Zusammenfassung:Z. F. Xia, J. W. Horton, P. Y. Zhao, E. E. Babcock, A. D. Sherry and C. R. Malloy Department of Surgery, Mary Nell and Ralph B. Rogers Magnetic Resonance Center, Dallas, Texas, USA. Metabolic factors that influence the transition form reversible to irreversible ischemic injury were studied in the rat liver in vivo with 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Hepatic ischemia for 15, 35, or 65 min was produced by occlusion of the hepatic artery and portal vein in rats. Ischemia caused a rapid decrease in the ATP concentration ([ATP])-to-P(i) concentration ratio and pH within 5 min, but there was little change in these variables detectable by 31P-NMR with longer periods of ischemia. After reperfusion, the [ATP] and P(i) concentration returned toward normal values in livers exposed to 15 or 35 min of ischemia, but 65 min of ischemia were associated with only modest recovery in [ATP], and the [ATP] later decreased. Because the 31P-NMR spectrum was similar after brief compared with prolonged ischemia, it appears that neither ATP depletion, P(i) accumulation, nor acidosis predicts metabolic recovery. Hepatic intracellular NA+ was also measured in separate groups of animals by 23Na-NMR in the presence of a shift agent, thulium (III) 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetrakis (methylene-phosphonate) (TmDOTP5-), and by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Under baseline conditions, the concentration of intracellular Na+ was 15.2 mM by atomic absorption spectroscopy and 16.5 mM by 23Na-NMR. Although the 31P-NMR spectrum responded very rapidly to the onset of ischemia, intracellular Na+ concentration measured by 23Na-NMR increased gradually but steadily at approximately 1.0 mM/min during early (up to 15 min) ischemia. These observations demonstrate that a rise in intracellular Na+ does occur early ischemia, that TmDOTP5- can be applied in vivo for analysis of intracellular Na+ in the ischemic liver, and that 31P-NMR spectroscopy is very sensitive to early ischemic injury.
