Chronic ingestion of low doses of ethanol protects the myocardium from ischemic injury by activating adenosine receptors and protein kinase C. We tested the hypothesis that ATP-dependent potassium (KATP) channels mediate these beneficial effects. Dogs were fed with ethanol (1.5 g/kg) or water mixed with dry food twice per day for 12 wk. After they were acutely instrumented for measurement of hemodynamics, dogs received saline (vehicle) or glyburide (0.1 mg/kg iv) and were subjected to 60 min of coronary artery occlusion followed by 3 h of reperfusion. Infarct size (through triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining) was significantly (P < 0.05) reduced to 14 ± 1% of the left ventricular area at risk in ethanol-pretreated dogs compared with controls (25 ± 2%). Glyburide alone did not affect infarct size (25 ± 3%) but abolished the protective effects of ethanol pretreatment (28 ± 3%). No differences in hemodynamics or coronary collateral blood flow (through radioactive microspheres) were observed among groups. The results indicate that KATP channels mediate the protective effects of chronic consumption of ethanol.
