Abstract:
:To examine the action of alpha-tocopherol on high energy phosphate compounds, a 31P-NMR technique was applied to perfused Langendorff rat hearts. Rats were treated with tocopherol acetate (25 mg/kg body wt i.p.) for 7 consecutive days. On the 7th day, the rat hearts were isolated for the Langendorff experiment. After 30 min of global ischemia the NMR signals of creatine phosphate and ATP in myocardium disappeared, and then recovered slightly in the reperfusion following ischemia. However, in the tocopherol-treated rat hearts, the restoration of high energy phosphate compounds occurred quickly after the beginning of reperfusion, although there was no significant difference in the destruction of high energy phosphate compounds during the ischemia. The alpha-tocopherol level in the myocardium was severely depleted by ischemia-reperfusion. In the alpha-tocopherol-treated animals, the alpha-tocopherol level in myocardium was still significantly higher than the control level at the end of 30 min of global ischemia. The heart mitochondrial respiratory function was simultaneously protected against ischemia-reperfusion injury. The role of alpha-tocopherol was discussed as a radical scavenger and membrane stabilizer against oxygen stress.
