Oxygen reactive species play a significant role in reperfusion tissue damages. In this study we aimed to investigate the mechanisms of injury regarding changes of neutrophil function. In our experiments the left descending coronary artery (LAD) was ligated in Beagle dogs for 1 hour followed by one hour reperfusion. Animals were divided into two groups: Group I. dogs (n = 10) served as control: Group II. the animals (n = 10) were treated by cardioprotective drug Bisaramil. Peripheral blood samples were taken for neutrophil isolation before operation and subsequent reperfusion (5 min, 1 hour). The stimulated superoxide radical generating capacity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) was measured. The lipid peroxidation (MDA), amount of reduced glutathione (GSH) and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured in non-ischemic and ischemic parts of left ventricle. There was no significant changes either in control or in treated animals in respect to changes of neutrophil radical production after one hour LAD ligature, however there was a significant discrepancy (p < 0.001) between control and treated animals following a 1 hour reperfusion. The values of MDA in the ischemic-area increased characteristically in the Group I. parallel with decrease of scavenger GSH and SOD. In contrast in Group II., where depleted PMN radical production was observed endogenous scavengers were preserved on a higher level. In summary we can conclude that diminished superoxide radical production of circulating neutrophils during reperfusion has beneficial effects on tissue injury caused especially by free radicals.

D002722 Chlorobenzenes Aromatic organic compounds with the chemical formula C6H5Cln.
D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
D005978 Glutathione A tripeptide with many roles in cells. It conjugates to drugs to make them more soluble for excretion, is a cofactor for some enzymes, is involved in protein disulfide bond rearrangement and reduces peroxides.

D006321 Heart The hollow, muscular organ that maintains the circulation of the blood. Hearts
D006352 Heart Ventricles The lower right and left chambers of the heart. The right ventricle pumps venous BLOOD into the LUNGS and the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic arterial circulation.

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.

D000889 Anti-Arrhythmia Agents Agents used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. They may affect the polarization-repolarization phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibers. Anti-arrhythmia agents are often classed into four main groups according to their mechanism of action: sodium channel blockade, beta-adrenergic blockade, repolarization prolongation, or calcium channel blockade.

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
