We previously reported on the use of enzymatic analysis to impair fatty acid metabolism followed by reduced myocardial energy content, leading to severe heart failure in adriamycin (ADR)-treated rats. The aim of this study is to investigate whether impaired myocardial energy metabolism can also be detected by other methods; i.e. measuring mitochondrial complex I activity and myocardial I-125-15-(p-iodophenyl)-3-(R, S)- methylpentadecanoic acid ( BMIPP) accumulation in ADR-treated rats. Eight-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats received 6 intraperitoneal injections of ADR ( total 15 mg/kg: group ADR) or saline ( control group) over 2 weeks. Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction was assessed using echocardiography at 3- and 6-weeks after ADR injection ( 3 weeks and 6 weeks, respectively). Myocardial fatty acid utilization was assessed at 3 weeks and 6 weeks. The myocardial counts of BMIPP were measured after intravenous BMIPP ( 370 kBq) injection, and I-125 counts were measured to calculate the uptake ratio. The enzymatic activity of complex I was assessed by monitoring the oxidation of nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide-disodium- salt ( NADH). In rats treated with ADR, significant decrease in LV ejection fraction was observed only at 6 weeks compared to control (72.5 vs. 84.5%, p < 0.01). LV ejection fraction at 3 weeks was identical between group ADR and control ( 81.8 vs. 84.4%). However, at 3 weeks, complex I activity was already reduced significantly in group ADR as compared to control group ( p = 0.03), but the reduction in BMIPP accumulation was not ( p = 0.15). Our data indicated that reduced complex I activity in a phenomenon occurred in early phase of ADR-induced cardiomyopathy, and it might play an important role in the progression of ADR-induced heart failure.
