<jats:p> We tested whether opening of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> (mitoK <jats:sub>ATP</jats:sub> ) channels depolarizes mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ <jats:sub>m</jats:sub> ) and thereby prevents the mitochondrial Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> overload. With the use of a Nipkow disk confocal system, the mitochondrial Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> concentration ([Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> ] <jats:sub>m</jats:sub> ) and ΔΨ <jats:sub>m</jats:sub> in rat ventricular myocytes were measured by loading cells with Rhod-2 and JC-1, respectively. Exposure to ouabain (1 mmol/L) for 30 minutes produced mitochondrial Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> overload, and the intensity of Rhod-2 fluorescence significantly increased to 173±16% of baseline ( <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> <0.001). Treatment of myocytes with the mitoK <jats:sub>ATP</jats:sub> channel opener diazoxide (100 μmol/L) blunted the ouabain-induced mitochondrial Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> overload (131±10% of baseline; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> <0.001 versus ouabain). Moreover, diazoxide significantly depolarized the ΔΨ <jats:sub>m</jats:sub> and reduced the intensity of JC-1 fluorescence during application of ouabain to 89±2% of baseline ( <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> <0.05). These effects of diazoxide were blocked by the mitoK <jats:sub>ATP</jats:sub> channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate (500 μmol/L). These results indicate that opening of mitoK <jats:sub>ATP</jats:sub> channels prevents a mitochondrial Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> overload in association with ΔΨ <jats:sub>m</jats:sub> depolarization and thereby protects myocardium against ischemic damage. </jats:p>
