Conscious pigs underwent a sequence of 10 2-min coronary occlusions, each separated by 2 min of reperfusion, for three consecutive days (days 1, 2, and 3). On day 1, pigs received an i.v. infusion of a combination of antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and N-2 mercaptopropionyl glycine; group II, n = 9), nisoldipine (group III, n = 6), or vehicle (group I [controls], n = 9). In the control group, systolic wall thickening (WTh) in the ischemic-reperfused region on day 1 remained significantly depressed for 4 h after the 10th reperfusion, indicating myocardial "stunning." On days 2 and 3, however, the recovery of WTh improved markedly, so that the total deficit of WTh decreased by 53% on day 2 and 56% on day 3 compared with day 1 (P < 0.01), indicating the development of a powerful cardioprotective response (late preconditioning against stunning). In the anti-oxidant-treated group, the total deficit of WTh on day 1 was 54% less than in the control group (P < 0.01). On day 2, the total deficit of WTh was 85% greater than that observed on day 1 and similar to that observed on day 1 in the control group. On day 3, the total deficit of WTh was 58% less than that noted on day 2 (P < 0.01). In the nisoldipine-treated group, the total deficit of WTh on day 1 was 53% less than that noted in controls (P < 0.01). On days 2 and 3, the total deficit of WTh was similar to the corresponding values in the control group. These results demonstrate that: (a) in the conscious pig, antio...
