Abstract
1. 1.The right ventricles of pig heart were perfused with hypoxic blood and the left ventricles were perfused with normally ventilated arterial blood. 2. 2.Free carnitine and short-chain acylcarnitines in hypoxic ventricles were lower than in perfused controls, and much lower than in non-perfused heart. 3. 3.Acetylcarnitine levels decreased and the branched-chain acylcarnitines and propionylcarnitine were elevated in the hypoxic perfused ventricles. 4. 4.These data indicate that both hypoxia and anaesthesia caused loss of carnitine and short-chain acylcarnitines from the heart and hypoxia also changed the distribution of short-chain acylcarnitines in the heart.
