Abstract

Rat adaptation to repeated periods of hypobaric hypoxia has been found to prevent the occurrence of ischemic and reperfusion ventricular arrhythmias on a 10-minte coronary artery occlusion model. Inhibition of delta-opioid receptors by intravenous administration of the selective delta-opioid antagonist TIPP (psi) in a dose of 0.5 mg/kg, intravenously (i.v.), completely abolished the antiarrhythmic effect of adaptation to hypoxia. Inhibition of mu-opioid receptors by CTAP (0.5 mg/kg, i.v.) or kappa-receptors by nor-binaltorphimine (9 mg/kg i.v.) had no effect on the incidence cardiac rhythm disturbances in adapted rats during coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion. Therefore, these findings suggest that delta-opioid receptors play an important role in inhibiting arrhythmia formation in this model.
