Metabolic Alterations in Rat Myocardium in Experimental Acute Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract: Experimental atrial fibrillation in intact rats significantly decreased the content of catecholamines in atrial adrenergic fibers and phosphorylase activity, which attests to enhanced glycogen consumption in the heart. These changes were specific of the fibrillating myocardium and atria, but were absent in the ventricles. Induced atrial fibrillation did not modify activities of SDH and monoamine oxidase in cardiac subdivisions. It was hypothesized that increased energy requirements in the atria during myocardi… Show more

“…Indeed, in case of severe long-term tachycardia, energy metabolism of the cells is under stress. 46 In the presence of HF, this is an additional factor negatively affecting mitochondria as main energy factories of the cell. 47,48 Perhaps, when HR is higher than 80 bpm, endogenous stress-limiting mechanisms, associated with hsp60, are close to exhaustion.…”

“…Furthermore, some biological energy and glucan metabolic process were also found to be related to AF ( Table 2 ). Some studies hypothesized that increased energy requirements in the atria during myocardial fibrillation lead to activation of anaerobic metabolism [ 13 ]. Dong et al found that activation of β3-AR contributes to atrial metabolic remodeling via transcriptional down-regulation of the PGC-1α/NRF-1/Tfam pathway, which is involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and ultimately perturbs mitochondrial function in rapid pacing-induced AF [ 14 ].…”
