Abstract
The isolated saline-perfused heart is used extensively to study cardiac physiology. Previous isolated heart studies have demonstrated lower tissue oxygenation compared with in vivo hearts based on myoglobin oxygenation and the mitochondrial redox state. These data, consistent with small anoxic regions, suggest that the homeostatic balance between work and oxygen delivery is impaired. We hypothesized that these anoxic regions are caused by inadequate local perfusion due to a paradoxical arteriole constriction generated by a disrupted vasoregulatory network. We tested this hypothesis by applying two exogenous vasodilatory agents, adenosine and cromakalim, to relax vascular tone in an isolated, saline-perfused, working rabbit heart. Oxygenation was monitored using differential optical transmission spectroscopy and full spectral fitting. Increases in coronary flow over control with adenosine (27 ± 4 ml/min) or cromakalim (44 ± 4 ml/min) were associated with proportional spectral changes indicative of myoglobin oxygenation and cytochrome oxidase (COX) oxidation, consistent with a decrease in tissue anoxia. Quantitatively, adenosine decreased deoxymyoglobin optical density (OD) across the wall by 0.053 ± 0.008 OD, whereas the reduced form of COX was decreased by 0.039 ± 0.005 OD. Cromakalim was more potent, decreasing deoxymyoglobin and reducing the level of COX by 0.070 ± 0.019 OD and 0.062 ± 0.019 OD, respectively. These effects were not species specific, as Langendorff-perfused mouse hearts treated with adenosine demonstrated similar changes. These data are consistent with paradoxical arteriole constriction as a major source of regional anoxia during saline heart perfusion. We suggest that the vasoregulatory network is disrupted by the washout of interstitial vasoactive metabolites in vitro. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Regional tissue anoxia is a common finding in the ubiquitous saline-perfused heart but is not found in vivo. Noninvasive optical techniques confirmed the presence of regional anoxia under control conditions and demonstrated that anoxia is diminished using exogenous vasodilators. These data are consistent with active arteriole constriction, occurring despite regional anoxia, generated by a disrupted vasoregulatory network. Washout of interstitial vasoactive metabolites may contribute to the disruption of normal vasoregulatory processes in vitro.

Abstract
A method to simultaneously measure oxygenation in vascular, intracellular, and mitochondrial spaces from optical spectra acquired from muscle has been developed. In order to validate the method, optical spectra in the visible and near-infrared regions (600-850 nm) were acquired from solutions of myoglobin, hemoglobin, and cytochrome oxidase that included Intralipid as a light scatterer. Spectra were also acquired from the rabbit forelimb. Three partial least squares (PLS) analyses were performed on second-derivative spectra, each separately calibrated to myoglobin oxygen saturation, hemoglobin oxygen saturation, or cytochrome aa3 oxidation. The three variables were measured from in vitro and in vivo spectra that contained all three chromophores. In the in vitro studies, measured values of myoglobin saturation, hemoglobin saturation, and cytochrome aa3 oxidation had standard errors of 5.9%, 7.4%, and 12.2%, respectively, with little cross-talk between the in vitro measurements. In the progression from normal oxygenation to ischemia in the rabbit forelimb, hemoglobin desaturated first, followed by myoglobin, while cytochrome aa3 reduction occurred last. The ability to simultaneously measure oxygenations in the vascular, intracellular, and mitochondrial compartments will be valuable in physiological studies of muscle metabolism and in clinical studies when oxygen supply or utilization are compromised.

Mitochondrial oxygen tension within the heart. J Mol Cell Cardiol 2009; 46:943-51.

Abstract
By using a newly developed optical technique which enables non-invasive measurement of mitochondrial oxygenation (mitoPO(2)) in the intact heart, we addressed three long-standing oxygenation questions in cardiac physiology: 1) what is mitoPO(2) within the in vivo heart?, 2) is mitoPO(2) heterogeneously distributed?, and 3) how does mitoPO(2) of the isolated Langendorff-perfused heart compare with that in the in vivo working heart? Following calibration and validation studies of the optical technique in isolated cardiomyocytes, mitochondria and intact hearts, we show that in the in vivo condition mean mitoPO(2) was 35+/-5 mm Hg. The mitoPO(2) was highly heterogeneous, with the largest fraction (26%) of mitochondria having a mitoPO(2) between 10 and 20 mm Hg, and 10% between 0 and 10 mm Hg. Hypoxic ventilation (10% oxygen) increased the fraction of mitochondria in the 0-10 mm Hg range to 45%, whereas hyperoxic ventilation (100% oxygen) had no major effect on mitoPO(2). For Langendorff-perfused rat hearts, mean mitoPO(2) was 29+/-5 mm Hg with the largest fraction of mitochondria (30%) having a mitoPO(2) between 0 and 10 mm Hg. Only in the maximally vasodilated condition, did the isolated heart compare with the in vivo heart (11% of mitochondria between 0 and 10 mm Hg). These data indicate 1) that the mean oxygen tension at the level of the mitochondria within the heart in vivo is higher than generally considered, 2) that mitoPO(2) is considerably heterogeneous, and 3) that mitoPO(2) of the classic buffer-perfused Langendorff heart is shifted to lower values as compared to the in vivo heart.

Abstract
To investigate whether nandrolone decanoate (ND)-pretreatment can modulate (1) beta-adrenoceptor expression and (2) myocardial contractility in response to beta-adrenoceptors stimulation with isoproterenol (ISO), in hearts of both normal and stressed rats. Rats were treated with 15 mg/(kgday) of Deca-Durabolin (ND, 1 ml i.m.) or with vehicle (oil) for 14 days. The day after the last injection, the dose-response to ISO (1 x 10(-8), 5 x 10(-8) and 10(-7)M), was studied in isolated rat hearts harvested from unstressed animals (unstressed+vehicle (control) or unstressed+ND) or from stressed animals (stressed+vehicle or stressed+ND): acute stress protocol consisted in restrain for 1h immediately before sacrifice. ND-pretreatment increased beta(2)-adrenoceptor expression. In baseline conditions all hearts had a similar left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) and maximum rate of increase of LVDP (dP/dt(max)). In hearts of unstressed+vehicle or unstressed+ND, ISO caused a similar increase in LVDP (+90-100%) and dP/dt(max) (+120-150%). However, hearts of stressed+vehicle animals showed a marked depression of inotropic response to ISO (i.e. for ISO 1 x 10(-8),-55% in LVDP response versus unstressed). Yet, in hearts of stressed+ND-animals the effect of stress was reversed, showing the highest response to ISO (i.e. for ISO 1 x 10(-7), +30% LVDP response versus unstressed). The ND-induced beta(2)-adrenoceptor overexpression does not affect ISO-response in unstressed animals. However, acute stress induces a down-regulation of ISO-response, which is reversed by ND-pretreatment. Since the physiological post-stress down-regulation of adrenergic-response is absent after nandrolone treatment, the heart may be exposed to a sympathetic over-stimulation. This might represent a risk for cardiovascular incidents in anabolic steroid addicts under stressing conditions.

Abstract
Optical spectra were acquired from myoglobin and hemoglobin solutions and from the tibialis anterior muscle of Sprague-Dawley rats in the visible region (515 to 660 nm). Validation studies were performed on the in vitro spectra to demonstrate that partial least squares analysis of second-derivative spectra yields accurate measurements of myoglobin saturation in the presence of varying hemoglobin concentrations and saturations. When hemoglobin concentrations were varied between 0.25 and 4 times that of myoglobin, myoglobin saturations were measured with a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 4.9% (n = 56) over the full range from 0 to 1. Myoglobin saturations were also shown to be largely unaffected by hemoglobin saturation. RMSE values of only 1.7% (n = 77) were found when hemoglobin saturations were varied independently from myoglobin saturations. These in vitro validation studies represent the most complete and rigorous done to date using partial least squares analysis on myoglobin and hemoglobin spectra. Analysis of reflectance spectra from the rat hind limb yielded accurate measures of volume-averaged myoglobin fractional saturation in the presence of hemoglobin in vivo. Hemodilution showed that myoglobin fractional saturation measurements in the rat leg are not sensitive to changes in hematocrit, thereby confirming the results from solutions in vitro. Decreases in optical density of 11.3 +/- 3.0% (n = 3) were achieved while myoglobin saturation decreased by only 3.1 +/- 3.8%. Myoglobin saturation was significantly increased when the fraction of inspired O(2) was increased, showing that manipulations of myoglobin saturation are detectable and that myoglobin is not fully saturated in resting muscle. Together, these in vitro and in vivo studies show that cellular oxygenation derived from myoglobin fractional saturation can be measured accurately with little cross-talk from hemoglobin in the visible wavelength region, thereby extending optical spectroscopic studies of cellular and vascular oxygenation beyond the near-infrared regions previously studied.

Abstract
Recent clinical studies of patients with sepsis have shown that the delivery of adequate oxygen alone does not necessarily result in improved organ function or survival. This study was undertaken to determine if optical spectroscopy could detect higher intracellular oxygenations in isolated, perfused guinea pig hearts that have been treated with endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) than in controls. Four hours after intraperitoneal injection with LPS, adult guinea pigs were anesthetized, and hearts were excised and perfused in the Langendorff manner. Six control and eight LPS-exposed guinea pigs were studied. Myoglobin oxygen saturation was determined from analysis of optical reflectance spectra acquired from the left ventricular free wall. Myoglobin saturation was significantly higher at baseline with LPS than in controls (96.0% +/- 0.8% vs. 89.4% +/- 1.7%, P < 0.001). At the end of 30 s of ischemia, myoglobin saturation decreased to 15% +/- 1% in controls, but to only 60% +/- 7% in the LPS group. Myocardial performance was determined by measured left ventricular developed pressure, which was significantly depressed in the LPS-exposed hearts relative to controls (30 +/- 4 mmHg vs. 67 +/- 9 mmHg, P < 0.001). Myocardial oxygen consumption, calculated from measurements of arterial and venous PO2 and coronary flow, was lower in LPS hearts relative to controls (0.199 +/- 0.021 mL oxygen x min(-1) x g(-1) vs. 0.157 +/- 0.006 mL oxygen x min(-1) x g(-1)). In this model of sepsis in the perfused guinea pig heart, intracellular oxygenation was higher and oxygen consumption was lower than in controls. Cellular dysfunction seen in sepsis may be caused by compromised oxygen use rather than insufficient oxygen delivery. Optical spectroscopy has the potential to noninvasively monitor patients and their responses to therapy.

Abstract
Myoglobin (Mb) has a purported role in facilitating O2diffusion in tissue, especially as cellular Po2drops or the respiration demand increases. Inhibiting Mb with CO under conditions that accentuate the facilitated diffusion role should then elicit a significant physiological response. In one set of experiments, the perfused myocardium received buffer with decreasing Po2(225, 129, and 64 mmHg). Intracellular Po2declined, as reflected in the1H NMR Val E11 signal of MbO2(67%, 32%, and 18%). The addition of 6% CO further reduced the available MbO2(11%, 9%, and 7%), as evidenced by the decline of the MbO2Val E11 signal intensity at −2.76 ppm. In a second set of experiments, electrical stimulation increased the heart rate (300, 450, and 540 beats/min) and correspondingly the O2consumption rate (MV̇o2). Intracellular Po2also declined, as reflected in the slight drop in the MbO2signal (100%, 96%, and 82%). MV̇o2increased (100%, 114%, 165%). The addition of 3% CO in the stimulated hearts further decreased the available MbO2(46%, 44%, and 29%). In all cases, CO inactivation of Mb does not induce any change in the respiration rate, contractile function, and high-energy phosphate levels. Moreover, the MbCO/MbO2partition coefficient shifts dramatically from its in vitro value during hypoxia and increased work. The observation suggests a modulation of an intracellular O2gradient. Overall, the experimental observations provide no evidence of a facilitated diffusion role for Mb in perfused myocardium and implicate a physiologically responsive intracellular O2gradient.
