Abstract: | The relationship between the rate of generation of superoxide radicals and the duration of hypoxia has been studied in isolated heart mitochondria with the use of the spin trap sodium 4,5dihydroxybenzene-1,3-disulfonate. The EPR spectra were recorded from a mitochondrial suspension placed in a gas-permeable capillary under conditions of regulated partial oxygen pressure. Earlier we have shown that the mitochondria isolated from perfused hearts after 30-min ischemia display a higher rate of superoxide generation than those from controls. However, in isolated mitochondria the EPR signal from 4,5-dihydroxybenzene-1,3-disulfonate increased already after 10-min hypoxia, but its intensity remained the same in the mitochondria subjected to 30-, 45-, and 60-min hypoxia. Thus, the isolated mitochondria in the incubation medium are less sensitive to hypoxia than the mitochondria from cardiomyocytes of an ischemic heart. |
