Abstract
We have recently demonstrated enhanced alpha-adrenergic responsiveness assessed electrophysiologically in ischemic and reperfused myocardium. This study was performed to determine whether ischemia alters alpha 1-adrenergic receptor number (Bmax) of affinity (KD) based on [3H]prazosin binding. Within 30 min after occlusion, Bmax increased in ischemic regions to 207% of control to 27 +/- 2 fmol/mg protein, with the increase persisting (+ 141% of control) during early reperfusion (2 min), before returning to control base-line values (13 +/- 1.6) after 15 min of reperfusion. KD was not altered at any interval studied. Beta receptor number of ([3H]dihydroalprenolol) and Na+-K+ ATPase activity were comparable in control compared to ischemic myocardium although beta-receptor Bmax and KD in both regions decreased during early reperfusion. Thus, the enhanced alpha-adrenergic responsivity previously recognized with ischemia and reperfusion is correlated with an increase in alpha 1-adrenergic receptors.
