[Cardioprotective effect of carnitine and its synthetic analog 3-(2,2,2-trimethylhydrazinium) propionate in rats with experimental myocardial infarction].

Effect of carnitine and its synthetic analogue 3-(2,2,2-trimethylhydrazinium) propionate (THP) has been studied in rats with experimental infarction of myocardium following occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Morphological and biochemical changes were determined within 24 hrs after occlusion. The infarcted area was diminished from 29.
