Endothelium-derived nitric oxide regulates postischemic myocardial oxygenation and oxygen consumption by modulation of mitochondrial electron transport

Nitric oxide (NO) production is increased in postischemic myocardium, and NO can control mitochondrial oxygen consumption in vitro. Therefore, we investigated the role of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS)-derived NO on in vivo regulation of oxygen consumption in the postischemic heart. Mice were subjec...

Description
Summary:Nitric oxide (NO) production is increased in postischemic myocardium, and NO can control mitochondrial oxygen consumption in vitro. Therefore, we investigated the role of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS)-derived NO on in vivo regulation of oxygen consumption in the postischemic heart. Mice were subjected to 30 minutes of coronary ligation followed by 60 minutes of reperfusion. Myocardial oxygen tension (Po2) was monitored by electron paramagnetic resonance oximetry. In wild-type, N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)-treated (with 1 mg/mL in drinking water), and eNOS knockout (eNOS-/-) mice, no difference was observed among baseline myocardial Po2 values (8.6+/-0.7, 10.0+/-1.2, and 10.1+/-1.2 mm Hg, respectively) or those measured at 30 minutes of ischemia (1.4+/-0.6, 2.3+/-0.9, and 3.1+/-1.4 mm Hg, respectively). After reperfusion, myocardial Po2 increased markedly (P
