title: Relation between enzyme release and metabolic changes in reversible anoxic injury of myocardial cells.
abstract: Cultured adult cardiac myocytes were exposed to anoxia under substrate-free conditions. When compared to the metabolic changes in the oxygen deficient organ, those in the anoxic cell culture proceed in a similar, yet prolonged manner. Release of cytosolic enzymes starts with minor energetic disturbances and proceeds in close correlation to the actual ATP decay. Below 2 mumol ATP/gww, an increasing number of cells becomes irreversibly damaged, but above, 30 min reoxygenation leads to extensive recovery of the whole preparation. The results indicate that leakage of cytosolic enzymes during the early stage of anoxia is due to a gradual protein release from the individual cells, related to reversible membrane alterations.
