Objective: To investigate the effect of Qifu Decoction on heart function of adriamycin-induced cardiac injury in a rat model
and to discuss the mechanism. Method: Heart function was measured by ECG instrument
the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) were detected
and the content of lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde(MDA) were checked by chemical colorimetric method. Result: Compared with the normal group
the heart rate of the rats in the model group was slowed down
the sum of QRS voltage decreased
Q-T interval extended
all with statistically significance(P<0.05). Arrhythmia appeared in a few individuals. Compared with the model group
the heart rate of the rats in Qifu Decoction group and Chinese herb control group was speeded up
the sum of QRS voltage increased
Q-T interval shortened
all with statistically significance(P<0.05). Compared with the normal group
the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were weakened
and the content of MDA increased in the model group
Qifu Decoction group and Chinese herb control group
all with statistically significance(P<0.05). Compared with the model group
the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were strengthened
and the content of MDA decreased in Qifu Decoction group and Chinese herb control group
all with statistically significance(P<0.05). Conclusion: Qifu Decoction can protect the heart from adriamycin in the rat model. Its mechanism may be related with antioxidant stress.
