| Abstract | The objective of this study was to determine the effect of calcium on water homeostasis in cardiac muscle and whether cytotoxic edema is involved in ischemic-reperfusion injury. Cellular water was quantified by multinuclear nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in isolated rat hearts during 30 min of ischemia and reperfusion. An increase in extracellular calcium from 0.75 to 2.25 mM increased ischemic swelling twofold, with a marginal effect on functional recovery at reperfusion. Inhibition of Ca$^{2+}$ channels with verapamil and bepridil reduced ischemic swelling by 58–66% and improved cardiac viability and functional recovery. Inhibition of the Na/Ca exchange with amiloride resulted in reperfusion swelling resulting, from the inhibition of calcium efflux via the Na/Ca exchange. This was confirmed by inhibition with amiloride of 63% of cellular swelling induced by calcium overload via the Na/Ca exchange after calcium-free perfusion (calcium paradox). The volume-related activity of amiloride was attributed to the inhibition of Na/Ca exchange because the inhibition of the Na/H antiport resulted in low cellular volumes. The consistent changes in cellular volumes induced by the various agents used to alter calcium fluxes provide evidence of a pro-edematous effect of intracellular calcium accumulation during myocardial ischemia. The administration of toxic doses of bepridil to the perfused and ischemic heart resulted in the shrinkage of cellular volumes and in functional failure. The toxicity of bepridit was mediated by unrestricted release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticolum because magnesium cardioplegia, which limits calcium release, lowered ischemic swelling without cellular shrinkage and improved functional recovery. In all experimental groups, cellular edema subsided during the early stages of reperfusion, indicating efficient dissipation of intracellular hyperosmolarity. There was no evidence that cytotoxic edema develops during ischemia or reperfusion, or both. On the contrary, calcium-mediated cardiac toxicity was associated with cellular volume shrinkage as a result of the efflux of osmolytes through permeabilized sarcolemmal membranes. It is concluded that calcium ion is involved in the regulation of cellular volumes, and its intracellular accumulation promotes swelling in ischemic myocytes with intact membranes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
