To determine the effect of magnesium on myocardial function and oxidative metabolism after reperfusion, isolated rat hearts perfused retrogradely with erythrocyte-enriched medium (0.4 mM palmitate bound to 0.4 mM albumin, 11 mM glucose) were subjected to 60 minutes of no-flow ischemia followed by 60 minutes of reperfusion. Untreated postischemic hearts exhibited after 15 minutes of reperfusion recovery of myocardial oxygen consumption to 65% of the preischemic value despite persistent depression of left ventricular isovolumic pressure development to 21%. Magnesium (15 mM) administered during the initial 30 minutes of reperfusion reduced myocardial oxygen consumption of reperfuse myocardium by 35%. Oxidation of [1-14C]palmitate was slightly more reduced (-55%) than oxidation of [U-14C]glucose (-42%). Magnesium did not influence ultimate recovery of contractile function and cumulative myocardial release of creatine kinase. Thus, 15 mM magnesium administered during reperfusion elicited a reduction of oxidative metabolism. However, magnesium did not modify myocardial injury.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008274 Magnesium A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
D008297 Male Males
D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow. Muscle, Cardiac,Muscle, Heart,Cardiac Muscle,Myocardia,Cardiac Muscles,Heart Muscle,Heart Muscles,Muscles, Cardiac,Muscles, Heart
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010101 Oxygen Consumption The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body.

D010168 Palmitates Salts and esters of the 16-carbon saturated monocarboxylic acid--palmitic acid. Hexadecanoates,Palmitate
D005947 Glucose A primary source of energy for living organisms. It is naturally occurring and is found in fruits and other parts of plants in its free state. It is used therapeutically in fluid and nutrient replacement.

D006321 Heart The hollow, muscular organ that maintains the circulation of the blood. Hearts
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.

D015425 Myocardial Reperfusion Generally, restoration of blood supply to heart tissue which is ischemic due to decrease in normal blood supply. The decrease may result from any source including atherosclerotic obstruction, narrowing of the artery, or surgical clamping. Reperfusion can be induced to treat ischemia. Methods include chemical dissolution of an occluding thrombus, administration of vasodilator drugs, angioplasty, catheterization, and artery bypass graft surgery. However, it is thought that reperfusion can itself further damage the ischemic tissue, causing MYOCARDIAL REPERFUSION INJURY.
