ABSTRACT

Experimental studies have demonstrated a decrease in hepatocyte transmembrane potential (HTP) during ischemia, whereas HTP is improved in livers with greater glycogen reserves. The present study was undertaken to assess blood glucose. pH, K+ and hepatic glycogen levels during determined periods of warm liver ischemia and after reperfusion. The study was conducted on 15 mongrel dogs (9-17 kg) submitted to warm liver ischemia by clamping of the portal vein and hepatic artery (90 ñ 20 min) with blood flow of the infradiaphragmatic region shunted into left external jugular vein through a venovenous bypass draining the portal vein and the inferior vena cava. Blood samples and hepatic tissue biopsies were obtained before ischemia (control), after 15 and 45 min of ischemia, and 15 min after liver reperfusion. A significant increase in blood glucose was observed during reperfusion of the liver (p < O.05 vs control, 15 and 45 min of ischemia). The period of ischemia had a progressive glycogenolysis which became more marked after reperfusion, possibly explaining the increase in blood glucose levels observed during this period.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do presente trabalho é avaliar as alteraçöes enzimáticas do efluente hepático e a funçäo mitocondrial do fígado como indicadores da síndrome de bloqueio ao efluxo venoso do fígado (BEVF). Foram estudados 14 cäes mestiços de ambos os sexos com peso variando de 16 a 20 Kg, submetidos a transplante ortotópico de fígado sendo sete doadores e sete receptores. Após a anastomose da veia cava supra-hepática perfundiu-se o fígado com 300ml de soluçäo de cloreto de sódio a 0,9//) (SF) pela veia porta, colhendo-se o efluente hepático (EH) pela veia cava infra-hepática em 4 frascos de 20ml, para dosagens de DHL, AST e ALT. Amostras de tecido hepático foram colhidas no início da operaçäo do doador (D1) imediatamente antes do implante (D@), 15 minutos (R1) e 60 minutos (R2) após a reperfusäo hepática no receptor. Nos animais com BEVF os níveis de DHL, ALT e AST no EH foram significativamente superiores aos controles. A respiraçäo mitocondrial hepática em todos os tempos estudados, foi significativamente maior e efetiva nos controles do que nos animais com BEVF. O BEVF foi confirmado pelo exame anatomopatológico que mostrou necrose hepatocelular, alargamento sinusoidal e destruiçäo da veia centro-lobular
