Abstract

Experiments were performed to determine if xanthine oxidase is a source of free radicals during myocardial ischemia. Open chest dogs were subjected to 1 h of total occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery followed by 4 h of reperfusion. Directly after coronary artery occlusion, Ce141 microspheres were injected into the left atrium to mark the ischemic bed. At the end of reperfusion, the hearts were removed and sectioned. Autoradiography determined the ischemic myocardium at risk, and the necrotic zone was determined by triphenyl-tetrazolium staining. Animals were divided into three groups: control, allopurinol (24-h oral pretreatment 400 mg, then 50 mg/kg IV bolus on occlusion); and superoxide dismutase starting with occlusion (15 000 U/kg). The size of the infarct as a percentage of the tissue at risk was: 23.1 +/- 4.1 for the control; 8.7 +/- 1.2 for the allopurinol group; and 5.4 +/- 1.2 for the superoxide dismutase group. The infarcts in the allopurinol and superoxide dismutase groups were significantly smaller than those in the control groups. In a second series of experiments we determined the xanthine oxidase/xanthine dehydrogenase content of dog myocardium. The left anterior descending branch was ligated for 30 min and then biopsies were removed from both the normal and the ischemic regions. Total enzyme content did not differ between the two regions averaging 0.259 U/g protein for the ischemic tissue and 0.225 U/g protein for the normal region. Only 9.8% of the enzyme was in the oxidase form in the normal region while 32.8% was in the oxidase form in the ischemic zone.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
