| Abstract | 1. Optimization of myocardial energy substrate metabolism improves the recovery of mechanical function of the post-ischaemic heart. This study investigated the role of K(ATP)-channels in the regulation of the metabolic and mechanical function of the aerobic and post-ischaemic heart by measuring the effects of the selective K(ATP)-channel activator, cromakalim, and the effects of the K(ATP)-channel antagonist, glibenclamide, in rat fatty acid perfused, working hearts in vitro. The role of K(ATP) channels in the cardioprotective actions of the adenosine A1-receptor agonist, N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA) was also investigated. 2. Myocardial glucose metabolism, mechanical function and efficiency were measured simultaneously in hearts perfused with modified Krebs-Henseleit solution containing 2.5 mM Ca2+, 11 mM glucose, 1.2 mM palmitate and 100 mu l(-1) insulin, and paced at 300 beats min(-1). Rates of glycolysis and glucose oxidation were measured from the quantitative production of 3H20 and 14CO2, respectively, from [5-3H/ U-14C]-glucose. 3. In hearts perfused under aerobic conditions, cromakalim (10 microM), CHA (0.5 microM) or glibenclamide (30 microM) had no effect on mechanical function. Cromakalim did not affect glycolysis or glucose oxidation, whereas glibenclamide significantly increased rates of glycolysis and proton production. CHA significantly reduced rates of glycolysis and proton production but had no effect on glucose oxidation. Glibenclamide did not alter CHA-induced inhibition of glycolysis and proton production. 4. In hearts reperfused for 30 min following 30 min of ischaemia, left ventricular minute work (LV work) recovered to 24% of aerobic baseline values. Cromakalim (10 microM), administered 5 min before ischaemia, had no significant effect on mechanical recovery or glucose metabolism. CHA (0.5 microM) significantly increased the recovery of LV work to 67% of aerobic baseline values and also significantly inhibited rates of glycolysis and proton production. Glibenclamide (30 microM) significantly depressed the recovery of mechanical function to < 1% of aerobic baseline values and stimulated glycolysis and proton production. 5. Despite the deleterious actions of glibenclamide per se in post-ischaemic hearts, the beneficial effects of CHA (0.5 microM) on the recovery of mechanical function and proton production were not affected by glibenclamide. 6. The data indicate that the cardioprotective mechanism of adenosine A1-receptor stimulation does not involve the activation of K(ATP)-channels. Furthermore, in rat fatty acid perfused, working hearts, stimulation of K(ATP)-channels is not cardioprotective and has no significant effects on myocardial glucose metabolism. |

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.
