Abstract
Oxygen-derived free radicals have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiac dysfunction during ischemia, postischemic myocardial "stunning," and reperfusion injury. We investigated the effects of oxygen-derived free radicals on cardiac function in intact isolated rabbit hearts and single guinea pig ventricular myocytes. In the intact rabbit ventricle, exposure to free radical-generating systems caused increased cellular K+ efflux, shortening of the action potential duration, changes in tension, and depletion of high energy phosphates similar to ischemia and metabolic inhibition. In patch-clamped single ventricular myocytes, free radical-generating systems activated ATP-sensitive K+ channels, decreased the calcium current, and caused cell shortening by irreversibly inhibiting glycolytic and oxidative metabolism. The results suggest that free radicals generated during ischemia and reperfusion may contribute to electrophysiologic abnormalities and contractile dysfunction by inhibiting glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. Inhibition of metabolism by free radicals may be an important factor limiting functional recovery from an ischemic insult after reestablishment of effective blood flow.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
