A model of high-energy phosphate depletion was developed in the normoxic isovolumic rat heart perfused with acetate, 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG), and insulin. Intracellular phosphorylation of 2DG abstracts phosphorus from its normal pathways. This results in a decrease of high-energy phosphates without any increase in Pi. During the first 15 min of 2DG phosphorylation, the changes in ATP, Pi, and intracellular pH (pHi) were slight, and work was unaltered, although phosphocreatine (PCr) concentration dropped by 50%. After 45 min, the heart reached a new steady state characterized by a drastic reduction in both PCr and ATP: PCr was 15% of control, and in most hearts ATP became invisible on the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. Nevertheless, the heart still developed 65% of its original systolic pressure, whereas diastolic pressure was unchanged. Oxygen consumption per unit work remained constant during 2DG perfusion. This is, to our knowledge, the first experimental model of sustained cardiac contractility at such low contents of both ATP and PCr. However, our results are compatible with present knowledge of the cytosolic energy transfer by PCr and of the control of force in myofilaments.
