Objective To investigate the mechanism of intracellular calcium and other ions disturbance by measuring the activity of Ca 2+ adenosine triphosphatase (Ca 2+ ATPase) and Na + K + adenosine triphosphatase (Na + K + ATPase) Methods Model of fetal rats ischemia and reperfusion was established The duration of ischemia was 15,30,45 and 60mins respectively;after ischemia for 15 mins, reperfusion for 1,4,8,15 and 24 hours There were 7 11 fetal rats sacrificed at different time points respectively, 12 rats in sham for control The mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulium (microsomia) were estracted and the activity of the enzyme was measured Results In the ischemia group: with the development of ischemia, the activity of Ca 2+ ATPase in mitochondria decreased gradually ( P

In this study, it is to compare the effectiveness of prevention against and treatment of doxorubicin (DOX) induced cardiotoxicity by dexrazoxane and schisandrin B (Sch B) in rats. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into the following 6 groups: normal saline group, DOX group, DOX+DEX group, DOX+Sch B (80 mg x kg(-1)) group, DOX+Sch B (40 mg x kg(-1)) group and DOX+Sch B (20 mg x kg(-1)) group. The results showed that Sch B could combat the increase of myocardial enzymes in peripheral blood, decrease of the enzyme activity of myocardial tissue antioxidant enzymes and disorders of systolic and diastolic function of heart in rats intravenously injected with doxorubicin (15 mg x kg(-1)). Sch B was better than DEX in protecting rat against DOX-induced the symptoms. Sch B could protect rat against DOX-induced acute cardiomyopathy and has clinical potential applications.
