Biphasic changes in phospholipid hydroperoxide levels during renal ischemia/reperfusion.
|
| Abstract |
The involvement of lipid peroxidation in renal ischemia/reperfusion was explored by measuring changes in the cortical content of specific primary lipid hydroperoxides (using chemluminescent detection with HPLC) following ischemia and reperfusion and by correlating the changes in hydroperoxide content with measurements of renal blood flow. Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine hydroperoxide concentrations were significantly lowered during 30 or 60 min of ischemia (to levels less than 50% of control at 60 min). Following 30 min of renal ischemia, reperfusion resulted in a rebound of phospholipid hydroperoxide tissue content to levels higher than controls. Increased phospholipid hydroperoxide formation was not, however, observed in response to reperfusion following long-term (60 min) ischemia. In separate animals it was demonstrated that following 30 min ischemia and reperfusion, renal blood flow recovers to about 65% of control in 1 h. In contrast, following 60 min ischemia and reperfusion, the renal blood flow remains more highly impaired (less than 25% recovery for periods up to 24 h). These results imply that phospholipid hydroperoxides are produced and accumulate in the kidneys under normal aerobic conditions and that lipid peroxidative activity increases during renal ischemia/reperfusion to an extent dependent on the degree of local blood perfusion.
