In this study, we examined the effects of oxidative stress adaptation on myocardial ischemic reperfusion injury. Oxidative stress was induced by injecting endotoxin (0.5 mg/kg) into the rat. After 24 h, rats were killed, hearts were isolated, and the effects of ischemia-reperfusion were studied using an isolated working heart preparation. The development of oxidative stress was examined by assessing malonaldehyde production in the heart. The antioxidant defense system was studied by estimating antioxidant enzyme activities and ascorbate- as well as thiol-dependent antioxidant reserve. The results of our study indicated that endotoxin induced oxidative stress within 1 h of treatment; the stress was reduced progressively and steadily up to 24 h. The antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione (GSH) peroxidase, and GSH reductase were lowered up to 2 h and then increased. Both thiol- and ascorbate-dependent antioxidant reserve were enhanced, but the enhancement of the former was only transitory. After 24 h, endotoxin provided adequate protection to the heart from the ischemic-reperfusion injury, as evidenced by improved left ventricular function and aortic flow. Our results suggest that the induction of oxidative stress by endotoxin-induced adaptive modification of the antioxidant defense in the heart, thereby reducing ischemic-reperfusion injury.

Changes in myocardial antioxidants due to different durations of hypoxia at normal or lower temperatures were correlated with the recovery of structure and function on reoxygenation. Hearts perfused with substrate-free hypoxic buffer at 37 degrees C for 5 or 10 min and at 22 degrees C for 10 min showed a significant depression in the contractile function and rise in resting tension. Reoxygenation of these hearts at 37 degrees C for 20 min resulted in a recovery of these functions. On reoxygenation, hearts made hypoxic for 10 min at 37 degrees C showed poor recovery of the contractile function, increase in malondialdehyde content and a dramatic increase in the creatine phosphokinase activity in the coronary effluent. Addition of catalase to the perfusion medium markedly improved function recovery of these hearts. Hypoxia at 37 degrees C for 5 min or at 22 degrees C for 10 min with or without reoxygenation had no effect on superoxide dismutase (SOD) or glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) activities. These antioxidants were depressed in hearts made hypoxic for 10 min at 37 degrees C with no further change on reoxygenation. Neither SOD nor GSHPx was detected in the coronary effluent during hypoxia or reoxygenation. Hypoxia at 37 or 22 degrees C for 10 min caused significant ultrastructural changes, and on reoxygenation 37 degrees C hypoxic hearts showed exacerbation, whereas the 22 degrees C hypoxic hearts showed recovery. These data support the hypothesis that reduced antioxidant reserve during hypoxia may contribute to the oxidative injury on reoxygenation, suggesting that maintenance of endogenous antioxidant levels during hypoxia may be important for recovery.
