Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the protective effect of trimetazidine on experimental myocardial ischemia and its mechanism. Methods: Fifty mice received isoproterenol (20 mg?kg -1 ?2 d,ip) were divided into control and treatment groups. The myocyte ultrastructure,serum creatine phosphokinase (CK) activities and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), myocardial malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were observed in 3 groups. Results: Compared with the controls,in 2 groups pretreated with trimetazidine (5 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 and 10 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ? 7 d, ip), the degree of myocardial damage were significantly reduced;the serum CK and LDH were lower;the myocardial MDA was lower;the myocardial SOD was higher. Conclusion: Trimetazidine can significantly reduce the degree of myocardial damage produced by isoproterenol;and it may play an important role in protecting ischemic myocardium, the mechanism may be associated with reduced oxygen free radical production.
