title: [Effect of stimulation of mu-opiate receptors on contractility of the isolated heart in normal oxygenation and during ischemia-reperfusion].
abstract: Activation of mu-opioid receptor (OR) in rats prevented development of reperfusion-induced myocardial cell damage. In contrast, direct cardiac mu-OR stimulation with the opioid receptor agonist DAMGO decreased cardiac contractility in normal oxygenation and aggravated the reperfusion-induced myocardial cell damage. The findings suggest that the cardioprotective effect of mu-OR stimulation is not mediated via cardiac mu-OR activation.
