Abstract The aim of the present study was to assess whether the protective effects of ischemic preconditioning (PC) are associated with activation of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels (mitoKATP) and if there is any relationship between the activity of these channels and the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening in ischemic-reperfused rat hearts under different nutritional conditions. Langendorffperfused hearts of fed and 24-h fasted rats were exposed to 25 min of no-flow global ischemia plus 30 min of reperfusion. Fasting accelerated functional recovery and attenuated MPTP opening. The mitoKATP blocker, 5hydroxydecanoic (HD), did not influence functional recovery and MPTP opening induced by ischemia–reperfusion in the fed hearts but partially reversed the beneficial effects of fasting. PC and the mitoKATP opener, diazoxide (DZ), improved functional recovery, preserved cell viability, and inhibited MPTP opening in both fed and fasted hearts. The protection elicited by PC and DZ on contractile recovery and MPTP opening was reversed M. G. Marina Prendes (*) : R. Hermann : M. E. Torresin : D. Vélez : E. A. Savino : A.

by HD, which did not affect cell viability. Altogether, these results argue for a role of mitoKATP and its impact on preservation mitochondrial inner membrane permeability as a relevant factor in the improvement of contractile function in the ischemic-reperfused rat heart. They also suggest that the functional protection elicited by PC may be related to this mechanism. Keywords Rat . Heart . Ischemia . Preconditioning .
