Introuction: Uraemia leads to changes in car-diac structure, metabolic remodeling and anaemia, key fac-tors in the development of heart failure in patients with chronic kidney disease. Previous studies have identified abnormalities in mitochondrial function, potentially impair-ing energy provision and enhancing oxidative stress. This study characterised oxidant status and changes in mito-chondrial function in uraemia and the impact of correcting anaemia via intravenous iron therapy. Methods: Experi-mental uraemia was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats via a subtotal nephrectomy and parenteral iron administra-tion given 6 weeks post-surgery. Oxidative stress from tis-sue samples was evaluated by measuring pro-oxidant activ-ities and anti-oxidant capacities in both sham and uraemic animals with and without iron supplementation. Thiobar-bituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), aconitase activ-ity and cardiolipin were measured. Mitochondrial function was assessed using the Seahorse XFp analyser on isolated mitochondria excised from cardiac tissue. Results: Oxida-tive stress in this uraemic model was increased in cardiac tissue (increased GSSG/GSH ratio, TBARS and increased activities of pro-oxidant enzymes). There was no impact on skeletal tissue. Parenteral iron ameliorated oxidative stress by enhancing the anti-oxidant defense system in cardiac tis-sue and skeletal tissue. Examination of respiratory reserve in cardiac mitochondria demonstrated that parenteral iron restored mitochondrial function. This experimental model of uraemia demonstrated a specific oxidative stress on the heart muscle without significant changes in skeletal oxi-dant status. Iron therapy improved anti-oxidant defence system, consequently reducing oxidative stress in the heart and skeletal tissue. There was an improvement in cardiac mitochondrial function. Conclusions: This experimental evidence indicates that iron therapy could reduce vulnera-bility to oxidative stress and potentially improve both car-diac and skeletal functional capacity from improvements in mitochondrial function.
