Previous in vivo studies in dogs suggest that the 9,10-monoepoxide of linoleic acid (9,10-cis-epoxyoctadecenoic acid [9,10-EOA]) has toxic cardiovascular effects that result in death at higher doses. More recent work with rabbit renal proximal tubule cells suggests that the 12,13-metabolites of linoleic acid are more toxic than the 9,10-isomers. Thus, in the current study, we tested the hypothesis that 12,13-EOA and 12,13-dihydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (12,13-DHOA) have direct adverse effects on the heart. Langendorff-perfused rat hearts were exposed to 30 microM linoleic acid, 30 microM 12,13-EOA, or 30 microM 12,13-DHOA for 60 min followed by a 30-min recovery period. As indicated by peak left intraventricular pressure and/or +dP/dt(max), all three of the agents elicited moderate increases in contractile function that peaked within 10 20 min. The effects of linoleic acid and 12,13-EOA returned to control values during the remainder of the 60-min exposure, whereas the positive inotropic response to 12,13-DHOA was maintained until washout. Sustained arrhythmias and negative inotropic actions were not observed with any of the three compounds. Subsequently, the monoepoxides were infused into conscious rats (35 mg/kg/h) while blood pressure, heart rate, and EKG were monitored for 24 h using biotelemetry techniques. The only effect observed was a slight decline in blood pressure. Thus, current data suggest that linoleic acid and its oxidative metabolites do not have direct cardiotoxic effects during acute exposure.
