Abstract
Direct detection of paramagnetic species in control and adriamycin-perfused rat hearts has been carried out. Depending on the flow rate of the perfusion solution(8,4,2 and 1 ml/min) different paramagnetic species were observed: Fe(III)(g=2.12)at 4 ml/min; three types of oxygen centered radicals of which two in control hearts(g{norm of matrix}1=2.05 g{norm of matrix}2=2.038 g⊥1=g⊥2=2.008) and the third one (g{norm of matrix}=2.03 g⊥=2.005) in adriamycin perfused hearts, at 2 ml/min. The latter radical was the only one observed at perfusion rate of 1 ml/min both in control and adriamycin treated systems. A relationship between the intracellular enzymatic reductive activation of the anthracycline and the occurrence of ischemic conditions(4,2 and 1 ml/min) in myocardial tissues is proposed basing on the relative amounts of the paramagnetic species above mentioned. © 1988 Academic Press, Inc.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
