Polymorphonuclear neutrophils are known to be activated during myocardial ischaemia causing release of free oxygen radicals and capillary plugging by cell aggregates and therefore to exacerbate ischaemic myocardial injury. Nitric oxide has been shown to modulate neutrophil activation within the ischaemic myocardium and therefore reduce myocardial injury during ischaemia. Drugs that act as nitric oxide donors may therefore modify neutrophil activation. We evaluated the effect of intravenous treatment with isosorbide dinitrate on neutrophil aggregation and plasma-mediated stimulation of neutrophil superoxide anion production in patients with ischaemic heart disease. Samples were obtained from patients before treatment and 15 and 30 min after receiving intravenous isosorbide dinitrate. Isosorbide dinitrate decreased neutrophil aggregation visualized in whole blood (25.3 +/- 3.6, 19.0 +/- 2.6 and 18.5 +/- 2.6 per 300 cells, respectively, P < 0.01). When patient's plasma was incubated with neutrophils obtained from healthy donors, superoxide anion release was 18.99 +/- 6.23, 11.38 +/- 2.79 and 11.49 +/- 3.15 nmol O2-/10(6) cells, respectively (P < 0.01). Therefore, intravenous isosorbide dinitrate inhibited both plasma-mediated stimulation of neutrophil superoxide anion production and neutrophil aggregation.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D000368 Aged A person 65 years of age or older. For a person older than 79 years, AGED, 80 AND OVER is available. Elderly
D013481 Superoxides Highly reactive compounds produced when oxygen is reduced by a single electron. In biological systems, they may be generated during the normal catalytic function of a number of enzymes and during the oxidation of hemoglobin to METHEMOGLOBIN. In living organisms, SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE protects the cell from the deleterious effects of superoxides. Superoxide Radical,Superoxide,Superoxide Anion
D017202 Myocardial Ischemia A disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. The decreased blood flow may be due to narrowing of the coronary arteries (CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE), to obstruction by a thrombus (CORONARY THROMBOSIS), or less commonly, to diffuse narrowing of arterioles and other small vessels within the heart. Severe interruption of the blood supply to the myocardial tissue may result in necrosis of cardiac muscle (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION).
