Effect of NAD on recovery of adenine nucleotide pool, phosphorylation potential, and stimulation of apoptosis during late period of reperfusion damage to myocardium.

摘要

The system of energy supply in the myocardium of the left and right ventricles did not recover after short-term circulatory disturbances. ATP synthesis decreased in parallel with activation of poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase in the ischemic region of the right ventricle, extra-ischemic region, and in the left ventricle by 5.85, 5.4, and 2.2 times, respectively. Intravenous injection of NAD immediately after blood flow resumption in the subacute period of ischemia-reperfusion damage virtually completely normalized the pool of adenine nucleotides, energy change of the adenine nucleotide system, and phosphorylation potential. Exogenous NAD inhibited activity of poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase in the ischemic region of the right ventricle, extra-ischemic region, and in the ischemic region of the left ventricle by 2.4, 2.9, and 1.52 times, respectively. We hypothesize that NAD acts as a regulator of signal mechanism of apoptosis induction during ischemia-reperfusion damages to the myocardium.
