Abstract

Aging increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The objective of this study was to show the effect of propargylglycine (PPG) upon cardiohemodynamics in old rats. We used pressure-volume (PV) conductance catheter system (Millar Instruments, USA) in order to evaluate systolic and diastolic function in vivo. It has been shown that introducted PPG (11,31 mg/kg) decrises both arterial stiffness (by 1,5 times) and end-diastolic stiffness (by 2,1 times) in old rats. Using PPG in heart mitochondria resulted in increasing levels of H2S (by 112%), NO2 - (by 162%) and in growing activity of cNOS (by 3 times). Additionally, PPG decreased the mitochondrial pools of the uric acid, the marker of the superoxide (*O2 - ) formation and of the ATP degradation. These results suggest that PPG activates alternative ways of H2S synthesis, stimulates the NO and H2S synthesis and suppresses the ATP degradation and *O- formation. These actions of PPG improve arterial stiffness and end-diastolic stiffness.

Keywords: aging; cardiohemodynamic; hydrogen sulfide; propargylglycine; oxidative stress; uric acid
