Hyperglycemia is known to inhibit ischemic and anesthetic preconditioning. We tested whether hyperglycemia inhibits anesthetic postconditioning with isoflurane and whether this effect is mediated via phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt and nitric oxide signaling. New Zealand white rabbits subjected to 40 minutes of myocardial ischemia, followed by 3 hours of reperfusion were assigned to the following groups: ischemia and reperfusion (I/R), isoflurane (1 minimal alveolar concentration) postconditioning, and isoflurane postconditioning with hyperglycemia (15% dextrose in water infusion). A control group of hyperglycemia + I/R was also included. Levels of MB fraction of creatine kinase (CK-MB) were assessed as an indicator of myocardial damage, and infarct size was evaluated. Akt, iNOS, and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression was assessed by immunoblotting. Determination of nitrite and nitrate levels in the myocardium was also performed. Isoflurane postconditioning reduced infarct size compared with the I/R group: 25% +/- 4% versus 49% +/- 5% (P < 0.01). CK-MB concentrations in the postconditioned animals (124% +/- 14% above baseline levels) were lower than those in the I/R group (236% +/- 9% above baseline levels; P
