the results obtained show that cop in both series of experiments increased cardiac work and improved some myocardial metabolic parameters ( delta redox potential across the heart , lactate/pyruvate ratio , excess lactate ) probably by enhancing the myocardial o2 supply-consumption ratio , and consequently increasing the amount of o2 available for energetic reactions in the cardiac muscle and possibly in other tissues as well .
