In the diabetic heart, the part of fatty acid (FA) @oxidation in ATP production increases, and alterations of membrane lipid composition play a key role in these metabolic changes. We studied the effect of a change in phospholipid turnover (TMZ, 7.5 mgd’), or FA composition (DHA, 200 mitochondrial respiration in mg.d-‘), on saponinpermeabilized cardiac fibers in the streptozotocin model of type I diabetes. In the presence of glutamate or pyruvate + malate, neither diabetes nor treatment changed the respiration with or without ADP 2 mM and creatine 20 mM. The apparent K, for ADP (with creatine 20 mM) in diabetics fibers (222.9i48.5 pM vs increased 105.2ztl4.5 PM), but both TMZ and DHA prevented this alteration. Diabetes inhibited the respiration stimulated by ADP I mM (Vmax) with both octanoate (14.03ki.40 v.5 17.141t3.42 l.~moles 02.min-‘.g-‘) and palmitoylcamitint (PC) (9.84ti.94 vs ll.71~.99 pmoles 02.min.‘.g-‘). but neither DHA nor TMZ influenced this effect. llowever in the presence of PC, TMZ limited the increase of ACR (Vmax/Vo) : 4.04 -+ 0.43 vs 5.45 f 0.53 In conclusion, diabetes impairs the affinity of mitochondria for ADP, but this effect can he attenuated by DHA or TMZ. This metabolic changes may be related to mitochondrial membrane lipid alterations, since they could be improved by treatments affecting membrane homeostasis.

We investigated the effect of STZ-induced diabetes and selenite (SE) treatment on the responses of isolated rat hearts to P-adrenergic receptor (P-AR) sfimulation by isoproterenol (ISO). Basal and ISOinduced max tension, rates of tension development (+dT/dt) and relaxation (-dT/dt) were masured in isolated hearts from control, diabetic, SE-treated control and diabetic rats. The max of developed tensions of basal contractions were similar in all groups, but IS0 responses, when compared to control, were smaller (about o/015) in all treatsd groups. Baseline +dT/dt and -dT/dt were decreased in
diabetes and Se-treatment did not alter these parameters In diabetic group. IS0 induced a similar increase in +dT/dt in all groups, but IS0 induced increase in -dT/dt was higher in diabetics and SEtreated diabetics. Heart rate was found to be slower in both diabetic groups. Our preliminary results suggest that there may be a small but significant increase in IjAR density and P-AR-Gs coupling in diabetic hearts which is not affected by SE treatment * .Illl\ \rMi
