| Abstract | The cardioprotective properties of inhibition of poly (ADP-ribose) synthetase (PARS) were investigated in the isolated perfused heart of the rat. Hearts were perfused in the Langendorff mode and subjected to 23 min total global ischaemia and reperfused for 60 min. Left ventricular function was assessed by means of an intra-ventricular balloon. High energy phosphates were measured by 31P-NMR spectroscopy. Intracellular levels of NAD were measured by capillary electrophoresis of perchloric acid extracts of hearts at the end of reperfusion. Reperfusion in the presence of the PARS inhibitor 1,5 didroxyisoquinoline (ISO, 100 microM) attenuated the mechanical dysfunction observed following 1 h of reperfusion; 27+/-13 and 65+/-8% recovery of preischaemic rate pressure product for control and 100 microM ISO, respectively. This cardioprotection was accompanied by a preservation of intracellular high-energy phosphates during reperfusion; 38+/-2 vs 58+/-4% (P<0.05) of preischaemic levels of phosphocreatine (PCr) for control and 100 microM ISO respectively and 23+/-1 vs 31+/-3% (P < 0.05) of preischaemic levels of ATP for control and 100 microM ISO respectively. Cellular levels of NAD were higher in ISO treated hearts at the end of reperfusion; 2.56+/-0.45 vs 4.76+/-1.12 micromoles g(-1) dry weight (P<0.05) for control and ISO treated. These results demonstrate that the cardioprotection afforded by inhibition of PARS activity with ISO is accompanied by a preservation of high-energy phosphates and cellular NAD levels and suggest that the mechanism responsible for this cardioprotection may involve prevention of intracellular ATP depletion. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
