31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and a fiberoptic pH meter were used simultaneously to follow the changes in intra- (pHi) and extracellular pH (pHe), respectively, of murine RIF-1 tumors with hyperthermia. Hyperthermia was induced at 34 MHz using the same coil used for MR. The study was carried out until 3.5 hr after hyperthermia. In untreated tumors (n = 29), pHi was always higher than pHe. pHi was reduced after hyperthermia (30 min) at both 42 degrees C and 45 degrees C. pHe registered an increase after 42 degrees C and a decrease after 45 degrees C. The reduction in pHi was larger than the initial differential between pHi and pHe, and the change in pHe was relatively small. Hyperthermia changed the acidity of the intra- and extracellular compartments, such that pHe became more alkaline than pHi by 0.15 +/- 0.13 units after 42 degrees C [pHe (7.20 +/- 0.12) and pHi (7.03 +/- 0.05)], and by 0.12 +/- 0.14 units after 45 degrees C [pHe (6.84 +/- 0.24) and pHi (6.72 +/- 0.19)]. Simultaneous measurements of pH from the intra- and extracellular compartments demonstrated reversal in the pH gradient after hyperthermic treatment.
To investigate the role of nitric oxide, NO, in facilitating cardiorespiratory function during exercise, five horses ran on a treadmill at speeds that yielded 50, 80 and 100% of peak pulmonary oxygen uptake (V(O(2)) peak) as determined on a maximal incremental test. Each horse underwent one control (C) and one (NO-synthase inhibitor; N(G)-L-nitro-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), 20 mg/kg) trial in randomized order. Pulmonary gas exchange (open flow system), arterial and mixed-venous blood gases, cardiac output (Fick Principle), and pulmonary and systemic conductances were determined. L-NAME reduced exercise tolerance, as well as cardiac output (C, 291+/-34; L-NAME, 246+/-38 L/min), body O(2) delivery (C, 74.4+/-5. 5; L-NAME, 62.1+/-5.6 L/min), and both pulmonary (C, 3.07+/-0.26; L-NAME, 2.84+/-0.35 L/min per mmHg) and systemic (C, 1.55+/-0.24; L-NAME, 1.17+/-0.16 L/min per mmHg) effective vascular conductances at peak running speeds (all P<0.05). On the 50 and 80% trials, L-NAME increased O(2) extraction, which compensated for the reduced body O(2) delivery and prevented a fall in V(O(2)). However, at peak running speed in the L-NAME trial, an elevated O(2) extraction (P<0. 05) was not sufficient to prevent V(O(2)) from falling consequent to the reduced O(2) delivery. At the 50 and 80% running speeds (as for peak), L-NAME reduced pulmonary and systemic effective conductances. These data demonstrate that the NO synthase inhibitor, L-NAME, induces a profound hemodynamic impairment at submaximal and peak running speeds in the horse thereby unveiling a potentially crucial role for NO in mediating endothelial function during exercise.
In the present work the pH and arterial blood gases were measured in fasted and fed male albino rats, weighing 297 +/- 13 g, anaesthetized with urethane (1.4 g/kg, i.p.) before and after injection of T1 fraction from Titys serrulatus scorpion venom, during 60 min. Arterial blood samples were collected at 0, 5, 15, 30 and 60 min for pH, pCO2, pO2, bicarbonate and base-excess analysis. The data showed that the scorpion toxin induced a continuous drop in the blood pH along the time. Hypercapnia and hypoxemia peaking at 30 min and followed by a recovery towards normal values at 60 min were also observed. A pronounced decrease in the blood bicarbonate levels at 60 min and negative base-excess values along with time were evident at 60 min. The comparisons between fasted and fed animals have shown that in the last group the effects of scorpion toxin on the arterial blood gases were less pronounced. We conclude that T1 fraction of Tityus serrulatus scorpion venom induces in anaesthetized rats an acute respiratory acidosis followed by metabolic acidosis.
