RESUMO
Uncoupling of respiration and ATP production by myocardial mitochondria was observed in rats with chronic isoproterenol intoxication (L-isoproterenol subcutaneously, 1 mg/kg, for 10 days) in comparison with controls (injected with the solvent). Inhibitors of NHE-1 zoniporide (1 mg/kg intraperitoneally, 13 days) and BMA-1321 compound (0.92 mg/kg intraperitoneally, 13 days) improved the mitochondrial function in rats with isoproterenol-induced cardiac failure: respiratory control coefficients increased, more so for the respiratory chain complex II, the main source of ROS in heart failure. The effect of BMA-1321 was more manifest (53%; p<0.05) in comparison with zoniporide (35%; p<0.05).
