Megjegyzések:	We studied the effect of preconditioning and Gikgo biloba extract (EGb 761) in relation to the recovery of contractile function after global ischemia in the isolated working rat heart. METHODS: Hearts (n = 12 in each group) were randomly divided into five groups: In group I, hearts were subjected to 30 min of normothermic global ischemia followed by 30 min of reperfusion; in group II, they were subjected to one cycle of preconditioning consisting of 5 min ischemia and 10 min reperfusion before the induction of 30 min of ischemia and 30 min of reperfusion; group III hearts underwent two cycles of preconditioning; group IV hearts underwent three cycles of preconditioning; and group hearts underwent four cycles of preconditioning before the onset of 30 min ischemia followed by 30 min of reperfusion. RESULTS: Ventricular fibrillation (total) and ventricular tachycardia (no preconditioning) both fell from 100% to 50% (P < 0.05) after four cycles of preconditioning. In relation to ventricular fibrillation, preconditioning significantly reduced the formation of oxygen free radicals, measured by electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR), but recovery of cardiac function was low in all preconditioned groups. Because of the relatively low incidence of arrhythmias (50% ventricular fibrillation and 50% ventricular tachycardia) and relatively low cardiac function in Group V, EGb 761, a free-radical scavenger, was chosen to improve myocardial contractile function in preconditioned hearts. Fifty and 100 mg/kg of EGb 761 (per os) significantly improved coronary flow, aortic flow, left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), and the first derivative of LVDP (LVDdP/dtmax) in the four-cycle preconditioned group. Thus, after 30 min of reperfusion, aortic flow was improved from 11.6 +/- 0.9 ml/min to 19.7 +/- 1.2 ml/min (P < 0.05) with a dose of 50 mg/kg of EGb 761 and to 22.0 +/- 1.5 ml/min (P < 0.05) with a dose 100 mg/kg of EGb 761, in the four-cycle preconditioned group. During reperfusion, the formation of free radicals was reduced by approximately 50 and 60% using 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg of EGb 761, respectively, when compared with the four-cycle preconditioned drug-free control group. CONCLUSION: We have demonstrated that EGb 761 can improve contractile function after global ischemia in the isolated working rat heart by reducing the formation of oxygen free radicals, and we have shown that this protection is additive to that of ischemia-induced preconditioning.

Cím:	Effects of SOD, catalase, and a novel antiarrhythmic drug, EGB 761, on reperfusion-induced arrhythmias in isolated rat hearts / Tosaki A., Droy-Lefaix M. T., Pali T., Das D. K.
Dátum:	1993
Megjegyzések:	Effects of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, EGB 761 (Tanakan), and their combination on reperfusion-induced ventricular fibrillation (VF), tachycardia (VT), and the formation of oxygen free radicals were studied after 30 min of global ischemia followed by reperfusion in isolated rat hearts. In the first series of studies, rats received a daily dose of 10(4), 2 x 10(4), or 5 x 10(4) U/kg of SOD (i.v.); 2.5 x 10(4), 5 x 10(4), or 10(5) U/kg of catalase (i.v.); and 25, 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg of EGB 761 (per os), respectively, for 10 d (chronic administration). Neither SOD nor catalase alone reduced the incidence of reperfusion arrhythmias, but EGB 761 dose-dependently reduced the incidence of such arrhythmias. The coadministration of SOD (5 x 10(4) U/kg) with catalase (5 x 10(4) U/kg) significantly reduced the incidence of VF and VT. The same reduction in the incidence of VF and VT was observed when SOD (5 x 10(4) U/kg) was given in combination with EGB 761 (50 mg/kg). In the second series of studies, hearts were isolated and perfused with 5 x 10(4) U/l of SOD plus 5 x 10(4) U/l of catalase (acute treatment), and the incidence of reperfusion-induced VF and VT was significantly reduced. The combination of SOD (5 x 10(4) U/l) with EGB 761 (50 mg/l) also reduced the incidence of VF and VT. In these experiments, we studied the time course of oxygen radical formation using 5,5-dimethyl-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO), a spin trap, and it was found that EGB 761 (200 mg/l) or the coadministration of EGB 761 (50 mg/l) with SOD (5 x 10(4) U/l) almost completely abolished the formation of oxygen radicals during reperfusion measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Although SOD or catalase alone significantly reduced the formation of oxygen radicals, these drugs failed to prevent the development of reperfusion arrhythmias, while their combination significantly attenuated both the formation of free radicals and the incidence of reperfusion-induced arrhythmias. Our results indicate that the combination therapy may synergistically reduce the formation of free radicals and the incidence of reperfusion-induced VF and VT.

Cím:	Effects of Ginkgo biloba extract and preconditioning on the diabetic rat myocardium / A. Tosaki, T. Pali, Marie-Thérèse Droy-Lefaix
Dátum:	1996
ISSN:	0012-186X
Megjegyzések:	Effects of preconditioning and Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761) were studied in isolated nondiabetic and diabetic ischaemic and re-perfused rat hearts. Hearts were randomly divided into five groups in both the age-matched non-diabetic and the 8-week streptozotocin-induced diabetic groups: Group I, hearts were subjected to 30 min of global ischaemia followed by 30 min of re-perfusion; Group II, one cycle of preconditioning consisting of 5 min ischaemia and 10 min re-perfusion before the induction of 30 min of ischaemia and 30 min of re-perfusion; Group III, two cycles of preconditioning; Group IV, three cycles; and Group V, four cycles before the onset of 30 min ischaemia followed by 30 min of re-perfusion. Four cycles of ischaemic preconditioning resulted in a reduction of arrhythmias in non-diabetic rats. Thus, in non-diabetics, the incidence of ventricular fibrillation and tachycardia fell from 92% and 100% (no preconditioning) to 33% (p < 0.05) and 42% (p < 0.05), respectively. Four cycles of preconditioning failed to reduce the incidence of re-perfusion arrhythmias in diabetic subjects. Preconditioning reduced the formation of oxygen free radicals measured by electron spin resonance spectroscopy, but the recovery of cardiac function was low in all non-diabetic and diabetic preconditioned groups. EGb 761 at 25 and 50 mg/kg improved cardiac function in non-preconditioned and preconditioned non-diabetic and diabetic hearts. During re-perfusion in the four-cycle preconditioned non-diabetic and diabetic groups, the amount of free radicals was reduced approximately by 50 and 70% using 25 and 50 mg/kg of EGb 761, respectively. EGb 761 improved cardiac function after ischaemia in both non-preconditioned and preconditioned non-diabetic and diabetic rats. Our data suggest that diabetes could abolish the precondition-induced protection.

Cím:	The protective effect of EGb 761 in isolated ischemic/reperfused rat hearts : a link between cardiac function and nitric oxide production / Varga Edit, Bódi Annamária, Ferdinandy Péter, Droy-Lefaix Marie-Therese, Blasig Ingolf E., Tósaki Árpád
Dátum:	1999
Megjegyzések:	This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761) on the nitric oxide (NO) production in relation to the recovery of postischemic cardiac function in isolated working rat hearts. Rats were orally treated with various doses (25, 50, 75, and 100 mg/kg/day) of EGb 761 for 10 days. Hearts were isolated in "working mode" and subjected to 30-min ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion. EGb 761 inhibited NO production measured by electron spin-resonance spectroscopy (ESR), and improved the recovery of postischemic cardiac function (coronary flow, aortic flow, left ventricular developed pressure and its first derivative) in the ischemic/reperfused myocardium. Thus in rats treated with 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg/kg/day of EGb 761 and in hearts subjected to 30-min ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion, aortic flow was increased from its postischemic drug-free control value of 8.0+/-0.4 to 8.6+/-0.4 ml/min (NS), 17.3+/-0.9 ml/min (p<0.05), 21.5+/-1.1 ml/min (p<0.05), and 23.6+/-1.2 ml/min, respectively. The same recovery in postischemic coronary flow, left ventricular developed pressure, and its first derivative also was observed. In the initial phase of reperfusion, NO production measured by ESR was reduced by 85% in the 75 mg/ kg/day of EGb 761-treated group in comparison with the drug-free ischemic/reperfused hearts. Inducible NO synthase (iNOS) messenger RNA (mRNA) measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) also was reduced by 41 and 58% in the groups treated with 75 and 100 mg/kg/day of EGb 761, respectively. Our findings show that EGb 761 directly acts as an NO scavenger and concomitantly inhibits the expression of iNOS mRNA. Thus, EGb 761 may act as a potent inhibitor of NO production under the condition of ischemia/reperfusion, improving the recovery of postischemic cardiac function.
