Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate whether trimetazidine (TMZ; 10(-6)M), which has been shown to inhibit fatty acid oxidation, reduces the ionic imbalance induced by ischaemia and reperfusion, especially through an attenuation in intracellular changes in H(+) and Na(+). METHODS: Isovolumic rat hearts receiving 5.5 mM glucose and 1.2 mM palmitate as metabolic substrates were exposed to zero-flow ischaemia (TI) or low-flow ischaemia (LFI - coronary flow decreased by an average of 90%) (30 min at 37 degrees C) and then reperfused. 23Na nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to monitor intracellular Na(+) (Na(+)(i)) and 31P NMR spectroscopy was used to monitor intracellular pH (pH(i)). RESULTS: During LFI the major effect of TMZ was a significant reduction in intracellular acidosis, whereas during TI the main effect of TMZ was a significant reduction in Na(+)(i) gain. In addition, the further gain in Na(+)(i) that occurred during the first minutes of reperfusion following TI, and to a far lesser extent following LFI, was suppressed in TMZ-treated hearts and also suppressed when hearts were perfused without fatty acid. In both LFI and TI, TMZ-induced attenuation of ionic imbalance was associated with a significantly improved recovery of ventricular function on reperfusion, as assessed by a lower increase in diastolic pressure and an increased recovery of developed pressure. CONCLUSION: Our data provide evidence that specific myocardial metabolic modulation plays a significant role in reducing ionic imbalance during ischaemia and reperfusion.
