We studied the impact of perfusate buffer composition on the relative degree of protection afforded by Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) inhibition during ischemia as opposed to during reperfusion. Isolated rat hearts were perfused with bicarbonate- or HEPES-buffered medium. There was infusion of HOE 694 immediately before ischemia, during initial reperfusion, or during both of these periods. With bicarbonate-buffered medium, HOE 694 improved the post-ischemic recovery of left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) when given before ischemia and before ischemia plus during reperfusion. In the presence of HEPES-buffered medium, however, HOE 694 significantly improved recovery of LVDP in all protocols. HOE 694 also provided an almost complete recovery of LVDP (88 +/- 9% vs 30 +/- 7% in controls) when given before ischemia plus during reperfusion. In conclusion, our results suggest that the influence of NHE activity during reperfusion on the extent of functional recovery is modulated significantly by perfusate buffer composition.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002021	Buffers	A chemical system that functions to control the levels of specific ions in solution. When the level of hydrogen ion in solution is controlled the system is called a pH buffer.	Buffer
D006146	Guanidines	A family of iminourea derivatives. The parent compound has been isolated from mushrooms, corn germ, rice hulls, mussels, earthworms, and turnip juice. Derivatives may have antiviral and antifungal properties.
D006531	HEPES	A dipolar ionic buffer.	N-2-Hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2'-ethanesulfonic Acid,HEPES Monosodium Salt,Monosodium Salt, HEPES,N 2 Hydroxyethylpiperazine N' 2' ethanesulfonic Acid,Salt, HEPES Monosodium
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013450	Sulfones		Sulfone
D015428	Myocardial Reperfusion Injury	Damage to the MYOCARDIUM resulting from MYOCARDIAL REPERFUSION (restoration of blood flow to ischemic areas of the HEART.) Reperfusion takes place when there is spontaneous thrombolysis, THROMBOLYTIC THERAPY, collateral flow from other coronary vascular beds, or reversal of vasospasm.

D017725	Ventricular Pressure	The pressure within a CARDIAC VENTRICLE. Ventricular pressure waveforms can be measured in the beating heart by catheterization or estimated using imaging techniques (e.g., DOPPLER ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY). The information is useful in evaluating the function of the MYOCARDIUM; CARDIAC VALVES; and PERICARDIUM, particularly with simultaneous measurement of other (e.g., aortic or atrial) pressures.

D017923	Sodium-Hydrogen Exchangers	A family of plasma membrane exchange glycoprotein antiporters that transport sodium ions and protons across lipid bilayers. They have critical functions in intracellular pH regulation, cell volume regulation, and cellular response to many different hormones and mitogens.
