Laser fluorimetry of reduced nicotinamide adenine-dinucleotide (NADH) in situ is a new technique used for real-time studies of the degree of reduction of the first link in the mitochondrial respiration chain. We present here the first results obtained in animal experiments and in clinical exploration: In rats, coronary occlusion produces a substantial rise in mitochondrial NADH, followed by a fall below basal level during reperfusion. Tetanic contraction of slow-twitch muscles in rats results in a rise in NADH level higher than that produced by contraction of fast-twitch muscles. During coronary angiography, injection of the contrast medium induces a rise in NADH in patients with a significant degree of coronary stenosis. Intravenous nitroglycerin reduces both left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and NADH fluorescence concomitantly, due to preferential distribution of the coronary blood flow to sub-endocardial layers. Exercise-induced ischaemia results in a decrease of muscular NADH concentration in Mc Ardle syndrome, due to phosphorylase deficiency.
