We hypothesized that myocardial contractile function and coronary arterial function are greater after ischemia and reperfusion in high-intensity treadmill-trained vs. sedentary rats. Rats performed 10 x 4-min bouts of treadmill running consisting of 2 min at 13 m/min + 2 min at 45-60 m/min (Etr) or were sedentary (Sed) for 12 wk. Animals then were instrumented to measure left ventricular (LV) contractility in response to three 15-min coronary occlusion (O) and 5-min reperfusion (R) cycles (Isc) or a sham operation (Sham). After the Isc and Sham protocols, hearts were excised and coronary arterial ( approximately 105 microm ID) function was evaluated by using isometric techniques. LV developed pressure, the first derivative of LV pressure at a developed pressure of 40 mmHg, and systolic blood pressure were not different between Etr (n = 14) and Sed (n = 7) rats before or after the Sham protocol. Furthermore, hemodynamic variables were similar in Etr (n = 14) and Sed (n = 13) animals before the Isc protocol and were depressed to the same degree by the three O-R cycles. Therefore, Etr did not alter myocardial contractile function in rats that were (i.e., Isc) or were not (i.e., Sham) exposed to ischemia and reperfusion. Acetylcholine-evoked relaxation (10-8 to 3 x 10-5 M) was greater (P < 0.05) in coronary arteries from Sham-Etr vs. Sham-Sed animals (5 of 8 doses tested) and Isc-Etr vs. Isc-Sed rats (3 of 8 doses tested). Maximal relaxation produced by sodium nitroprusside (10-4 M) was similar among groups. Vasocontractile responses produced by KCl (10-100 mM) and endothelin-1 (10-11-10-4 M) were greater (P < 0.05) in the presence vs. the absence of nitric oxide synthase inhibition (10-6 M NG-monomethyl-l-arginine) in vessels from Sham-Etr but not Sham-Sed rats and from Isc-Etr but not Isc-Sed rats. These findings suggest that Etr-evoked improvements in coronary function are maintained in small arteries even when exposed to ischemia and reperfusion.
