Although hyperglycemia is one factor that determines the outcome of myocardial ischemic insult, it is still not clear whether it is causally related to decreased ischemic tolerance in diabetic patients. In contrast to clinical and epidemiological studies demonstrating a higher risk of cardiovascular disorders in diabetic patients, experimental data are not unequivocal and suggest that, aside from higher myocardial vulnerability, diabetes mellitus may be associated with the triggering of adaptive processes leading to paradoxically lower susceptibility to ischemia. It has been proposed that this phenomenon shares some molecular pathways with short-term preconditioning and other forms of endogenous protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury in the nondiseased heart. The present article reviews some controversial findings of enhanced resistance to ischemia in the diabetic heart that stem from experimental studies in different models of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Specifically, it addresses the issue of potential mechanisms of increased resistance to ischemia in an experimental model of streptozotocin-induced diabetes, particularly with respect to the role of reactive oxygen species, hyperglycemia as one of the stress factors, and cell-signalling mechanisms mediated by 'prosurvival' cascades of protein kinases in relation to the mechanisms of classical ischemic preconditioning. Finally, mechanisms involved in the suppression of protection in the diabetic myocardium including the effect of concomitant pathology, such as hypercholesterolemia, are discussed. |
