Objective To investigate if mitochondrial KATP channels are involved in the cardioprotective effects of astragalus membranaceus in immature rabbit hearts. Methods Twenty-four New Zealand white rabbits of both sexes aged 14-21 days weighing 300-350 g were anesthetized and heparinized. The hearts were rapidly removed after thoracotomy and mounted on a Langendorff apparatus via ascending aorta and perfused with oxygenated (95% O2-5% CO2) Krebs-Hensleit buffer (KHB) solution at 60 cm H2O (perfusion pressure) and 38 ℃ . A fluid-filled latex balloon was inserted into left ventricle via left atrium for measurement of left ventricular developed pressure ( LVDP) , Global myocardial ischemia was induced by suspension of perfusion for 30 min followed by 45 min reperfusion. The animals were randomly divided into 3 groups with 8 animals in each group : group A control;group B astragalus and group C astragalus +- 5-HD (a selective inhibitor of the mitochondrial KATP channel). In group B the hearts were perfused with astragalus 40 g? L-1 for 15 min before ischemia. In group C the hearts were perfused with 5-HD 100?mol?L-1 for 5 min followed by 10 min astragalus perfusion before ischemia. In control group the hearts were perfused with only KHB before ischemia. Coronary flow (CF), HR, LVDP and ? dp/dtmax, were measured at 5, 10, 15, 30 and 45 min of reperfusion and recorded. Coronary effluent was collected at 10 min of reperfusion for determination of CK-MB, LDH and CK levels . At the end of 45 min reperfusion the isolated heart was removed for determination of myocardial ATP and iNOS levels and electron microscopic examination.Results In astragalus group (B) LVDP ? dp/dtmax and CF recovered significantly better and myocardial ATP content was significantly higher as compared with group A and C (P

Aim Toexplorewhether1-methylhydan-toin(MH)could inhibit the basal secretion of growth hormone (GH ) and suppress the promoting effect of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH ) in rab-bits.Methods Thirty-sixrabbitswererandomlydi-vided into six experimental groups according to the kind of dosing drugs,namely normal saline group(A), MH group (B ),octreotide group (C ),GHRH group (D),GHRH +MH group(E),GHRH +octreotide group(F),with 6 rabbits in each group.Blood was sampled (1. 0 mL each time)from each rabbit before injecting drugs and 5,15,30,45,60 min after drug administration.Clotting spontaneously,rabbits blood samples were centrifugated for 20 minutes at approxi-mately 1000 ×g and the supernatant was collected. Serum GH concentrations were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay kit(ELISA Kit).Mean-while,the behavior of rabbits in each group after injec-tingdrugswascloselyobserved.Results TheGH level of rabbits in group A at each time point had no significant differences(P>0. 05 ).Group B and group C rabbit GH levels were significantly lower than those of group A (P<0. 05 ),while GH levels in group D were obviously higher than those of group A (P <0. 05 ).Compared with group D,rabbit GH levels in group E and group F decreased markedly(P<0. 05 ). No obvious toxic and side effects had been observed within one week after the experimental rabbits were ad-ministered corresponding drugs by intravenous injec-tion.Conclusions 1-methylhydantoincouldinhibit the basal secretion of GH in rabbits.1-methylhydan-toin could suppress the promoting effect of GHRH in rabbits.
