Adult male Wistar rats were exposed to intermittent high altitude hypoxia of 7000 m simulated in a hypobaric chamber for 8 h/day, 5 days a week; the total number of exposures was 25. The concentration of individual phospholipids and their fatty acid (FA) profile was determined in right (RV) and left (LV) ventricles. Adaptation to hypoxia decreased the concentration of diphosphatidytglycerol (DPG) in hypertrophied RV by 19% and in non-hypertrophied LV by 12% in comparison with normoxic controls. Chronically hypoxic hearts exhibited lower phospholipid n-6 polyunsaturated FA(PUFA) content mainly due to decreased linoleic acid (18:2n-6), which was opposed by increased n-3 PUFA mainly due to docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) in phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylinositol (PI). The content of arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) was unchanged in total phospholipids, but in PC it was increased in both ventricles (by 22%) and in PE decreased in LV only (by 20%). Chronic hypoxia increased the un-saturation index of PC and PE in both ventricles. The content of monounsaturated FA (MUFA) was increased and 18:2n-6 decreased in DPG. The proportion of saturated FA was increased in PC and PI of hypoxic RV but not LV. The FA composition of phosphatidylserine was not altered in hypoxic ventricles. It is concluded that chronic hypoxia led to only minor changes in individual phospholipid concentration in rat ventricular myocardium, but markedly altered their FA profile. These changes, in particular the greater incorporation of n-3 PUFA into phospholipids and increased un-saturation index, may lead to a better preservation of membrane integrity and thereby contribute to improved ischemic tolerance of chronically hypoxic hearts. |
