The 1H
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) myoglobin (Mb) Val E11 signal provides
a unique opportunity to assess the functional role of Mb in the cell.
On CO infusion in perfused myocardium, the
MbO2 signal at
2.76 parts
per million (ppm) gradually disappears, whereas the corresponding MbCO
signal emerges at
2.26 ppm, reflecting the state of Mb
inhibition. Up to 76.8% MbCO saturation, myocardial O2 consumption
(M
O2) remains
constant, whereas the rate-pressure product (RPP) has already dropped
to 92% of the control level. At 87.6% MbCO saturation, the lactate
formation rate has increased by a factor of two, and
M
O2 begins to decline.
However, the ratio CO/O2 is still
1/10, well below the inhibition threshold for cytochrome oxidase
activity. The M
O2 decline
in the face of an adequate O2
supply and an unperturbed high-energy phosphate level implies that Mb
may play a role in directly regulating respiration, mediated
potentially by a shift in NADH/NAD. Although nitrite inhibits Mb,
nitrite also directly affects the myocardial function.
