AMP deaminase, 5′-nucleotidase and adenosine deaminase in rat myocardial tissue in myocardial infarction and hypothermia

Abstract: AMP deaminase, 5'-nucleotidase and adenosine deaminase have been estimated in skeletal muscle and myocardial tissue in normal rats and in rats subjected to experimental myocardial infarction or hypothermia. A difference in the enzyme distribution was found between the right and left ventricles in the normal rat. A decrease in the activity of 5'-nucleotidase and an increase in the activity of adenosine deaminase were observed in infarcted myocardial tissue. The activity of all 3 enzymes was found to be depresse… Show more

“…Another possibility is that ischemic conditions could change the activities of adenosine kinase and/or adenosine deaminase. Studies performed in rats subjected to experimental myocardial infarction have demonstrated that adenosine deaminase activity is significantly increased in infarcted tissue (33). It has also been shown that global ischemia for 10 min significantly elevates adenosine deaminase activity in the rat heart (8).…”

“…Thus, the bimolecular complex of DPP‐4 and ADA catalyses the irreversible deamination of adenosine to inosine in the purine catabolic pathway and increases uric acid and superoxide anions as end‐products . ADA activity is increased in myocardial tissues after myocardial infarction (MI) . Although ADA blockers have been reported to decrease radical generation and prevent postischemic heart injury , there were controversies regarding the cardioprotection of ADA blockers.…”

“…The activity of 5'-nucleotidase in cardiac tissue is known to change according to the physiological state of the cell (29), during aging (12), in hypertrophy (26), and Saleem et al (30) have reported a decrease in the activity of 5'-nucleotidase in the left ventricle after 90 rain of ischaemia. Recently we reported fourfold differences between the atria and ventricles in the activity of this enzyme in the normal canine heart (9).…”
