Role of oxidative stress in alterations of mitochondrial function in ischemic-reperfused hearts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To study the mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction due to ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, rat hearts were subjected to 20 or 30 min of global ischemia followed by 30 min of reperfusion. After recording both left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) and end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) to monitor the status of cardiac performance, mitochondria from these hearts were isolated to determine respiratory and oxidative phosphorylation activities. Although hearts subjected to 20 min of ischemia failed to generate LVDP and showed a marked increase in LVEDP, no changes in mitochondrial respiration and phosphorylation were observed. Reperfusion of 20-min ischemic hearts depressed mitochondrial function significantly but recovered LVDP completely and lowered the elevated LVEDP. On the other hand, depressed LVDP and elevated LVEDP in 30-min ischemic hearts were associated with depressions in both mitochondrial respiration and oxidative phosphorylation. Reperfusion of 30-min ischemic hearts elevated LVEDP, attenuated LVDP, and decreased mitochondrial state 3 and uncoupled respiration, respiratory control index, ADP-to-O ratio, as well as oxidative phosphorylation rate. Alterations of cardiac performance and mitochondrial function in I/R hearts were attenuated or prevented by pretreatment with oxyradical scavenging mixture (superoxide dismutase and catalase) or antioxidants [N-acetyl-L-cysteine or N-(2-mercaptopropionyl)-glycine]. Furthermore, alterations in cardiac performance and mitochondrial function due to I/R were simulated by an oxyradical-generating system (xanthine plus xanthine oxidase) and an oxidant (H(2)O(2)) either upon perfusing the heart or upon incubation with mitochondria. These results support the view that oxidative stress plays an important role in inducing changes in cardiac performance and mitochondrial function due to I/R.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
