    Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) strongly protects against ischemia-reperfusion injury; however, its effect on subsequent myocardial oxygenation is unknown. Therefore, we determine in an in vivo mouse model of regional ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) if IPC attenuates postischemic myocardial hyperoxygenation and decreases formation of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), with preservation of mitochondrial function. The following five groups of mice were studied: sham, control (I/R), ischemic preconditioning (IPC + I/R, 3 cycles of 5 min coronary occlusion/5 min reperfusion) and IPC + I/R N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester treated, and IPC + I/R eNOS knockout mice. I/R and IPC + I/R mice were subjected to 30 min regional ischemia followed by 60 min reperfusion. Myocardial Po(2) and redox state were monitored by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. In the IPC + I/R, but not the I/R group, regional blood flow was increased after reperfusion. Po(2) upon reperfusion increased significantly above preischemic values in I/R but not in IPC + I/R mice. Tissue redox state was measured from the reduction rate of a spin probe, and this rate was 60% higher in IPC than in non-IPC hearts. Activities of NADH dehydrogenase (NADH-DH) and cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) were reduced in I/R mice after 60 min reperfusion but conserved in IPC + I/R mice compared with sham. There were no differences in NADH-DH and CcO expression in I/R and IPC + I/R groups compared with sham. After 60 min reperfusion, strong nitrotyrosine formation was observed in I/R mice, but only weak staining was observed in IPC + I/R mice. Thus IPC markedly attenuates postischemic myocardial hyperoxygenation with less ROS/RNS generation and preservation of mitochondrial O(2) metabolism because of conserved NADH-DH and CcO activities.
