Abstract
Rabbit hearts were preconditioned with four 5 min coronary artery occlusions 24 h before 30 min coronary occlusion with 120 min reperfusion. Preconditioning significantly reduced the percentage of myocardium infarcting within the risk zone from 49.1 +/- 4.3% to 31.8 +/- 3.5% (P < 0.05). When the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, chelerythrine, was administered just before preconditioning, the delayed protection against infarction 24 h later was abolished. We conclude that the delayed cytoprotective response associated with ischaemic preconditioning of myocardium is likely to involve the early activation of one or more PKC subtypes.Entities:
