Vanadate Improves Cardiac Function and Myocardial Energy Metabolism in Diabetic Rat Hearts

Abstract: SUMMARYVanadium mimicking the metabolic effects of insulin is known to decrease serum glucose levels and to influence glucose metabolism in diabetes mellitus. However, it is unclear whether vanadium ameliorates the metabolic disorder in diabetic hearts causing myocardial dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of vanadium on cardiac performance and energy metabolism in diabetic rat hearts. Four groups of Wistar rats were studied: untreated control rats (group C, n = 8), vanadate-treate… Show more

“…Differences in the availability of vanadate species, concentration of vanadate, animal species, and type of the preparations, as well as experimental conditions, may be the reason for these discrepancies. Nonetheless, the present study seems to support the view that vanadate may exert beneficial effects in I/R hearts in a manner similar to that seen in hearts subjected to myocardial infarction (30) or diabetes (20).…”

“…Nonetheless, the participation of other mechanisms, such as activation of Akt, prevention of fodrin breakdown, and inhibition of apoptosis by prevention of caspase-3 activation during I/R (30), cannot be ruled out on the basis of the present study. Furthermore, the protective effect of vanadate in I/R may be associated with preservation of myocardial energy metabolism in terms of increase in myocardial contents of ATP, creatine phosphate, and cytosolic phosphorylation, as observed in diabetic hearts (20).…”

“…Further studies demonstrate that vanadate augmented glucose uptake and improved ischemic tolerance in hypertrophied heart (84). Improvement in cardiac function following vanadate treatment may result from restoration of aberrant myocardial ATP and phophocreatine production as well as creatine kinase activities in diabetic rats (45,85,86).…”
