The influence of dietary n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on heart pump function and mitochondrial energy metabolism was investigated before and after ischemia. Weanling male Wistar rats were fed for 8 weeks a diet containing either 10% of sunflower seed oil (SSO group) or 10% of a 1:1

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the oxidative capacities and the rate of energy synthesis in isolated mitochondria extracted from normal and post-ischemic myocardium. Isolated rat hearts were perfused according to the working mode with a Krebs Heinseleit buffer containing glucose (11 mM),

Long-chain fatty acid uptake, which provides a large part of myocardial energy, is impaired in human and murine hearts deficient in the membrane fatty acid translocase, FAT/CD36. We examined myocardial function in CD36-null mice using the working heart. Fatty acid oxidation and stores of glycogen,

S-Nitrosated human serum albumin (SNO-HSA) is a large molecular weight nitric oxide carrier in human plasma, and because of its many beneficial effects in different tests, it is currently under investigation as a cytoprotective agent. However, making SNO-HSA preparations is a complicated and
