This study analyzed the effects of L-arginine and non-specific nitric oxide (NO) synthase blocker (L-NAME) on structural and metabolic changes in experimental ischemia/reperfusion injury in the rat. Histopathological evaluation of rat tissues after reperfusion was also performed. The animals were divided into four groups: [1] nonischemic control, [2] ischemia 4 hrs/repefusion 30, 60, 120 min, [3] ischemia/reperfusion after L-arginine administration, [4] ischemia/reperfusion, after L-arginine, and L-NAME. L-arginine (500 mg/kg) and L-NAME (75 μmol/rat/day) were administrated orally for 5 days before experiment. Concentrations of free radicals, CD-62P, CD-54 and malonyl dialdehyde (MDA) in tissues, and MDA and NO levels in sera were determined. Free radical levels significantly increased in reperfused skeletal muscle, small and large intestines. In large bowel, reperfusion increased MDA levels and evoked a rise of endotoxin level while NO levels decreased. Histological studies showed an increase in the number of lymphocytes in both intestines. Administration of L-arginine reduced leukocyte adherence associated with ischemia-repefusion injury, decreased the levels of free radicals and MDA in the examined tissues, and inhibited the release of endotoxins into blood. L-arginine-treated animals showed higher serum NO levels and reduced leukocyte bowel infiltration. Concomitant L-NAME administration reduced serum NO and tissue free radicals levels, but did not affect intestinal leukocyte infiltration. L-arginine could ameliorate intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury and constitute a possible protective mechanism by decreasing neutrophil-endothelial interactions, stimulating free radical scavenging and reducing lipid peroxidation.
