Abstract：
:Isolated rat hearts were subjected to 30-min coronary artery occlusion followed by 120-min reperfusion. The hearts (n=8-12) were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit solution enriched with L-carnitine (0.5, 2.5 and 5 mM) for 10 min before and after ischemia or reperfusion and for the whole period of ischemia and reperfusion. Two-hour perfusion with L-carnitine during ischemia/reperfusion markedly (p<0.05) and dose-dependently decreased the incidence of ventricular tachycardia (VT, maximum 65%). The incidence of reperfusion ventricular fibrillation (VF) also decreased from 63% (control) to 17% in hearts perfused with 5 mM L-carnitine, as reflected by a significant (p<0.05) decline in VF duration from 218+/-99 sec in control to 19+/-19 sec. Perfusion of etomoxir (palmitoylcarnitinetransferase-1 inhibitor) along with L-carnitine reversed the antiarrhythmogenic action of L-carnitine. Interestingly, short time preischemic administration of L-carnitine produced a concentration-dependent arrhythmogenic effects on both ischemia and reperfusion-induced arrhythmias. These results show that L-carnitine produced a protective effect against reperfusion arrhythmias only when it was perfused for the whole period of the experiment. This protective action was reversed by concomitant use of etomoxir, suggesting that the efficacy of L-carnitine is due to its mitochondrial action but cannot be solely attributed to increased fatty acid oxidation.
