摘要

Global ischemia (45 min) followed by reperfusion (30 min) was modeled in isolated hearts from male Wistar rats. A selective μ2-opioid receptor agonist endomorphin-1 (152 nmol/liter) was added to the perfusate at the onset of reperfusion. Myocardial levels of inositol triphosphate and diacylglycerol were measured. It was found that endomorphin-1 improved cardiac contractility parameters during reperfusion. Furthermore, perfusion with a solution containing endomorphin-1 increased myocardial inositol triphosphate and diacylglycerol concentrations by 4.1 and 6 times, respectively. Hence, stimulation of cardiac μ2-opioid receptors increases cardiac tolerance to reperfusion injury.
