Abstract:
Objective To study the effects and mechanism of Huangqi against myocardium injury induced by ischemia and reperfusion in rats.Methods Totally 30 male Sprague-Dauley rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group(C group),ischemia/reperfusion group(I/R group),ischemic pretreatment with Huangqi group(H+I/R group),with 10 rats in each.The left anterior descending(LAD) coronary artery was ligated to establish the ischemia/reperfusion heart model.Huangqi was administered before the model was established in the H+I/R group.The pathologic changes of myocardial tissues(under light and electron microscopy),content of creatine kinase(CK),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),malondialdehyde(MDA) and the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) in serum,as well as activities of Na+K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase in myocardial tissues were observed.Results Light and electron microscopic examination showed that the necrotic degeneration and pathologic changes of myocardiocytes in Huangqi group were significantly milder than those in the model group.The levels of CK,LDH,MDA were decreased significantly in Huangqi group(P
