title: 5-hydroxydecanoate selectively reduces the initial increase in extracellular K+ in ischemic guinea-pig heart.
abstract: The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) on extracellular K+ levels during global ischemia for 30 min employing K+-sensitive electrodes in isolated guinea-pig hearts. 5-HD (100 microM) reduced the K+ accumulation during the early period of ischemia, but did not inhibit the elevation of extracellular K+ in the latter half of the ischemic period which was selectively enhanced by ouabain (3 microM). Thus, 5-HD appears to exert a similar mode of action as glibenclamide on extracellular K+ accumulation in the ischemic guinea-pig hearts. The present study also strengthens the previous conclusion that an ATP-sensitive K+ channel contributes only to the initial increasing phase of extracellular K+ accumulation during ischemia in guinea-pig hearts.
