title: Effect of myocardial ischaemia and antilipolytic agents on lipolysis and fatty acid metabolism in the in situ dog heart.
abstract: Myocardial metabolism was studied in open-chest dogs before and during induction of myocardial ischaemia by coronary artery occlusion. Blood was sampled from a local coronary vein draining ischaemic tissue and from coronary sinus draining predominantly nonischaemic tissue. In the basal state, induction of myocardial ischaemia stimulated myocardial lipolysis as shown by release of glycerol from the ischaemic zone. During isoprenaline infusion, free fatty acids (FFA) extraction across the ischaemic myocardium was substantially increased, but no glycerol release occurred. Pretreatment with nicotinic acid or sodium salicylate markedly depressed FFA extraction across ischaemic myocardium, both during basal and isoprenaline stimulated lipolysis and nicotinic acid most likely inhibited lipolysis in the ischaemic zone. Thus, reduced severity of acute ischaemic injury by antilipolytic treatment might be due to a combination of inhibited myocardial lipolysis and reduced FFA extraction.
