Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in infarcted and noninfarcted rabbit myocardium was determined. NOS activity, as measured by conversion of [14C]arginine to [14C]citrulline, was significantly higher in the infarcted area of myocardium (22.7 +/- 3.7 fmol/mg as compared to 7.67 +/- 1.0 in noninfarcted area). NOS activity within the area of risk remained on control level. Increased inducible NOS activity was observed on the first postoperative day and persisted for at least 14 days; it declined 3 weeks after infarction. Citrulline formation was inhibited by N-omega-nitro-L-arginine and N-omega-monomethyl-L-arginine The localization of NOS by monoclonal anti-NOS antibody indicates mononuclear cells/macrophages as the likely source of the enzyme. The concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1 beta were not increased in peripheral blood or myocardium.
