Objective: In order to recognize the metabolic changes of energy in SIRS and prevent SIRS from developing into MODS, the changes of myocardial cellular structure and metabolic changes of energy were searched in SIRS rats. 

Methods: (1) High-dose endotoxin (LPS) induced the model of SIRS then it was determined that whether the rectal temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, TNF-a in blood, the amount of leukocyte and its classification had some alternations in SIRS rats.  (2) The content of ATP, ADP, AMP in hearts of SIRS rats was measured with the method of HPLC. (3) The pathological changes in SIRS rats were viewed with electron microscope.   Results: (1) The content of ATP ADP and AMP in myocardium cells show a significant reduction in SIRS groups (P<0.05). (2) Under the electron microscope, the mitochondria in myocardium cells of SIRS rats increase in quantity and have disorders in structure. The myocardial fibers are edematous.

Conclusions: Microcirculatory dysfunction, disorders between oxygen delivery (DO2) and oxygen consumption (VO2), impaired energy metabolism, and mitochondrial dysfunction have all played important roles in the development of systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
