Increased oxidative stress and antioxidant deficit have been suggested to play a major role in isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of alpha-mangostin on the antioxidant defense system and lipid peroxidation against isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction in rats. Induction of rats with ISO (150 mg/kg body weight, ip) for 2 days resulted in a marked elevation in lipid peroxidation, serum marker enzymes (LDH, CPK, GOT, and GPT) and a significant decrease in the activities of endogenous antioxidants (SOD, CAT, GPx, GST, and GSH). Pre-treatment with alpha-mangostin (200 mg/kg of body weight per day) orally for 6 days prior to the ISO administration and 2 days along with ISO administration significantly attenuated these changes when compared to the individual treatment groups. These findings indicate the protective effect of alpha-mangostin on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant tissue defense system during ISO-induced myocardial infarction in rats.  相似文献

This study was designed to examine the effects of grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSP) against myocardial injury (MI) induced by isoproterenol (ISO), in a rat model. Induction of rats with ISO (85 mg/kg body weight, subcutaneously) for 2 days resulted in a significant decrease in the activities of heart mitochondrial enzymes (isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase) and respiratory chain enzymes (NADH dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase). The activities of lysosomal enzymes (alpha-d-glucuronidase, alpha-d-N-acetylglucosaminidase, cathepsin-D, acid phosphatases and alpha-d-galactosidase) were increased significantly in the heart and serum of ISO-induced rats. The prior administration of GSP for 6 days a week for 5 weeks significantly increased the activities of mitochondrial and respiratory chain enzymes and significantly decreased the activities of lysosomal enzymes in the heart tissues of ISO-induced rats, which proves the stress stabilizing action of GSP. Oral administration of grape seed proanthocyanidins alone (50, 100 and 150 mg/kg) to normal rats did not show any significant effect in all the parameters studied. These biochemical functional alterations were supported by the macroscopic enzyme mapping assay of ischemic myocardium. Thus, this study shows that 100 and 150 mg/kg of GSP gives protection against ISO-induced MI and demonstrates that GSP has a significant effect in the protection of heart.  相似文献

Studies on the lipid peroxidation and antioxidant changes and their significance during myocardial injury have provided a new insight into the pathogenesis of heart disease. The heart failure subsequent to myocardial infarction may be associated with an antioxidant deficit as well as increased myocardial oxidative stress. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of the combination of ferulic acid and ascorbic acid on antioxidant defense system and lipid peroxidation against isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial infarction in rats. Induction of rats with isoproterenol (150 mg/kg body weight daily, i.p.) for 2 days resulted in a marked elevation in lipid peroxidation, serum marker enzymes (LDH, CPK, GOT, and GPT), and a significant decrease in activities of endogenous antioxidants (SOD, GPx, GST, CAT, and GSH). Pre-co-treatment with the combination of ferulic acid (20 mg/kg body weight/day) and ascorbic acid (80 mg/kg body weight/day) orally for 6 days, significantly attenuated these changes when compared to the individual treatment groups. Histopathological observations were also in correlation with the biochemical parameters. Thus, ferulic acid and ascorbic acid significantly counteracted the pronounced oxidative stress effect of ISO by the inhibition of lipid peroxidation, restoration of antioxidant status, and myocardial marker enzymes levels. In conclusion, these findings indicate the synergistic protective effect of ferulic acid and ascorbic acid on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense system during ISO-induced myocardial infarction and associated oxidative stress in rats.  相似文献

Therapeutic and/or preventive interventions using phytochemical constituents for ischemic heart disease have gained considerable attention worldwide, mainly due to their antioxidant activity. This study investigated the cardioprotective effect and possible mechanism of juglone, a major constituent of the walnut tree, using an isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial infarction (MI) model in rats. Rats were pretreated for five (5) days with juglone (1, 3 mg/kg, i.p) and atenolol (1 mg/kg, i.p) in separate experiments before inducing myocardial injury by administration of ISO (80 mg/kg, s.c) at an interval of 24 h for 2 consecutive days (4th and 5th day). The cardioprotective effect of juglone was confirmed through a lead II electrocardiograph (ECG), cardiac biomarkers (cTnI, CPK, CK-MB, LDH, ALT and AST) and histopathological study. The results of our present study suggest that prior administration of juglone (1 and 3 mg/kg) proved to be effective as a cardioprotective therapeutic agent in reducing the extent of myocardial damage (induced by ISO) by fortifying the myocardial cell membrane, preventing elevated T-waves, deep Q-waves in the ECG, heart to body weight ratio, infarction and also by normalizing cardiac marker enzymes (cTnI, CPK, CK-MB, LDH, ALT and AST) and histopathological changes, such as inflammation, edema and necrosis. In conclusion, this study has identified phytochemical constituents, in particular juglone, as a potential cardioprotective agent.  相似文献

Preventive and/or therapeutic interventions for ischemic heart disease have gained considerable attention worldwide. We investigated the mechanism(s) underlying cardioprotection of apocynin (APO) and whether it attenuates isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial damage in vivo. Thirty-two male Wistar Albino rats were randomised into four groups (n?=?8 for each group): Group I (Control); Group II (ISO), ISO was given intraperitoneally (ip) (150?mg/kg/d) daily for 2 consecutive days; Group III (APO?+?ISO), APO was applied ip 20?mg/kg 30?min before the first ISO administration and continued for the next 2 d after the second ISO administration; Group IV (ISO?+?APO), after the ISO treatment on days 1 and 2, 20?mg/kg APO was given ip on days 3 and 4. Cardioprotective effects of APO were evaluated by biochemical values, histopathological observations and the antiapoptotic relative proteins. Mean blood pressure, heart rate, and electrocardiography (ECG) were also monitored. Malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), reduced glutathione (GSH), total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), oxidative stress index (OSI), caspase-3 and connexin 43 levels were determined. Major ECG changes were observed in the ISO-treated rats. MDA, TOS, OSI and creatine kinase levels decreased and SOD, CAT, GSH and TAC levels increased, indicating that APO reduced cardiac injury and oxidative stress compared with controls. APO also decreased the number of cardiomyocytes with pyknotic nuclei, inflammatory cell infiltration, intracytoplasmic vacuolisation and myofibrils. APO provides preventive and therapeutic effects on ISO-induced myocardial injury in rats by inhibiting reactive oxygen species production, blocking inflammation and enhancing antioxidant status.  相似文献

Administration of nerve growth factor (NGF) twice daily for 2 days to rats 11 days at the time of the initial injection resulted in a 6.6-fold increase in [3H]thymidine levels of pancreas, when comparison was made to levels of untreated controls. Isoproterenol (ISO), a beta-adrenergic agonist known to produce marked increase in [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA of salivary glands, caused increases in levels of [3H]thymidine in pancreas that were similar in magnitude to those induced by NGF. The combined administration of ISO and NGF did not cause any increase above those observed with either agent alone. Administration of propranolol (3 mg/kg body wt) prior to administration of ISO prevented the usual ISO-induced increase in DNA synthesis, but propranolol in either a 3- or 9-mg/kg body wt dose, caused only a 50% inhibition of NGF-induced thymidine incorporation. In the absence of the submandibular-sublingual glands, the ISO failed to induce the usual high levels of thymidine incorporation, whereas NGF induced the same high levels observed in rats with submandibular glands intact. NGF did not alter the distribution of beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors in the pancreas but did increase norepinephrine when the initial administration was at age 5 days, but not when it was given at age 10 days. Since NGF increased DNA synthesis in the absence of submandibular-sublingual glands, whereas ISO did not, this suggests that ISO requires NGF to induce beta 1-activation and subsequent synthesis and that NGF is a direct activator.  相似文献

Our study evaluates the preventive effect of S-allyl cysteine sulfoxide (SACS) on lipid peroxidative products and enzymic and nonenzymic antioxidants in isoproterenol (ISO) induced myocardial infarction in rats. The male Wistar rats were rendered myocardial infarction by ISO (150 mg kg(-1), once a day for two days). The concentrations of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and lipid hydroperoxides were increased in hearts from ISO-treated rats, whereas the content of enzymic and nonenzymic antioxidants were declined in rats administered ISO. Oral pretreatment with SACS (40 mg kg(-1) and 80 mg kg(-1) daily for a period of 35 days) significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the lipid peroxidative products and significantly (p < 0.05) increased antioxidants in ISO-induced rats. Oral administration of SACS (40 mg kg(-1) and 80 mg kg(-1)) did not show any significant effect in normal rats. Thus, the present study shows that SACS exhibits antilipoperoxidative and antioxidant effects in experimental myocardial infarction.  相似文献

This study was designed to evaluate the preventive effect of naringin in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. Rats were pretreated with naringin (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg body weight) orally for a period of 56 days. After the treatment period, ISO (85 mg/kg body weight) was administered subcutaneously to rats at an interval of 24 h for 2 days. There was a significant increase in the levels of total, ester, and free cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), and free fatty acids (FFA) in serum and heart and decrease in heart phospholipids (PL) in ISO-induced rats. Altered levels of lipoproteins and activities of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-Coenzyme reductase A in liver and heart, lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase and lipoprotein lipase in plasma were also observed in ISO-induced rats. Pretreatment with naringin (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg) for a period of 56 days significantly decreased the levels of total, ester, and free cholesterol, TG, FFA in serum and heart and increased PL in heart. It also minimized the alterations in serum lipoproteins and lipid metabolic enzymes in ISO-induced rats. Thus, naringin has a lipid-lowering effect in ISO-induced MI rats.  相似文献

BackgroundMyocardial infarction (MI) is a lethal manifestation of cardiovascular diseases. Oxidative stress, inflammation, and subsequent cell death are known to play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of MI. Despite tremendous developments in interventional cardiology, there is need for novel drugs for the prevention and treatment of MI. For the development of novel drugs, usage of natural products has gained attention as a therapeutic approach for ischemic myocardial injury. Among many popular plant-derived compounds, Nootkatone (NKT), a natural bioactive sesquiterpene, abundantly found in grapefruit, has attracted attention for its plausible health benefits and pharmacological properties.PurposeThe present study investigated the cardioprotective effects of NKT in rats against MI induced by isoproterenol (ISO), a synthetic catecholamine and β-adrenergic agonist that produces MI in a physiologically relevant manner.MethodsMI was induced in male Wistar albino rats by subcutaneous injection of ISO (85 mg/kg body weight) on 9th and 10th day. Rats were pre- and co-treated with NKT (10 mg/kg) through daily oral administration for eleven days.ResultsISO-induced MI was characterized by a significant decline in cardiac function, increased serum levels of cardiomyocyte injury markers, enhanced oxidative stress, and altered PI3K/Akt and NrF2/Keap1/HO-1 signaling pathways. ISO also elevated the levels of myocardial pro-inflammatory cytokines, promoted lysosomal dysfunction, altered TLR4-NFκB/MAPK signaling, and triggered intrinsic apoptotic pathway in heart tissues. However, NKT administration significantly restored or modulated majority of the altered biochemical and molecular parameters in ISO-treated rats. Furthermore, histopathological observations confirmed the myocardial restoring effect of NKT.ConclusionThe present study concludes the cardioprotective effects and underlying mechanisms of NKT against ISO-induced MI in rats, and suggests that NKT or plants containing NKT could be an alternative to cardioprotective agents in ischemic heart diseases.  相似文献

Virgin, male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to study the production of cardiac failure by a single subcutaneous injection of 85 mg/kg dl-isoproterenol (ISO) and the possible preservation of cardiac function by a pre-treatment of 50 mg/kg verapamil (VER) 5 min prior to 85 mg/kg ISO. At 24 hrs after drug injections cardiac function was assessed in anesthetized, open-chest rats by the measurement of cardiac output and by a volume loading of the heart with a 2 min, 15.3 ml/min jugular vein infusion of Tyrode's solution. Peak cardiac index and peak stroke index were depressed by ISO. VER completely prevented these signs of ISO-induced cardiac failure. A second group of rats was sacrificed 24 hrs after ISO and VER-ISO and their left ventricular calcium contents were determined. ISO caused a significant increase in left ventricular calcium content. VER attenuated the ISO-induced increase in myocardial calcium content, but did not prevent it. This data raises questions as to whether VER's property as a transarcolemmal calcium flux inhibitor was the mechanism of preservation of cardiac function following ISO administration. It is possible that VER may have preserved cardiac function by altering ISO-induced hemodynamic changes in the rat.  相似文献

The present study was designed to evaluate the preventive effects of N-acetyl cysteine on lipid peroxide metabolism in isoproterenol (ISO) induced myocardial infarcted rats. Male albino Wistar rats were pretreated with N-acetyl cysteine (5 and 10 mg/kg) daily for a period of 14 days. After the pretreatment period, ISO (100 mg/kg) was subcutaneously injected to rats twice at an interval of 24 h. Increased activities of serum creatine kinase, creatine kinase-MB, lactate dehydrogenase, and increased intensities of serum lactate dehydrogenase-isoenzyme bands (LDH-1, LDH-2) were observed in ISO-induced rats. The heart lipid peroxidation products were significantly increased, and the antioxidant system was significantly reduced in ISO-induced rats. Pretreatment with N-acetyl cysteine (5 and 10 mg/kg) to ISO-induced rats showed significant effects on all the biochemical parameters studied. Histopathological findings of the myocardium also showed the protective role of N-acetyl cysteine in ISO-induced rats. Furthermore, in vitro study confirmed the potent-free radical scavenging activity of N-acetyl cysteine. The effect at a dose of 10 mg/kg of N-acetyl cysteine was more pronounced than the dose, 5 mg/kg. The results of our study show that N-acetyl cysteine protects the heart against ISO-induced myocardial infarction by its free radical scavenging effect.  相似文献

Both oxidative stress and β-MHC expression are associated with pathological cardiac hypertrophy. β-adrenergic receptor stimulation plays an important role in cardiac hypertrophy. Recent studies have reported a negative interplay between opioid receptors and adrenoceptors in heart. This study investigated the effect of U50,488H (a selective κ-opioid receptor agonist) on myocardial oxidative stress and α- and β-MHC expression in isoproterenol-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Male Wistar rats were administered normal saline (control), isoproterenol (ISO) (5 mg/kg BW s.c. OD), and isoproterenol with U50,488H (0.4 and 0.6 mg/kg BW, i.p. OD) for 14 days. In a separate group, nor-binaltorphimine (nor-BNI) (0.5 mg/kg, BW, i.p.) (κ-receptor antagonist) was administered along with ISO and U50,488H. ISO administration caused significant increase in left ventricular (LV) wall thicknesses, LV mass in echocardiography, heart weight to body weight ratio, and myocyte size as compared to control. Both the doses of U50,488H offered significant protection against these changes. The higher dose of U50,488H significantly prevented ISO-induced increase in myocardial lipid peroxidation and depletion of myocardial antioxidants (glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase), while a similar trend (although not significant) was observed with the lower dose also. ISO-induced myocardial fibrosis was also significantly attenuated by both the doses of U50,488H. Isoproterenol-induced β-MHC expression in the hypertrophied heart was not altered by either doses of U50,488H, however, the latter prevented the loss of myocardial α-MHC expression. All these effects of U50,488H were blocked by nor-BNI. This study provides the evidence that U50,488H reduced oxidative stress and preserved expression of α-MHC in isoproterenol-induced cardiac hypertrophy.  相似文献

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of chronic administration of the alcoholic extract of Terminalia arjuna (TAAE) bark on isoproterenol induced myocardial injury. The TAAE was administered orally to Wistar albino rats (150-200 g) in three different doses, by gastric gavage [3.4 mg/kg: (T1), 6.75 mg/kg: (T2) and 9.75 mg/kg: (T3)] 6 days/week for 4 weeks. At the end of this period, all the animals, except the normal untreated rats that served as the control group, were administered isoproterenol (ISO) 85 mg/kg, S.C., for two consecutive days to induce in vivo myocardial injury. After 48 hours rats were anaesthetized with anaesthetic ether, then sacrificed and the hearts were harvested for biochemical and histological studies. A significant rise in myocardial thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and loss of reduced glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (suggestive of increased oxidative stress) occurred in the hearts subjected to in vivo myocardial ischemic reperfusion injury. The 6.75 mg/kg TAAE treatment group (baseline) shows a significant increase in myocardial TBARS as well as endogenous antioxidants (GSH, SOD, and catalase), but not in the other treatment groups. In in vivo ischemic reperfusion injury of the TAAE treated rats there was a significant decrease in TBARS in all the groups. In 6.75 mg/kg treatment group, a significant rise in the levels of GSH, SOD and catalase were observed, and it shows better recovery profile than the other groups subjected to in vivo ischemic reperfusion injury. In histological studies, all the groups, except the isoproterenol treated group, showed preserved myocardium. The present study demonstrates that the 6.75 mg/kg TAAE augments endogenous antioxidant compounds of the rat heart and also prevents the myocardium from isoproterenol induced myocardial ischemic reperfusion injury.  相似文献

We aimed to explore the change in level of apelin and its receptor APJ during myocardial injury and the therapeutic effects of apelin in myocardial injury. Rat myocardial injury was induced by subcutaneous injection of a high dose of isoproterenol (ISO); apelin and APJ mRNA levels were determined by RT-PCR; APJ protein was determined by Western blot; EIA and RIA were used to measure the apelin content and receptor binding, respectively. Plasma lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and myocardial and plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) contents were higher in ISO-treated hearts than that in controls. ISO-treated rats showed lower +/-LV dp/dt(max) values and higher LVEDP value (all P<0.01), which suggested severe heart failure. As well, the apelin content in plasma, atrial and ventricular myocardium was decreased by 27%, 30% and 25% (P<0.01), respectively. The mRNA levels of apelin and APJ in myocardia were also markedly reduced; but the APJ protein level in myocardia was increased. However, administration of apelin significantly ameliorated myocardial injury and ISO-induced heart failure. Compared with the ISO-alone group, the group given low-dosage apelin (5 nmol/kg/day) had 39% and 66% higher +LV dp/dt(max) and -LV dp/dt(max) values, and 40.7% lower LVEDP value (P<0.01), and the leakage of myocardial LDH and increased MDA content were attenuated (all P<0.01). Interestingly, bolus injections of apelin (10 nmol/kg/day) resulted in potent inotropic effects in ISO-treated rats. ISO-induced myocardial injury resulted in hypoexpression of apelin and its receptor APJ, and the administration of exogenous apelin ameliorated heart failure and myocardial injury. Apelin could have a cardioprotective effect, and the apelin-APJ system may be a new therapeutic target in myocardial injury and heart failure.  相似文献

This study was aimed to evaluate the preventive role of S-allylcysteine (SAC) on mitochondrial and lysosomal enzymes in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced rats. Male albino Wistar rats were pretreated with SAC (50, 100 and 150 mg/kg) daily for a period of 45 days. After the treatment period, ISO (150 mg/kg) was subcutaneously injected to rats at an interval of 24 h for two days. The activities of heart mitochondrial enzymes (isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase) and respiratory chain enzymes (NADH dehydrogenase and cytochrome C oxidase) were decreased significantly (p<0.05) in ISO-induced rats. The activities of lysosomal enzymes (beta-glucuronidase, beta-N-acetyl glucosaminidase, beta-galactosidase, cathepsin-D and acid phosphatase) were increased significantly (p<0.05) in serum and heart of ISO-induced rats. Pretreatment with SAC (100 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg) for a period of 45 days increased significantly (p<0.05) the activities of mitochondrial and respiratory chain enzymes and decreased the activities of lysosomal enzymes significantly (p<0.05) in ISO-induced rats. Oral administration of SAC (50, 100 and 150 mg/kg) for a period of 45 days to normal rats did not show any significant (p<0.05) effect in all the parameters studied. The altered electrocardiogram (ECG) of ISO-treated rats was also restored to near normal by treatment with SAC (100 and 150 mg/kg). These results confirm the efficacy of SAC in alleviating ISO-induced cardiac damage.  相似文献

This study was aimed to evaluate the preventive role of (-)epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) on lysosomal enzymes in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial infarcted rats. Male albino Wistar rats were pretreated with EGCG (30 mg/kg) daily for a period of 21 days. After the treatment period, ISO (100 mg/kg) was subcutaneously injected to rats at intervals of 24h for 2 days. The activities of lysosomal enzymes (beta-glucuronidase, beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, beta-galactosidase, cathepsin-B and cathepsin-D) were increased significantly (P<0.05) in serum and the heart of ISO-induced rats. ISO-induction also resulted in decreased stability of membranes, which was reflected by decreased activities of beta-glucuronidase and cathepsin-D in mitochondrial, nuclear, lysosomal and microsomal fractions. Pretreatment with EGCG daily for a period of 21 days to ISO-induced rats prevented the changes in the activities of these enzymes. Oral treatment with EGCG (30 mg/kg) to normal control rats did not show any significant effect in all the biochemical parameters studied. Thus, the results of our study shows that EGCG protects the lysosomal membrane against ISO-induced cardiac damage. The observed effects might be due to the free radical scavenging and membrane stabilizing properties of EGCG.  相似文献

In albino rats, infarctoid myocardial lesions were produced by intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of isoproterenol (75 mg/kg, during 3 days). In other groups, the descending anterior left coronary artery was ligated. In both experimental settings, the intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of (+/-) propranolol (100-200-300 microg/animal/day, during 7 days) or (+/-) verapamil (40-80-160 microg/animal/day, during 7 days) afforded a significant protection (with the exception of the lowest dose) on the investigated parameters: arrhythmias, ischemic zone (in coronary ligated rats), lactate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase activity of the serum, focal necrosis (in isoproterenol treated rats). This protective activity is lower than that afforded by i.p. administered (+/-) propranolol (5 mg/kg, during seven days) or (+/-) verapamil (5 mg/kg, during seven days). From these data it may be concluded that (+/-) propranolol and (+/-) verapamil have a protective action on the experimental myocardial ischemia and necrosis in rats, not only when the drugs come in direct contact with the heart, but also acting upon the central nervous system.  相似文献
