Myocardial tissue free fatty acids.

T Victor, C la Cock, A Lochner

    Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology
    |August 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study investigates how elevated free fatty acids (FFA) impact mitochondrial function during myocardial ischemia. Results suggest lysosomal involvement in increasing FFA, contributing to mitochondrial dysfunction in heart ischemia.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Cardiology
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Myocardial ischemia depresses mitochondrial function and increases tissue free fatty acids (FFA).
    • In vitro studies show FFA affects mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, but in vivo causation in ischemia is unclear.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between tissue FFA and mitochondrial function in myocardial ischemia.
    • To explore controlling factors and sources of tissue FFA during ischemia.
    • To validate the Dole FFA extraction technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolated perfused rat heart model.
    • Perfusion with substrate-free Ringer, phosphatidylcholine, long-chain fatty acids, albumin, glucose, insulin, and propranolol.
    • Assessment of tissue FFA levels and mitochondrial function.

    Main Results:

    • Tissue FFA levels were significantly elevated by substrate-free Ringer and phosphatidylcholine perfusion.
    • Perfusion with long-chain fatty acids led to extracellular FFA accumulation.
    • Albumin, glucose, insulin, and propranolol reduced tissue FFA levels.
    • Lysosomal involvement is suggested as a cause for increased tissue FFA in myocardial ischemia.

    Conclusions:

    • Increased tissue FFA levels are linked to depressed mitochondrial function in myocardial ischemia.
    • Lysosomal pathways may contribute to elevated FFA during ischemia.
    • Specific interventions can modulate tissue FFA levels in ischemic hearts.
