Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of nicotinamide (NIC), an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase (PARS), on intestinal and liver perfusion, O2 kinetics, and energy metabolism over 24 h of hyperdynamic porcine endotoxemia. DESIGN:Prospective, randomized, controlled experimental study with repeated measures. SETTING:Animal laboratory in a university hospital. SUBJECTS:Sixteen pigs, divided into two groups: nine endotoxemic animals without therapy (CON); seven animals treated with NIC. INTERVENTIONS:Pigs were anesthetized, mechanically ventilated, and instrumented. Intravenous E. Coli LPS was continuously infused over 24 h concomitant with fluid resuscitation. After 12 h of endotoxemia continuous i.v. infusion of NIC (10 mg/kg per hour) was administered until the end of the experiment. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS:All animals developed hyperdynamic circulation with sustained increase in cardiac output and progressive fall in mean arterial pressure. NIC maintained blood pressure without affecting CO. Hepato-splanchnic macrocirculation was not modified by the treatment. Nevertheless, although NIC attenuated the progressive rise of ileal mucosal-arterial PCO2 gap, it failed to improve portal venous L/P ratio, a marker of the overall energy state of the portal venous drained viscera. Similarly, neither the increased hepatic venous L/P ratio nor the simultaneous drop in hepatic lactate uptake were influenced by NIC. CONCLUSIONS:Although NIC maintained hemodynamic stabilization during long-term endotoxemia, it was unable to improve LPS-induced deterioration of the hepato-splanchnic energy metabolism. More potent and selective PARS inhibitors are needed to elucidate the role of a PARS-dependent pathway in a clinically relevant models of sepsis.
