Abstract:
Objective To study the effects and mechanisms of Lovastatin preconditioning on cardiac myocyte apoptosis in acute ischemic and reperfused (I/R) rat hearts. Methods 24 Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group (C); Lovastatin group (L) treated with lovastatin 15 mg/kg once a day for two weeks; Lovastatin and L-NAME group (N) treated with the same dose of Lovastatin with L group and L-NAME 30 mg/kg once a day for two weeks. Rat heart models of I/R were established with coronary occlusion 30 mintues and reperfusion 30 mintues of the left anterior descending artery after two-week administration. Expression of Bcl-2,Bax protein and myocardium apoptosis were investigated in every group. Results There was no change in blood lipin, expression of Bax protein was increased (P
