Repetitive brief ischemia is known to induce myocardial tolerance to of free radicals, especially superischemic damage. Since generation occurs during reperfusion phase under oxide anion in mitochondria, these conditions, we investigated mitochondrial manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) content of canine myocardium after four 5min occluMn-SOD content of inner and outer resion and reperfusion of LAD. gions of ischemic and non-ichemic myocardium was measured by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay. At 3 hours after brief ischemia, Mn-SOD content of ischemic myocardium was decreased slightly. However, Mn-SOD content of ischemic region, especially the inner area at risk (2.8+0.2ug/mg protein, mean+SEM), was increased compared with that of non-ischemic area (2.0?0.2ug/mg protein,p<0.05). These results suggest that mitochondrial Mn-SOD induction induced by brief ischemia plays an important role for myocardial torerance against subsequent ischemia.

Hamada" Third Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine and Health Chemistry, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences* Showa University, Tokyo, Japan. We studied cardiac reperfusion injury in canine heart with ESR (spin trapping agent :PBN, 50 mg/kg BW). Detection of PBN adduct from right ventricular blood samples after coronary reperfusion was studied in connection with decrease in SR Ca-ATPase activity and degradation of SR protein. To elcidate the mechanism of reperfusion injury, extracted SR and SL were reacted with H202 + Fe3+-ADP or HOCl. Morphological analysis was done by observing appearance of contraction band in myocytes. Five fold increase in PBN adduct than that of control was observed in reperfusion after 10 min of ischemia. No significant decreases in SR Ca-ATPase activity was found in simple ischemia for 10 min, marked reduction in the activity was recognized in reperfusion after 10 min of ischemia without any alteration in SR protein with electrophoresis. SR and SL and 0.1 u&i or 5)&l Ca uptake were inhibited by 0.1 mM or 5 mM H202, respectively, HOCl, respectively. Inhibited SR Ca-ATPase activities by H202 or HOC1 did not bring with any degradation in major ATPase protein with electrophoresis. These results suggest reperfusion after short period of ischemia could be oxidate some molecular level in active site of these enzymes.
