Microdialysis technique for in-vivo monitoring of •OH generation on myocardial injury in the rat
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The micro dialysis procedure is a technique that has been established for some years. Although free radical reaction is a part of normal metabolism, sustained elevation of noradrenaline (NA) in the extracellular fluid can be autoxidized, which in turn leads (possibly by an in direct mechanism) to the formation of cytotoxic free radicals. Reactive oxygen causes excessive Na+ entry through the fast Ca2+ channel, leading to intracellular Ca2+ overload through the Na+-Ca2+ exchange system. However, the interaction between intracellular Ca2+ overload and oxygen free radicals in myocardium is not clear. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor is associated with cardioprotective effect due to suppression of NA-induced hydroxyl radical (•OH) generation in the heart. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation may be related to NA induced •OH generation. Although the neuroprotective effects of nitric oxide (NO) is discussed, NO contributes to the extracellular potassium concentration ([K+]o)-induced •OH generation via NO synthase (NOS) activation. Opening of ATP sensitive K+ channel (KATP) channel may cause •OH generation. These finding may be useful in elucidating the actual mechanism of free radical formation in the pathogenesis of heart disorders.
