Megjegyzések:The study aimed to examine whether L-carnitine and its derivatives, acetyl-L-carnitine and propionyl-L-carnitine, were equally effective and able to improve postischemic cardiac function, reduce the incidence of reperfusion-induced ventricular fibrillation, infarct size, and apoptotic cell death in ischemic/reperfused isolated rat hearts. There are several studies indicating that L-carnitine, a naturally occurring amino acid and an essential cofactor, can improve mechanical function and substrate metabolism not only in hypertrophied or failing myocardium but also in ischemic/reperfused hearts. The effects of L-carnitine, acetyl-L-carnitine, and propionyl-L-carnitine, on the recovery of heart function, incidence of reperfusion-induced ventricular fibrillation (VF), infarct size, and apoptotic cell death after 30 min ischemia followed by 120 min reperfusion were studied in isolated working rat hearts. Hearts were perfused with various concentrations of L-carnitine (0.5 and 5 mM), acetyl-L-carnitine (0.5 and 5 mM), and propionyl-L-carnitine (0.05, 0.5, and 5 mM), respectively, for 10 min before the induction of ischemia. Postischemic recovery of CF, AF, and LVDP was significantly improved in all groups perfused with 5 mM of L-carnitine, acetyl-L-carnitine, and propionyl-L-carnitine. Significant postischemic ventricular recovery was noticed in the hearts perfused with 0.5 mM of propionyl-L-carnitine, but not with the same concentration of L-carnitine or L-acetyl carnitine. The incidence of reperfusion VF was reduced from its control value of 90 to 10% (p < 0.05) in hearts perfused with 5 mM of propionyl-L-carnitine only. Other doses of various carnitines failed to reduce the incidence of VF. The protection in CF, AF, LVDP, and VF reflected in a reduction in infarct size and apoptotic cell death in hearts treated with various concentrations of carnitine derivatives. The difference between effectiveness of various carnitines on the recovery of postischemic myocardium may be explained by different membrane permeability properties of carnitine and its derivatives.
