Research Abstract |
In this study, we propose the new analytical method of metabolites in the heart using labeled fatty acid derivatives and the myocardial function study by the quantitative assessment of the separated metabolic fractions. The used radiopharmaceutical is 9MPA(15-(p-[1-125]iodophenyl)-9-methylpenta decanoic acid), which is designed to inhibit the β-oxidative metabolic process with containing methyl-branch at the odd-numbered position. In result, we have demonstrated the separation system of myocardial metabolites by two-dimensional TLC method, which showed the well-separation of the main two type myocardial metabolites --storage type metabolites(triglycerides) and β-oxidation type metabolites --on the same TLC plates and then have shown the evaluating method of the myocardial function by the radioactivity measurement of each separated fraction. Further, we have applied the above method to the CHF(chronic heart failure) heart, which is a rat model of dilated cardiomyopathy induced by autoimmune myocarditis. It has been shown that in the CHF heart, the storage metabolic route was mainly damaged.
