Protection Effect of Saffower Yellower in Acute Myocardial Ischemic Rats
Objective:To investigate the regulatory effects of saffower yellower on superoxide dismutase(SOD)
malondialdehyed(MDA) and infarction area in acute myocardial ischemic rats.Method: Rats were randomly divided into 5 groups(n=13 each): the controls and the model group(normal saline
ip)
the positive controls [Danshen injection
3.75 g · kg-1
ip) and Saffower Yellower high dose and low dose groups(80
40 mg ·kg-1 ip).The treatment lasted for 7 days respectively.On the 8th day
rats were injected with pituitrin(20 U · kg-1
ip) to induce acute myocardial ischemia.Then the SOD activity and MDA concentration in heart tissues and heart infarction areas in rats were detected.Result: In comparison to group
P<0.05] and suppressed MDA concentration [(0.29±0.08) vs(1.40±0.26) nmol · mg-1
P<0.01];[(0.45±0.15) vs(1.40±0.26) nmol · mg-1
P<0.01] in left ventricle tissues.The infarction areas were decreased in 80 mg · kg-1 saffower yellower group compared to model group [(32.20±2.2)% vs(43.84±6.3)%
P<0.05].Saffower yellower dose dependently reversed these pathological changes significantly.Conclusion: Saffower yellower has protective effect to the pathological impairment in rats with acute myocardial ischemic induced by pituitrin.This is likely related to its anti-oxidation action.
