Effects of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel opener on the structures and functions of the mitochondria / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

AIM To evaluate the effects of diazoxide on the structures and functions of the mitochondria after hypoxia injury. METHODS A myocardial hypoxia injury model on rat is established by subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol (ISO) 5 mg?kg -1. The degree of oxidative phosphorylation, membrane lipid fluidity (LFU), phospholipidase A 2 activity, and phosphlipid content of mitochondria were observed after hypoxia injury. RESULTS Compared with the controls, the levels of RCR, LFU and phosphlipid content were decreased 20.8% (P
