REDUCED TOLERANCE FOR GLOBAL ISCHEMIA AND REPERFUSION IN HYPERTROPHIED HEARTS OF AORTA-BANDED RATS. L.H. Snoeckx, G.J. van der Vusse, W.A. Cou~ans and R.S. Reneman. Department of Physiology, University of Limburg, Maastricht, The Netherlands. Isolated rat hearts were subjected to 45 min global ischemia ten weeks after aortabanding. Recovery was present in only 4 out of 9 hypertrophied (HT) hearts resulting in 15% restoration of aortic flow (vs 75% in control hearts). The HT hearts had a significantly lower coronary flow per gram heart weight and lost higher amounts of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) than control hearts (28.6 vs 18.6 U.g--ww). Both groups lost comparable amounts of degradation products of adenine nueleotides (AN), but the release was significantly retarded in ~T hearts. After 45 min reperfusion tissue contents of degradation products of AN were comparable in both groups of hearts. Significantly higher contents of ATP (8.7 #mol.g-- dw) and ATP + ADP + AMP (14 #mol.g -I dw) wer~ found in controls than in the non-recovered HT hearts (resp. 5.7 and 10.3 #mol.g- dw). In ~he recovered HT hearts however, higher contents were found (resp. 7.3 and 12 mol.g- dw). Energy charge at the end of the reperfuslon period was significantly higher in control (0.79) and recovered HT hearts (0.77) than in non-recovered HT hearts (0.71). It is concluded that the higher loss of LDH indicates a more pronounced damage of myocardial structures. In the reperfused HT hearts the delayed washout of AN and the lower post-ischemic flow suggest incomplete recovery of tissue circulation and, hence, aggravation of ischemic damage (supported by MEDIGON/ZWO).

Endothelial cell damage and blood l i p i d modifications might have a role in the pathogenesis of I.H.D. Twenty-six Type 2 diabetic patients with I.H.D. and 28 matched Type 2 diabetics without I.H.D. were studied. I.H.D. patients had poor metabolic control(HbA1c=9.3~2%,serum fructosamine=3.39+O.3 mmol/l)in comparison with patients without I.H.D.(8+1%,p
