Acidic HEPES-KH reperfusion enhances myocardial protection in immature rabbits.

Abstract
To study the effects of different pH HEPES-KH reperfusate solution on immature myocardial protection, isolated perfused Langendorff model from immature rabbit hearts were developed formed. Control group (C) was perfused only with pH 7.4 HEPES-KH solution for 90 min. Ischemia/reperfusion group (group I/R) was perfused with pH 7.4 HEPES-KH solution before ischemia or after ischemia. Experimental group (group E), after ischemia, was perfused with pH 6.8, pH 7.1 and pH 7.4 HEPES-KH solutions for 5 min, 5 min, and 20 min, respectively. The left ventricular function recovery, MWC, LDH and CK leakage, MDA, ATP content, and SOD activity were determined. Our results showed that the left ventricular function recovery, ATP content and SOD activity in group E were higher than those of group I/R (P < 0.05). MWC, MDA content, LDH and CK leakage in group E were lower than those of group I/R (P < 0.05). These findings suggested that pH paradox might be one of important mechanisms for immature myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and acidic perfusate, at the beginning of reperfusion, might attenuate pH paradox and ameliorate functional recovery in isolated perfused immature rabbit hearts.
