Abstract
Although the effects of both high [H+] and high [lactate] ([L-]) are receiving attention under ischemia-reperfusion conditions, little is known about their effects in non-ischemic hearts. Isolated rat hearts were Langendorff-perfused at constant, unlimiting flow with media at two pH (7.4 and 7.0) and two [L-] (0 and 20 mM) in various sequences (n=6/group). We measured contractility, O2 uptake, diastolic pressure, and at the end of the protocol, tissue [L-] and pH. Perfusion with high [L-] raised tissue [L-] from 5.5±0.1 to 17.5±2.6 μmoles/heart (P
