Decreased complex III activity in mitochondria isolated from rat heart subjected to ischemia and reperfusion: role of reactive oxygen species and cardiolipin

Abstract

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are considered an important factor in ischemia‐reperfusion injury to cardiac myocites. We have examined the effects of ischemia (30 min) and ischemia followed by reperfusion (15 min) of rat hearts on the activity of complex III and on the cardiolipin content in isolated mitochondria. Mitochondrial production of H 2 O 2 and lipid peroxidation was also measured. The capacity of mitochondria to produce both H 2 O 2 and lipid peroxidation increased upon reperfusion. The activity of complex III was 22% and 46% lower in ischemic and reperfused rat heart mitochondria, respectively, than that of controls. These changes in complex III activity were associated to parallel changes in state 3 respiration. The mitochondrial content of cardiolipin, which is required for optimal activity of complex III, decreased by 28% and by 50% as a function of ischemia and reperfusion, respectively. The lower complex III activity in mitochondria from reperfused rat hearts could be completely restored to the level of normal hearts by exogenously added cardiolipin. It is proposed that the loss of complex III activity in reperfused rat hearts can be mainly ascribed to a loss of cardiolipin content, due to oxidative attack by oxygen free radicals.

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.
