Effects of Kangxian Yixin Formula on Plasma Angiotensin Ⅱ and Aldosterone in Rats with Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Objective:To investigate the mechanism of Kangxian Yixin Formula(KXYXF)for inhibiting plasma aldosterone and angiotensin Ⅱin rats with dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM).Method: Free drinking of furazolidone solution(700 mg furazolidone in 1kg of water)was used to establish DCM in rats.The rats were divided into model group
KXYXF high-dose group
KXYXF low-dose group
captopril control group.KXYXF combined with captopril group.The rats were accordingly treated daily with normal saline
KXYXF 18.8 g·kg-1
KXYXF 4.7 g·kg-1
captopril 10.125 mg·kg-1
KXYXF 18.8 g·kg-1combined with captopril 10.125 mg·kg-1ig for 8 weeks.Plasma angiotensin Ⅱ and aldosterone were determined by radioimmunoassay.Result: Aldosterone and plasma Ang Ⅱ were higher in the model group and compared with those in normal group[(159.94±12.03) vs(69.47±7.79) ng·L-1 and(1.23±0.09) vs(0.34±0.11) μg·L-1accordingly
both P<0.05].Compared with the model group
angiotensin Ⅱ and aldosterone in all treated groups(except KXYXF low dose group)were significantly decreased(P<0.05);while the KXYXF high-dose group and the captopril group showed no significant difference(85.23±5.18) vs(87.90±6.02) ng·L-1 and(0.69±0.06) vs(0.74±0.42) μg·L-1 respectively).The KXYXF combined with captopril group showed statistically significant(P<0.05)
the KXYXF low dose group was also significant(P<0.05).Conclusion: KXYXF can interfere with dilated left ventricular remodeling in rats with dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM).This may be related to the inhibition of plasma angiotensin Ⅱ and aldosterone.
