The effects of the duration of ischemia on coronary vasoconstriction after ischemia-reperfusion were analysed in rat hearts. After 15, 30 or 45 min of global zero-flow ischemia and 15 min reperfusion, the coronary response to endothelin-1 (10(-10)-10(-7) M) and the thromboxane A2 analogue 9,11-dideoxy-1a,9a-epoxymethanoprostaglandin F2alpha (U46691, 10(-8)-10(-6) M) was recorded. Vasoconstriction induced by endothelin-1 only increased after short 15 min periods of ischemia. In contrast, the vasoconstriction induced by U46619 remained unmodified by short ischemias but was reduced after longer periods of ischemia (30 and 45 min). Inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis with the N-w-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 10(-4) M) augmented the vasoconstriction induced by endothelin-1 in non-ischemic hearts, but not following ischemia. Similarly, L-NAME increased the vasoconstriction induced by U46619 to a greater extent in non-ischemic hearts than following ischemia. These results suggest that ischemia-reperfusion inhibits nitric oxide production, causing an increased coronary response to endothelin-1 after brief ischemias. Longer ischemias may non-specifically inhibit coronary vasoconstriction and reduce nitric oxide production. (C) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
