To evaluate the diagnostic role of histochemically demonstrated aerobic dehydrogenases in ischemic myocardial injury NADH-diaphorase, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) were demonstrated histochemically and the corresponding enzyme activities were measured biochemically in isolated perfused rats hearts after global ischemia from 0 to 12 h. The present data show that the enzyme-histochemical methods when used properly are more sensitive indicators of early ischemic injury than classical histological staining procedures. From the enzymes tested here the histochemical demonstration of HBDH turned out to be best suited for use when suspecting ischemic myocardial injury at autopsy.

Histochemical study of enzymatic activity in the myocardium was performed in sudden cardiac death. Human hearts in which there were no macroscopic and histological focal or diffuse changes served as material. The following enzymes were studied in the anterior or posterior walls of the left ventricle or in the interventricular septum: succinate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (OHBDH), alpha-glycerophosphate- and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, NAD-diaphorase and phosphorylase. Increased activity of OHBDH and LDH was found: 36,0 and 22,6% higher than in trauma and brain hemorrhage that served as control. These alterations seem to be connected with the increase of blood content of fatty acids, and lactate as a response to the catecholamine excess. Foci of an acute ischemia were found in the interventricular septum in 80% of cases in which phosphorylase was revealed. The appearance of the ischemic foci was obviously due to the coronary arteries contraction.

A study was made of effects of transcardiac galvanization (TCG) on activities of a panel of oxidation-reduction enzymes as well as on the cardiac muscle content of high energy substrates, and size of the lesion area, in experimental myocardial infarction (EMI) in 50 albino male rats. After two TCG procedures, and at 24-h EMI, augmentation was found of activities of succinic dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, NADH-dehydrogenase, beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, both in the area of profound ischemia and peri-infarction myocardium, this being accompanied with an increase in myocardial content of adenosine triphosphate, creatine phosphate, and glycogen, and reduction of the developing mass of necrosis. Stimulation of enzyme activity in the course on the enzyme complex and membrane-stabilizing action of this preformed physical factor.

We used proteomics to detect regional differences in protein expression levels from mitochondrial fractions of control, ischemia-reperfusion (IR), and ischemic preconditioned (IPC) rabbit hearts. Using 2-DE, we identified 25 mitochondrial proteins that were differentially expressed in the IR heart compared with the control and IPC hearts. For three of the spots, the expression patterns were confirmed by Western blotting analysis. These proteins included 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, prohibitin, 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, adenosine triphosphate synthases, the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidoreductase, translation elongation factor, actin alpha, malate dehydrogenase, NADH dehydrogenase, pyruvate dehydrogenase and the voltage-dependent anion channel. Interestingly, most of these proteins are associated with the mitochondrial respiratory chain and energy metabolism. The successful use of multiple techniques, including 2-DE, MALDI-TOF-MS and Western blotting analysis demonstrates that proteomic analysis provides appropriate means for identifying cardiac markers for detection of ischemia-induced cardiac injury.
