Özet
There is enough evidence that erythropoietin (EPO) may be involved in cardiovascular function. Therefore we have investigated the possible effects of EPO on left ventricular developed pressure, +dP/dt(max), heart rate, tissue cAMP, and nitrite levels. Isolated rat hearts were perfused under constant flow (10 ml/min) conditions with modified Krebs-Henseleit solution and. recombinant human erythropoietin at doses of 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 IU/kg was administered as bolus injections. EPO at 100 IU/kg decreased, but higher doses (500 and 1,000 IU/kg) raised the developed pressure and +dP/dt(max). However, it did not affect heart rate or coronary perfusion pressure when all the respective doses were applied. EPO at 100 IU/kg increased nitrite, and at 1,000 IU/kg it raised cAMP. Our results suggest that EPO may produce dose-dependently negative and positive inotropic effects on myocardial contractility in isolated rat hearts. NO and cAMP may be involved in negative and positive inotropic effects of EPO, respectively.
