Abstract
Aluminium is light weight and toxic metal present ubiquitously on earth which has gained considerable attention due to its neurotoxic effects. The widespread use of products made from or containing aluminium is ensuring its presence in our body. There is prolonged retention of a fraction of aluminium that enters the brain, suggesting its potential for accumulation with repeated exposures. There is no known biological role for aluminium within the body but adverse physiological effects of this metal have been observed in mammals. The generation of oxidative stress may be attributed to its toxic consequences in animals and humans. The oxidative stress has been implicated in pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Though it remains unclear whether oxidative stress is a major cause or merely a consequence of cellular dysfunction associated with neurodegenerative diseases, an accumulating body of evidence implicates that impaired mitochondrial energy production and increased mitochondrial oxidative damage is associated with the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Being involved in the production of reactive oxygen species, aluminium may impair mitochondrial bioenergetics and may lead to the generation of oxidative stress. In this review, we have discussed the oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunctions occurring in Al neurotoxicity. In addition, the ameliorative measures undertaken in aluminium induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunctions have also been highlighted.

Abstract
The present study was performed to evaluate the cardioprotective effects of KR-33028, a novel Na+/H+ exchanger subtype 1 (NHE-1) inhibitor, in rat and dog models of coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion. In anesthetized rats subjected to a 45-min coronary occlusion and a 90-min reperfusion, KR-33028 at 5 min before occlusion (i.v. bolus) dose-dependently reduced myocardial infarct size from 58.0% to 46.6%, 40.3%, 39.7%, 33.1%, and 27.8% for 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, and 3.0 mg/kg respectively (P < 0.05). In anesthetized beagle dogs that underwent a 1.0-h occlusion followed by a 3.0-h reperfusion, KR-33028 (3 mg/kg, i.v. bolus) markedly decreased infarct size from 45.6% in vehicle-treated group to 16.4% (P < 0.05), and reduced the reperfusion-induced release in creatine kinase myocardial band isoenzyme (MB), lactate dehydrogenase, troponin-I, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, and glutamic pyruvic transaminase. In separate experiments to assess the effects of timing of treatment, KR-33028 (1 mg/kg, i.v. bolus) given 10 min before or at reperfusion in rat models also significantly reduced the myocardial infarct size (46.3% and 44.1% respectively) compared with vehicle-treated group. In all studies, KR-33028 caused no significant changes in any hemodynamic profiles. In an isolated rat heart model of hypothermic cardioplegia, KR-33028 (30 mum), which was added to the heart preservation solution (histidin-tryptophan-ketoglutarate) during hypothermic cardioplegic arrest, significantly improved the recovery of left ventricular developed pressure, heart rate and dP/dt(max) after reperfusion. Taken together, these results indicate that KR-33028 significantly reduced the myocardial infarction induced by ischemia and reperfusion in rats and dogs, without affecting hemodynamic profiles.

Abstract
Abnormal mitochondrial function is present in patients with peripheral arterial disease and may contribute to its clinical manifestations. However, the specific biochemical mitochondrial defects and their association with increased oxidative stress have not been fully characterized. Gastrocnemius muscle was obtained from peripheral arterial disease patients (n = 25) and age-matched controls (n = 16) and mitochondrial parameters were measured. Complexes I through IV of the electron transport chain were individually evaluated to assess for isolated defects. Muscle was also evaluated for protein and lipid oxidative changes by measuring the levels of protein carbonyls, lipid hydroperoxides, and total 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal binding and for the activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. Mitochondrial electron transport chain complexes I, III, and IV in arterial disease patients demonstrated significant reductions in enzymatic activities and mitochondrial respiration compared to controls. Oxidative stress biomarker analysis demonstrated significantly increased levels of protein carbonyls, lipid hydroperoxides, and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal compared to control muscle. Antioxidant enzyme activities were altered, with a significant decrease in superoxide dismutase activity and significant increases in catalase and glutathione peroxidase. Peripheral arterial disease is associated with abnormal mitochondrial function and evidence of significant oxidative stress.

Abstract
Ischemia induces a decrease in myocardial contractility that may lead more or less to contractile dysfunction in the heart. When the duration of ischemia is relatively short, myocardial contractility is immediately reversed to control levels upon reperfusion. In contrast, reperfusion induces myocardial cell death when the heart is exposed to a prolonged period of ischemia. This phenomenon is the so-called "reperfusion injury". Numerous investigators have reported the mechanisms underlying myocardial reperfusion injury such as generation of free radicals, disturbance in the intracellular ion homeostasis, and lack of energy for contraction. Despite a variety of investigations concerning the mechanisms for ischemia and ischemia–reperfusion injury, ionic disturbances have been proposed to play an important role in the genesis of the ischemia–reperfusion injury. In this present study, we focused on the contribution of Na+ overload and mitochondrial dysfunction during ischemia to the genesis of this ischemia–reperfusion injury.Key words: mitochondria, myocardial ischemia, Na+ channels, Na+/H+ exchanger, Na+ overload.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It has been suggested that blockade of the Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE1) can prevent atrial fibrillation (AF)-induced electrical remodeling and the development of AF. METHODS AND RESULTS AF was maintained by burst pacing in 10 chronically instrumented conscious goats. Intravenous and oral dosages of two NHE1 blockers (EMD87580 and EMD125021) resulted in plasma levels several magnitudes higher than required for effective NHE1 blockade. Shortening of atrial refractoriness immediately after 5 minutes of AF was not prevented by NHE1 blockade. In remodeled atria, increasing dosages of EMD87580 and EMD125021 did not reverse shortening of the atrial refractory period or reduce the duration of AF episodes. The cycle length during persistent AF also was not affected. Oral pretreatment with EMD87580 (8 mg/kg bid) starting 3 days before AF could not prevent electrical remodeling. After 24 and 48 hours of remodeling, the duration of AF paroxysms was 47 +/- 32 seconds and 135 +/- 63 seconds compared to 56 +/- 17 seconds and 136 +/- 52 seconds in placebo-treated animals (P > 0.8), respectively. CONCLUSION In the goat model of AF, the Na+/H+ exchanger inhibitors EMD87580 and EMD125021 did not prevent or revert AF-induced electrical remodeling. This indicates that activation of the Na+/H+ exchanger is not involved in the intracellular pathways of electrical remodeling. This does not support the suggestion that blockers of the Na+/H+ exchanger may be beneficial for prevention and treatment of AF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We hypothesized that cariporide, a sodium-hydrogen exchange inhibitor, would be as cardioprotective during the global myocardial ischemia of prolonged cardiac arrest as it is in settings of coronary occlusion. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifteen Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to receive bolus injections of cariporide or placebo in a dose of 3 mgxkg(-1) into the right atrium either 5 minutes before, or at 8 minutes after, onset of ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation was electrically induced and untreated for 8 minutes. Precordial compression, together with mechanical ventilation, was then started and continued for an interval of 8 minutes prior to attempted resuscitation. All but one placebo-treated animal were successfully resuscitated. Spontaneous defibrillation with restoration of circulation was observed in both cariporide-pretreatment and post-treatment groups but in none of the placebo-treated animals. Postresuscitation cardiac index, end-tidal CO(2), mean aortic pressure, left ventricular systolic pressure, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, and left ventricular contractile and lusitropic functions (dP/dt(40), and -dP/dt) were significantly less impaired after cariporide, especially in the pretreated group, compared to electrically defibrillated controls. Postresuscitation ventricular premature beats were significantly reduced after cariporide. The duration of post-resuscitation survival was significantly increased in animals pretreated with cariporide. CONCLUSIONS Cariporide, when administered prior to and during cardiac arrest, improved both the success of resuscitation and postresuscitation myocardial function.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate whether a selective Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor, SM-20550, can modulate the mitochondrial respiratory function and mitochondrial Ca2+ content in isolated rat hearts subjected to 40 min of ischemia and 20 min of reperfusion. SM-20550 (10, 100 nM) was administered for 5 min prior to ischemia and for 20 min during the reperfusion period. At 20 min after reperfusion, treatment with SM-20550 (10, 100 nM) improved the recovery of left ventricular developed pressure and suppressed the rise in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. Mitochondrial function, assessed by the state 3 oxygen respiration rate, respiratory control index, and oxidative phosphorylation rate, was significantly impaired after ischemia/reperfusion. Administration with SM-20550 (10, 100 nM) attenuated the impaired mitochondrial function, improving the state 3 respiration rate, respiratory control index, and oxidative phosphorylation rate. The mitochondrial Ca2+ content was significantly increased after ischemia/reperfusion but was suppressed by treatment with SM-20550 (10, 100 nM). A significant linear correlation was observed between the respiratory control index and mitochondrial Ca2+ content in the ischemic/reperfused hearts. In conclusion, SM-20550 improved the postischemic recovery of left ventricular function and concurrently protected mitochondrial function mediated by preventing mitochondrial Ca2+ overload.

Abstract
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is generally sustained. The mechanism is, at least in part, caused by progressive accumulation of intracellular sodium and calcium ions during untreated ventricular fibrillation, which subsequently increases defibrillation threshold. Cariporide, a potent and specific inhibitor of the sodium-hydrogen exchanger, has been shown to reduce intracellular sodium and calcium concentration in the setting of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. We hypothesized that cariporide would facilitate defibrillation from prolonged ventricular fibrillation in a rodent model of cardiac arrest and resuscitation. Fifteen Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to receive bolus injections of cariporide or placebo in a dose of 3 mg/kg into the right atrium either 5 mins before or at 8 mins after onset of ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation was electrically induced and untreated for 8 mins. Precordial compression together with mechanical ventilation was then started and continued for an interval of 8 mins before attempted electrical defibrillation. All but one placebo-treated animal were successfully resuscitated. Spontaneous defibrillation with restoration of circulation was observed in both cariporide pretreatment and treatment groups but in none of the placebo-treated animals. The duration of postresuscitation survival was significantly increased in animals pretreated with cariporide. Therefore, sodium-hydrogen exchanger inhibitors may provide new options in settings of cardiopulmonary resuscitation to facilitate defibrillation.

Abstract
This study describes the pharmacologic profile of a new Na+/H(+)-exchange inhibitor, FR183998, in anesthetized rats. FR183998 had a potent inhibitory effect on Na+/H+ exchange of rat lymphocytes with median inhibitory (IC50) value of 0.3 nM. Treatment with FR183998 (0.01-0.32 mg/kg, i.v.) reduced or completely abolished ventricular fibrillation and mortality induced by 5-min ischemia followed by reperfusion, when it was administered not only 5 min before ischemia but also 1 min before reperfusion. Myocardial infarct size induced by 30-min ischemia and 60-min reperfusion was reduced significantly in a dose-dependent manner by FR183998 (0.1-1.0 mg/kg, i.v.) when the drug was administered preischemically or at an early phase of ischemia. The ventricular tachycardia and the ventricular fibrillation observed during the ischemic period also were suppressed significantly. These results indicate that FR183998 has a strong inhibitory effect on Na+/H+ exchange and suggest that treatment with FR183998 either before or immediately after the onset of ischemia can prevent the occurrence of arrhythmias and myocardial cell necrosis in situations of ischemia and reperfusion.

Abstract
The Na(+)-H(+) exchange (NHE) is a major mechanism by which the heart adapts to intracellular acidosis during ischemia and recovers from the acidosis after reperfusion. There are at least 6 NHE isoforms thus far identified with the NHE1 subtype representing the major one found in the mammalian myocardium. This 110-kDa glycoprotein extrudes protons concomitantly with Na(+) influx in a 1:1 stoichiometric relationship rendering the process electroneutral, and its activity is regulated by numerous factors, including phosphorylation-dependent processes. There is convincing evidence that NHE mediates tissue injury during ischemia and reperfusion, which probably reflects the fact that under conditions of tissue stress, including ischemia, Na(+)-K(+) ATPase is inhibited, thereby limiting Na(+) extrusion, resulting in an elevation in [Na(+)](i). The latter effect, in turn, will increase [Ca(2+)](i) via Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchange. In addition, NHE1 mRNA expression is elevated in response to injury, which may further contribute to the deleterious consequence of pathological insult. Extensive studies using NHE inhibitors have consistently shown protective effects against ischemic and reperfusion injury in a large variety of experimental models and has led to clinical evaluation of NHE inhibition in patients with coronary artery disease. Emerging evidence also implicates NHE1 in other cardiac disease states, and the exchanger may be particularly critical to postinfarction remodeling responses resulting in development of hypertrophy and heart failure.

Abstract
This study characterizes mitochondria isolated from livers of Sod2(-/+) and Sod2(+/+) mice. A 50% decrease in manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) activity was observed in mitochondria isolated from Sod2(-/+) mice compared with Sod2(+/+) mice, with no change in the activities of either glutathione peroxidase or copper/zinc superoxide dismutase. However, the level of total glutathione was 30% less in liver mitochondria of the Sod2(-/+) mice. The reduction in MnSOD activity in Sod2(-/+) mice was correlated to an increase in oxidative damage to mitochondria: decreased activities of the Fe-S proteins (aconitase and NADH oxidoreductase), increased carbonyl groups in proteins, and increased levels of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine in mitochondrial DNA. In contrast, there were no significant changes in oxidative damage in the cytosolic proteins or nuclear DNA. The increase in oxidative damage in mitochondria was correlated to altered mitochondrial function. A significant decrease in the respiratory control ratio was observed in mitochondria isolated from Sod2(-/+) mice compared with Sod2(+/+) mice for substrates metabolized by complexes I, II, and III. In addition, mitochondria isolated from Sod2(-/+) mice showed an increased rate of induction of the permeability transition. Therefore, this study provides direct evidence correlating reduced MnSOD activity in vivo to increased oxidative damage in mitochondria and alterations in mitochondrial function.

Abstract
First, we present a summary of the evidence for our model of the molecular mechanism of the permeability transition (MPT). Our proposal is that the MPT occurs as a result of the binding of mitochondrial cyclophilin (CyP-D) to the adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This binding is enhanced by thiol modification of the ANT caused by oxidative stress or other thiol reagents. CyP-D binding enhances the ability of the ANT to undergo a conformational change triggered by Ca2+. Binding of ADP or ATP to a matrix site of the ANT antagonises this effect of Ca2+; modification of other ANT thiol groups inhibits ADP binding and sensitises the MPT to [Ca2+]. Increased membrane potential changes the ANT conformation to enhance ATP binding and hence inhibit the MPT. Our most recent data shows that a fusion protein of CyP-D and glutathione-S-transferase immobilised to Sepharose specifically binds the ANT from Triton-solubilised inner mitochondrial membranes in a cyclosporin A (CsA) sensitive manner. Second we summarise the evidence for the MPT being a major factor in the transition from reversible to irreversible injury during reperfusion of a heart following a period of ischaemia. We describe how in the perfused heart [3H]deoxyglucose entrapment within mitochondria can be used to measure the opening of MPT pore in situ. During ischaemia pore opening does not occur, but significant opening does occur during reperfusion, and recovery of the heart is dependent on subsequent pore closure. Pore opening is inhibited by the presence in the perfusion medium of pyruvate and the anaesthetic propofol which both protect the heart from reperfusion injury. Third we discuss how the MPT may be involved in determining whether cell death occurs by necrosis (extensive pore opening and ATP depletion) or apoptosis (transient pore opening with maintenance of ATP).

Abstract
The contribution of cytosolic ion and energy milieu changes to ischemia/reperfusion injury was investigated in isolated guinea-pig hearts and mitochondria, with fluorometry and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The fura-2 Ca2+ signal during ischemia in the guinea-pig Langendorff heart changed triphasically (phases I, II, and III) and rapidly returned to the control level after the reperfusion. These triphasic changes during ischemia were affected by various agents that affect the cytosolic ion milieu: the combination of asebotoxin-III and dihydroouabain (which increase intracellular Na+) caused an increase in Ca2+ levels in the final stage (phase III) with a manifestation of contracture after the reperfusion of the heart. Inhibitors of the H+-Na+ exchange such as 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)-amiloride (EIPA) produced a significant restorative effect on the contractility of the reperfused heart with increased proton and decreased Na+ and Ca2+ in the cytosol. The mitochondrial matrix Ca2+ ([Ca2+]m) preloaded with abnormally high Ca2+ levels was markedly increased by perfusion with either a physiologic concentration of Ca2+ or an acidified perfusate. These [Ca2+]m increases were reduced by the H+-Na+ and H+-K+ exchange inhibitor (EIPA; omeprazole), respectively. These findings will help to explain the Ca paradox at the mitochondria level (i.e., mitochondria for Ca2+ pumping play an essential role in the cellular homeostasis of Ca2+ for the maintenance of cell functions of the heart, acting like a Ca2+ scavenger in the cytosol). Factors that induce Ca2+ overload on mitochondria via sarcolemmal Ca2+ influx and any exchange mechanisms with Na+, K+, Ca2+, and H+ will lead to a loss of contractility, associated with the extremely reduced level of free energy change predicted from the reduced ATP x PCr/Pi ratio by 31P NMR.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride (EIPA) on infarction in isolated rabbit hearts and cardiomyocytes. Thirty min of regional ischemia caused 29.6 +/- 2.8% of the risk zone to infarct in untreated Krebs buffer-perfused hearts. Treatment with EIPA (1 microM) for 20 min starting either 15 min before ischemia or 15 min after the onset of ischemia significantly reduced infarction to 5.4 +/- 2.0% and 7.0 +/- 1.0%, respectively (p < 0.01 versus untreated hearts). In both cases salvage was very similar to that seen with ischemic preconditioning (PC) (7.1 +/- 1.5% infarction). Unlike the case with ischemic preconditioning, however, protection from EIPA was not blocked by 50 microM polymyxin B, a PKC inhibitor, or 1 microM glibenclamide, a KATP channel blocker. Forty-five min of regional ischemia caused 51.0 +/- 2.9% infarction in untreated hearts. Ischemic preconditioning reduced infarction to 23.4 +/- 3.1% (p < 0.001 versus untreated hearts). In these hearts with longer periods of ischemia pretreatment with EIPA reduced infarction similarly to 28.8 +/- 2.1% (p < 0.01 versus untreated hearts). However, when EIPA was combined with ischemic PC, no further reduction in infarction was seen (23.8 +/- 3.5% infarction). To further elucidate the mechanism of EIPA's cardioprotective effect, this agent was also examined in isolated rabbit cardiomyocytes. Preconditioning caused a delay of about 30 min in the progressive increase in osmotic fragility that occurs during simulated ischemia. In contrast, EIPA had no effect on the time course of ischemia-induced osmotic fragility. Furthermore, EIPA treatment did not alter the salutary effect of ischemic preconditioning when the two were combined in this model. We conclude that Na+/H+ exchange inhibition limits myocardial infarction in the isolated rabbit heart by a mechanism which is quite different from that of ischemic preconditioning. Despite the apparently divergent mechanisms, EIPA's cardioprotective effect could not be added to that of ischemic or metabolic preconditioning in these models.

Abstract
The inhibition of Na(+)-H+ exchange (NHE) with amiloride analogues in vitro has been shown to prevent reperfusion arrhythmias and additional cell necrosis. Inhibition of intracellular Ca2+ overload via NHE inhibition has been suggested as a mechanism of these protective effects. The aim of this study was to examine whether treatment with amiloride analogues reduces the incidence of reperfusion arrhythmias and limits infarct size in vivo. Open-chest swine were exposed to a 30-minute left anterior descending artery (LAD) occlusion and 180 minutes of reperfusion during atrial pacing at 150 ppm. Intravenous 5-(N,N-dimethyl)-amiloride (AML, 5 micrograms/kg per min) was administered in the treatment group (n = 7) and intravenous saline in the control group (n = 7), starting 10 minutes before coronary occlusion. The infusion was continued during ischemia and reperfusion. The area at risk was defined by monastral blue dye and infarct size by triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. Limb leads ECG and monophasic action potentials (MAPs) from the epicardium in the ischemic area were recorded. There was no significant difference in the size of the area at risk and hemodynamic parameters between the groups. However, the infarcted area was 0.4% +/- 1.0% of the area at risk in the treatment group, whereas it was 62% +/- 29% in the control group (P < 0.05). Pathological examination (Hematoxylin-eosin and Mallory's phosphotungstic acid-hematoxylin staining) revealed that all of the infarcted area consisted of contraction band necrosis. MAP duration in both groups was significantly shortened during ischemia. After reperfusion, MAP duration in the treatment group recovered earlier than that of control group. However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of ventricular tachyarrhythmia between the groups. Inhibition of NHE with AML prevented reperfusion related cell necrosis in the in vivo swine model, but did not reduce the incidence of ventricular tachyarrhythmia.

Abstract
We investigated the potential role of the Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) during global low-flow ischemia. Isolated working rat hearts were subjected to a low-flow ischemic period of 30 or 60 min at 37 degrees C and then reperfused for 30 min. Under those conditions, the effects of two NHE inhibitors 3-methylsulphonyl-4-piperidinobenzoyl guanidine methanesulphonate (HOE-694, 1 microM) and 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl) amiloride (EIPA, 1 microM), were compared. When added to the perfusion fluid 15 min before induction of ischemia, EIPA partially preserved aortic output (AO) during either a 30- or 60-min low-flow period. A lesser effect, which was not statistically significant, was observed with HOE-694. Therefore, after 30-min ischemia, AO was 18.7 +/- 2.7, 31.4 +/- 3.3% (p < 0.05 vs. control group) and 25.8 +/- 3.2% of the preischemic value in control and EIPA- and HOE-694-treated groups, respectively. Similarly, after 60-min low-flow ischemia, AO was 15.7 +/- 1.8, 32.7 +/- 4.2% (p < 0.05 vs. control group) and 23.3 +/- 5.6% in control and EIPA- and HOE-694-treated groups, respectively. When EIPA and HOE-694 were added to the perfusion solution during the 60-min ischemic period, i.e., at 15 min of low-flow ischemia, AO was maintained at 38.9 +/- 4.9 and 30.2 +/- 2.4% (vs. 15.7 +/- 1.8% in the controls) in HOE-694- and EIPA-treated groups, respectively. EIPA but not HOE-694 also significantly (p < 0.05) improved the AO recovery during reperfusion. When administered later during ischemia, EIPA but not HOE-694 caused some recovery of AO during the remainder of the ischemic period but did not aid recovery during reperfusion. Our data suggest that although inhibition of NHE may be of some benefit during low-flow ischemia, additional effects may be necessary to provide a more efficient cardioprotection. An additional action, e.g., inhibition of the Na+/HCO3- cotransporter, could explain the superior effect of EIPA with respect to HOE-694.

Abstract
With 2 microM methylisobutyl amiloride (MIA), an inhibitor of Na+/H+ exchange, we tested the hypothesis that ion imbalance due to H+/Na+/Ca2+ exchange exacerbates reperfusion injury and arrhythmias. Isolated rat hearts were subjected to 25-min global ischemia and 30-min reperfusion. In the MIA-treated group, MIA was added throughout the perfusion protocol. Left ventricular pressure (LVP), arrhythmias, myocardial Na+ and K+ content, 45Ca2+ uptake, and the levels of energy metabolites were analyzed. The recovery of LV developed pressure (LVDP) and +dP/dt and -dP/dt were improved in the MIA group (53 vs. 80, 71 vs. 86, 77 vs. 94%: each p < 0.05). MIA inhibited the increase in Na+ content and the decrease in K+ content that occurred at the end of the ischemic phase and reduced 45Ca2+ uptake after reperfusion (28.6 vs. 17.1, 248 vs. 296, 2.79 vs. 1.36 microM/g dry weight of tissue; each p < 0.05). The incidence of ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) was lower in the MIA group [VT 11 of 20 (55%) vs. 4 of 20 (20%), p < 0.05; VF 13 of 20, (65%) vs. 6 of 20 (30%), 0.05 < p < 0.1], although the incidence of VF just escaped statistical significance. ATP level was higher in the MIA group after the ischemic phase and reperfusion (5.3 vs. 9.9, 12.3 vs. 14.7 microM/g dry weight of tissue; each p < 0.05). Our results suggest that MIA reduced reperfusion arrhythmias and improved functional recovery in isolated rat hearts subjected to global ischemia apparently by preserving high-energy phosphates during ischemia and by inhibiting Na+/H+ exchange, with attenuated cellular imbalance between Na+ and Ca2+.

Abstract
Inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange with amiloride analogues has been shown to offer functional protection during ischemia and reperfusion and reduce infarct size in isolated rat hearts and intact pigs. The aim of the present study was to examine if pre- or postischemic treatment with ethylisopropylamiloride (EIPA), a selective Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor, could reduce infarct size in an in situ rabbit model of regional ischemia and reperfusion. Anesthetized, open-chest rabbits were subjected to 30 min of regional ischemia and 180 min of reperfusion. The risk zone was determined by fluorescent particles, and infarct size was determined by TTC staining. Preischemic treatment with EIPA (0.65 mg/kg) significantly reduced infarct size from 45.8 +/- 3.5% of the risk zone in the control group to 10.6 +/- 3.1% (p < 0.01). EIPA-treatment during the first part of the reperfusion period did not reduce infarct size compared to controls (41.9 +/- 3.5%). We conclude that EIPA, when administered prior to ischemia, reduces infarct size in the rabbit heart of in situ, a protection most likely due to inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of amiloride, a Na(+)-H+ exchange blocker, on ventricular remodeling in an infarcted rat model. In the amiloride group, the left descending coronary artery was ligated and rats were given amiloride (1 mg/kg/day, n = 11) in their drinking water for 4 weeks. In the control group, rats were given water for 4 weeks (n = 8) after myocardial infarction. The rats were killed on day 28. Both the ratio of heart weight to body weight and that of left ventricular weight to body weight were significantly less in the amiloride group (p < 0.05). The diameter of a myocardial fiber in the region adjacent to the operated area was significantly reduced in the amiloride group compared with the control group (p < 0.05). Left ventricular cavity dimension was significantly smaller in the amiloride group than that in control group (p < 0.05). Our findings suggest that amiloride prevents ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Studies from our laboratory have shown that short-term ethanol exposure inhibits epidermal growth factor-dependent replication of cultured fetal rat hepatocytes, along with a drop in ATP level, and that these effects could be caused, at least in part, by ethanol-induced oxidative stress. In these prior studies, mitochondrial morphology was abnormal and membrane lipid peroxidation products were increased, along with reduced transmembrane potential and enhanced permeability to sucrose. To define the effects of ethanol on mitochondrial function further, the present study examines the impact of ethanol exposure on mitochondrial electron transport chain components. A 24-hr exposure of cultured fetal rat hepatocytes to ethanol (2.5 mg/ml) reduced mitochondrial complex I activity by 16% (p < 0.05), complex IV by 28% (p < 0.05), and succinate dehydrogenase by 23% (p < 0.05). This reduction was paralleled by lower ADP translocase activity (24%, p < 0.05) and diminished mitochondrial glutathione (GSH) (20%, p < 0.05). Pretreatment with 0.1 mM S-adenosyl methionine, before ethanol exposure, normalized mitochondrial GSH along with activities of complex I, complex IV, and succinate dehydrogenase. A 3-hr exposure of isolated mitochondria (which do not metabolize ethanol) to ethanol (2.5 mg/ml), inhibited the activities of complex I (19%, p < 0.05), complex IV (24%, p < 0.05), and of ATP synthesis (20%, p < 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The characterization of various ion transport systems has led to a better understanding of the effects, which seem to take part in the impairment of ischemic and reperfused cardiac tissue. This review discusses the role of the Na+/H+ exchange system in the pathophysiology of ischemia and reperfusion and the beneficial effects of its inhibition. At the onset of ischemia intracellular pH (pHi) decreases due to anaerobic metabolism and ATP hydrolysis, leading to an activation of Na+/H+ exchange. This in turn increases intracellular Na+ (Na+i) and activates Na+/K+ ATPase, with a consecutive increase of energy consumption. Since cellular Na+ and Ca++ transport are coupled by the Na+/Ca++ exchange system, which depends on the Na+ gradient, the high Na+i leads to increased intracellular Ca++ (Ca++i). After a certain period, Na+/H+ exchange is inactivated by a decrease of extracellular pH. In case of reperfusion the acid extracellular fluid is washed out, which reactivates Na+/H+ exchange, leading to an unfavourably fast restoration of pHi and a second time to Na+ and Ca++i overflow. High Ca++i is assumed to be one of the main reasons for ischemic and reperfusion injury, like arrhythmias, myocardial contracture, stunning and necrosis. It seems that the inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange can interrupt this process at an early phase and prevent or delay the consequences of ischemia and reperfusion as demonstrated by numerous investigators.

Abstract
The roles of the Na+/H+ exchange system in the development and cessation of reperfusion induced ventricular arrhythmias were studied in the isolated perfused rat heart. The hearts were perfused in the working heart mode with modified Krebs Henseleit bicarbonate (KHB) buffer and whole heart ischemia was induced by a one-way ball valve with 330 beat/min pacing. Ischemia was continued for 15 min followed by 20 min of aerobic reperfusion (control). Amiloride (1.0 mM), an inhibitor of the Na+/H+ exchange system, was added to the KHB buffer only during reperfusion (group B) or only during ischemic periods (group C). Electrocardiographic and hemodynamic parameters were monitored throughout the perfusion. Coronary effluent was collected through pulmonary artery cannulation and PO2, PCO2, HCO3- and pH were measured by blood-gas analyzer. The incidence of reperfusion induced ventricular arrhythmias was 100%, 100% and 0% in control, group B and group C, respectively. The mean onset time of termination of reperfusion arrhythmias was significantly shorter in group B than in control. PCO2 increased from 39.0 +/- 0.9 to 89.3 +/- 6.0 mmHg at the end of ischemia in control and from 40.6 +/- 0.4 to 60.5 +/- 5.8 in group C, the difference between groups was statistically significant. HCO3- level decreased from 21.8 +/- 0.1 to 18.3 +/- 0.5 mmol/l in control, however, this decrease was significantly inhibited in group C (from 22.0 +/- 0.5 to 20.3 +/- 0.2). The increase in PCO2 and the decrease in HCO3- in group B were similar over time to those observed in control.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
1. By use of pharmacological approaches, the present study examined the hypothesis that the deleterious effect of lactate on postischaemic ventricular recovery may be mediated, at least in part, by enhanced activation of the Na+/H+ exchanger at the time of reperfusion. 2. Spontaneously beating isolated hearts of the rat were subjected to 15 min zero-flow global ischaemia followed by 30 min reperfusion. The effects of lactate (10, 20 or 40 mM) were studied by adding it 20 min before ischaemia whereas reperfusion was carried out with lactate-free buffer. 3. Pretreatment with 20 or 40 mM lactate significantly reduced postischaemic recovery of developed force to 17 +/- 3% and 16 +/- 4% of preischaemic values (P < 0.05) compared to a 78 +/- 4% recovery in control hearts. Similarly, recovery in ventricular rate was significantly reduced to 34 +/- 7.6% and 38 +/- 12% with 20 and 40 mM lactate, respectively compared to 97.5 +/- 6.4% recovery in control hearts. At a concentration of 10 mM, lactate was without effect on either force or ventricular rate recovery. 4. Coadministration of either of two Na+/H+ exchange inhibitors, amiloride (174 microM) or 5-N,N-hexamethylene amiloride (HMA, 1 microM) with lactate and inclusion of the two drugs during the first 5 min of reperfusion resulted in reversal of lactate-induced inhibition of force recovery with observed recoveries of 69 +/- 6.7% and 64 +/- 5% with amiloride and HMA, respectively. Similarly, recovery in ventricular rate was significantly enhanced to 92 +/- 10% and 89 +/- 6% with amiloride and HMA, respectively compared to 38 +/- 12% recovery in control hearts. In the presence of amiloride or HMA, force recovery in lactate-treated hearts was significantly increased to 68 +/- 16% and 72 +/- 4.7% of preischaemic values, respectively.6. In spontaneously beating hearts, resting tension changes during both ischaemia and reperfusion were not statistically different between treatment groups. However, in paced hearts pretreated with 40 mM lactate the elevation in resting tension during the first 5 min of reperfusion, was significantly reduced by both amiloride and HMA.7. Changes in functional recoveries produced by either lactate or Na+/H+ exchange inhibitors were unrelated to alterations in high energy phosphate depletion during ischaemia or to repletion of these compounds after 30 min reperfusion either in spontaneously beating or electrically paced hearts.8. The results suggest that stimulated Na'/H+ exchange activation at reflow contributes, at leastpartially, to lactate-induced depression of postischaemic recovery.
