Abstract
Age and sex play an essential role in the cardiac tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion injury: cardiac resistance significantly decreases during postnatal maturation and the female heart is more tolerant than the male myocardium. It is widely accepted that mitochondrial dysfunction, and particularly mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening, plays a major role in determining the extent of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury. We have observed that the MPTP sensitivity to the calcium load differs in mitochondria isolated from neonatal and adult myocardium, as well as from adult male and female hearts. Neonatal and female mitochondria are more resistant both in the extent and in the rate of mitochondrial swelling induced by high calcium concentration. Our data further suggest that age- and sex-dependent specificity of the MPTP is not the result of different amounts of ATP synthase and cyclophilin D: neonatal and adult hearts, similarly as the male and female hearts, contain comparable amounts of MPTP and its regulatory protein cyclophilin D. We can speculate that the lower sensitivity of MPTP to the calcium-induced swelling may be related to the higher ischemic tolerance of both neonatal and female myocardium.

Abstract
Opening of the mitochondrial membrane permeability transition pore (MPTP) is an important factor in the activation of apoptotic and necrotic processes in mammalian cells. In a previous paper we have shown that cardiac mitochondria from neonatal rats are more resistant to calcium load than mitochondria from adult animals. In this study we have analyzed the ontogenetic development of this parameter both in heart and in liver mitochondria. We found that the high resistance of heart mitochondria decreases from day 14 to adulthood. On the other hand, we did not observe a similar age-dependent sensitivity in liver mitochondria, particularly in the neonatal period. Some significant but relatively smaller increase could be observed only after day 30. When compared with liver mitochondria cardiac mitochondria were more resistant also to the peroxide activating effect on calcium-induced mitochondrial swelling. These data thus indicate that the MPTP of heart mitochondria is better protected against damaging effects of the calcium load and oxidative stress. We can only speculate that the lower sensitivity to calcium-induced swelling may be related to the higher ischemic tolerance of the neonatal heart.

Abstract
Hypoxic states of the cardiovascular system are undoubtedly associated with the most frequent diseases of modern times. They originate as a result of disproportion between the amount of oxygen supplied to the cardiac cell and the amount actually required by the cell. The degree of hypoxic injury depends not only on the intensity and duration of the hypoxic stimulus, but also on the level of cardiac tolerance to oxygen deprivation. This variable changes significantly during phylogenetic and ontogenetic development. The heart of an adult poikilotherm is significantly more resistant as compared with that of the homeotherms. Similarly, the immature homeothermic heart is more resistant than the adult, possibly as a consequence of its greater capability for anaerobic glycolysis. Tolerance of the adult myocardium to oxygen deprivation may be increased by pharmacological intervention, adaptation to chronic hypoxia, or preconditioning. Because the immature heart is significantly more dependent on transsarcolemmal calcium entry to support contraction, the pharmacological protection achieved with drugs that interfere with calcium handling is markedly altered. Developing hearts demonstrated a greater sensitivity to calcium channel antagonists; a dose that induces only a small negative inotropic effect in adult rats stops the neonatal heart completely. Adaptation to chronic hypoxia results in similarly enhanced cardiac resistance in animals exposed to hypoxia either immediately after birth or in adulthood. Moreover, decreasing tolerance to ischemia during early postnatal life is counteracted by the development of endogenous protection; preconditioning failed to improve ischemic tolerance just after birth, but it developed during the early postnatal period. Basic knowledge of the possible improvements of immature heart tolerance to oxygen deprivation may contribute to the design of therapeutic strategies for both pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery.

Abstract
The type of the blood supply to the myocardium appears to be closely related to its structural arrangement. The heart of adult poikilotherm animals is either entirely spongious, supplied from the ventricular cavity or its spongious musculature is covered by an outer compact layer with vascular supply. The size of the compact layer increases with increasing heart weight. The changes in the heart size during the ontogenetic development of honoiotherms are accompanied by the gradual transformation of the vascularless spongious musculature into a compact myocardium supplied thrugh coronary vessels. Up to the development of coronary arteries (in the rat up to the 17th day of embryonic life - ed) the myocardium is entirely spongious and supplied from mentricular cavity. Two types of primitive vascular bed are characteristic for this period: a) intertrabecular spaces, which penetrate deep into the ventricular wall as direct continuation of the endocardium, and b) intramyocardial clefts without endothelial lining. During further development of the terminal mascular bed, the outgrowth of endothelial cells into the myocardial clefts is important. The first capillaries with closed endothelial wall can be observed on the 18th ed. At this time various developmental stages o the terminal blood bed can be observed simultaneously. Within the following period (20-21 ed) the thick capillary walls become narrow and pericytes occur. The process of differentiation spreads in both ventricles and in septum from the base to the cardiac apex and is practically finished by the 14th day of postnatal life. The longitudinal orientations of myofibres starts between the 20th and 22nd ed. The final arrangement of muscle cells and capillaries into three layers (outer and inner longitudinal, central circular) is terminated during the second postnatal week.
