Glutathione (GSH) decreases in dog myocardium upon acute coronary occlusion when compared with sham-operated dogs. Total glutathione content (GSHeq = GSH + 2GSSG) remains unchanged throughout the experiment (6 h after surgery) in both sham- and acute coronary occlusion-operated dogs. GSSG and
Alterations in the levels of glutathione, glutathione disulfide, malondialdehyde, and the activity of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase in nonischemic and ischemic parts of the left ventricle and in the right ventricle were studied in canine hearts after occlusion of the left anterior descending
To determine the effect of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Reduced Glutathione (GSH) as free-radical scavengers on cardiac performance in the reperfusion period up to 60 minutes after occlusion of the Left Anterior Descending artery (LAD), 16 dogs were selected for study. In the 30th and 60th minutes
The relation between the extent of myocardial injury sustained during reperfusion and total glutathione (GSH) content in the ischemic myocardium was examined in anesthetized open-chest pigs subjected to coronary occlusion for 45 minutes and reperfusion for 2 hours. In pigs infused with saline during
Administration of highly dispersed copper powder in a dose 0.2 mg/kg three days before modelled coronary-occlusion myocardial infarction caused transitory increase in activity of antioxidant enzymes--superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in the necrotic zone of myocardium of rats, and also
During restoration of blood flow of the ischemic heart induced by coronary occlusion, free radicals cause lipid peroxidation with myocardial injury. Lipid peroxidation end-products, such as malondialdehyde (MDA), have been used to assess oxygen free radical-mediated injury of the ischemic-reperfused
The present study was to evaluate the effect of exogenous glutathione on myocardial damage resulting from permanent (no reperfusion) coronary ligation (3 or 6 h) in anaesthetized dogs. Haemodynamics, infarct size and myocardial glutathione content were determined. Erythrocyte superoxide dismutase
The GSH level in myocardial tissue represents an important defense mechanism against oxygen toxicity. Since the ischemia-induced depletion of GSH might favour the cytotoxicity of oxygen-derived free radicals produced during reperfusion, we assessed the effects of the GSH donor, glutathione
BACKGROUND
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) results in the generation of oxygen-derived free radicals and the accumulation of lipid peroxidation-derived unsaturated aldehydes. However, the contribution of aldehydes to myocardial I/R injury has not been assessed.
OBJECTIVE
We tested the
The synthetic antioxidant dibunol, (ionol. 2,6-ditret-butyl-4-methylphenol) produces the limitation of the zone of the coronaro-occlusion myocardial infarction in rats by 15.8 and 24.2% on day 7 during daily oral administration in doses of 80 and 120 mg/kg, respectively. In the doses used, dibunol
The aim of this study was to determine whether bisaramil-an antiarrhythmic compound under clinical investigation-influences the reperfusion-induced arrhythmias and biochemical parameters characterizing occlusion-reperfusion-induced free-radical reactions. The left descending coronary artery (LAD)
In an ischaemic heart model the lipid peroxidation, scavenger state and ultrastructure were studied, to determine the action of a new antioxidant of dihydroquinoline type (MTDQ-DA). In dog experiments, the left descending coronary artery (LAD) was ligated permanently (30 minutes, 1, 2 or 3 hours) or
Recent evidence suggests that the mitochondrial K(ATP) channels may be involved as a subcellular mediator in cardioprotection afforded by ischemic and pharmacological preconditioning by K(ATP) activators. The present study investigated the effects of administration of non-hypotensive doses of
The potential protective effects of oleuropein, a dietary antioxidant of olive oil, has been investigated in the isolated rat heart. The organs were subjected to 30 minutes of no-flow global ischemia and then reperfused. At different time intervals, the coronary effluent was collected and assayed
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to examine the infarct-limiting effects of gamma-glutamylcysteine ethyl ester, a newly discovered synthetic precursor of glutathione biosynthesis, in a canine model of myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND
Reduced glutathione plays an important role in protecting
