Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The ability of mild hypothermia (MH; 34 degrees C) to protect against postischemic endothelial injury and decrease reactive oxygen species' (ROS) formation was studied using lucigenin and luminol enhanced chemiluminescence (CL). Lucigenin CL is largely specific for superoxide, while luminol reacts with many ROS. Isolated rat livers perfused under constant flow in a non-recirculating system were exposed to 2.5 h of ischemia after 0.5 h perfusion with Krebs-Henseleit buffer at either normothermia (38 degrees C) or mild hypothermia (34 degrees C) (n = 5, all groups). CL (cps), vascular resistance (Woods units), O2 consumption, and potassium efflux were measured at the end of perfusion, and at 0 min reperfusion, and every 30 min during reperfusion. For both the lucigenin and luminol groups, CL and vascular resistance increased significantly (repeat measures ANOVA, P <0.05) for normothermia (NT, 38 degrees C) but not mild hypothermia. Potassium efflux did not change significantly for the mild hypothermia groups. In the luminol enhanced group, oxygen consumption was greater in the mildly hypothermic group at 1 h and 1.5 h of reperfusion. Mild hypothermia decreased postischemic ROS production. Increased vascular resistance in the normothermia group may indicate an endothelial injury. Mild hypothermia appears to protect against this injury.
