title: [Effect of pretreatment with isoprenaline on functional and metabolic characteristics of isolated rat heart].
abstract: Mechanical performance and tissue content of high-energy phosphates were studied in working rat hearts, isolated from normal rats, or from daily subcutaneously injected with isoproterenol for one day or seven days (5 mg/kg b.w.) and atrially perfused. Isoproterenol pretreatment led to a significant decrease in myocardial content of ATP, ADP. After 75-min perfusion, the content of ATP, ADP, AMP and CP was significantly lower in pretreated hearts than in untreated. On the other hand, isoproterenol-treated hearts exhibited higher aortic pressure, oxygen consumption, left ventricular systolic pressure and d (L.V.P.) max/dt and heart work. It is suggested from these findings that isoproterenol pretreatment of rats improve cardiac work and decrease efficiency in ISO.24 h group and improve cardiac work and efficiency in ISO.7 days group.
