Abstract

The results about the myocardial protection of recta of the nitric oxide precursor L-arginine upon reperrusion injury after ischemia are diverse. These diversities may be model dependent. Experiments were designed and performed to investigate myocardial protection effects according to the concentration of L-arginine. The Isolated rat hearts were subjected in a 30 minutes oi normothermic ischemia and reperfused for 30 minutes with reperfusate containing 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 moil L-arginine. After 30 minutes of reperfusion, group with 1 and 2 mM/L L-arginine showed a trend of better recovery in left ventricular systolic function(left ventricular developed pressure, positive maximum dpfdt), diastolic function(negative maximum dpfdt) and coronary flow compared to control group(reperfusate no L-arginine). Recovery was impaired with a higher concentration, and at 4 moil L-arginine r covery was worse than control(p (0, 05). These results suggest that optimal concentration of L-arginine Is Important or the recovery of myocardial and endothelial function after ischemia and reperfusion.

허혈후 재관류시 일산화질소의 전구체인 L-arginin에 심근기능에 미치는 영향은 각 연구의 조건에 따라 일정하지 않다. 저자들은 L-arginine의 농도에 의한 심근보호효과의 차이를 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 란겐돌프 관류장치하의 흰쥐 적출심장에 37.5$^{\circ}C$에서 30분의 허혈과 30분의 재관류를 실시하면서 재관류시 관류액에 L-arginine을 첨가하여 농도를 1, 2, 3, 4 mm/L로 하였고 대 조군에는 L-arginine을 첨가하지 않았다. 허혈기 직전과 재관류 30분에 좌심실 수축기능(좌심실 발생압, 좌심실압 최대 순간 증가율), 이완기능(좌심실압 최대 순간 감소율)과 관상관류량을 측정하였다. L-arginine 농도가 1mm/L, 2 mm/L인 실험군은 좌심실 발생압, 좌심실압 최대 순간증가율, 좌심실압 최대 순간감소율 및 관상관류량의 회복률이 대조군에 비해 통계적 유의성은 없었으나 우수한 경향을 보였다. 그러나 L-arginine의 농도가 증가함에 따라 회복률은 감소하여 4 mM/L농도의 실험군은 대조군보다 유의하게 낮은 회복률을 보였다(p(0.05). 이러한 연구결과를 통해 심근허혈후 재관류시 심근기능 및 관상관류량 회복을 향상시키기 위해서는 L-arginine을 2mM/ 이하의 농도로 투여 해야 하며 향후 그 이상의 높은 농도에서 나타난 회복 저하에 관한 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
