Effects of hypoxemia-reoxygenation and modification of L-argine-NO pathway on SVR. No Rx, Reoxygenation CPB without treatment; L-NAME,N G-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (4 mg/kg); L-NAME and L-arginine, L-NAME (4mg/kg) and L-arginine (20 mg/kg); L-Arg,, L-arginine (20 mg/kg) added to the extracorporeal circut priming fluid.

3. Fig. 2
Coronary sinus •NO during CPB with and without hypoxemia. Data are expressed as percentage of individual control value in piglets undergoing CPB without hypoxemia (CPB) and reoxygenation without treatment (No Rx).

4. Fig. 3
Effects of altering L-arginine-•NO pathwayon coronary sinus •No. Hypoxemic value reflects percent of prehypoxemic control values in all groups. Values at 5 and 30 minutes on CPB are expressed as percent of individual hypoxemic values.

6. Fig. 5
CD content in reoxygenated LV subendocardial muscle. Biopsy samples taken 30 minutes after discontinuation of CPB. Dotted bar shows range of values ± standard error (absorbance 233/mg total lipid) in normoxemic instrumented control piglets.

Antioxidant reserve capacity. Vulnerability of hypoxemic and reoxygenated myocardium to subsequent oxidant stress is determined by exposing cardiac homogenates to 0 to 4 mmol/L t-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP) for 30 minutes at 37° C (see "text" for description).
