Gentisic acid protects Sprague-Dawley rats from myocardial infarction through reversing electrocardiographical, biochemical and histopathological abnormalities.
Biochem Biophys Res Commun

Gentisic acid (GA), a cytochrome P450 metabolite of the antiplatelet drug aspirin, exhibits smooth muscle relaxant, antiatherogenic, and antioxidant activities. It also has a protective role in hypertrophic heart failure, suggesting its role in the management of myocardial infarction (MI). This study aimed to explore the protective activity of GA in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced MI in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats in-vivo, followed by mechanistic investigation ex-vivo.

Glucagon can increase the force of contraction (FOC) in, for example, canine hearts. Currently, whether glucagon can also increase the FOC via cAMP-increasing receptors in the human atrium is controversial discussed. Glucagon alone did not (up to 1 µM) raise the FOC in human right atrial preparations (HAP).

Europinidin is a novel anthocyanidin found in the petals of Plumbago europea that exhibits several physiological effects. Research was conducted to assess europinidin's cardioprotective efficacy in a diabetic and myocardial infarction (MI) experimental model. Rat was injected through the intraperitoneal administration of 45 mg/kg of streptozotocin (STZ), while MI was induced by subcutaneously administering 85 mg/kg of isoproterenol (ISP) at 24 and 48 h prior to the sacrifice procedure.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia that is characterized by atrial electrical remodeling. The P2X7 receptor (P2X7R), an ATP-gated ion channel, has been implicated in cardiovascular pathologies; however, its role in atrial electrical remodeling remains unclear. This study investigated whether inhibition of P2X7R could mitigate isoproterenol (ISO)-induced atrial electrical remodeling in rats and explored the underlying mechanisms.

Objectives: In this investigation, the protective effects of hydroxytyrosol (HT) administered prior to myocardial infarction in rats were examined, with a particular focus on its potential roles within the Notch pathway.
Materials And Methods: The animals were categorized into seven groups (n=7): control, myocardial infarction (MI) 6 hr, MI 24 hr, MI 7 day, MI+HT 6 hr, MI+HT 24 hr, MI+HT 7 day. In order to create infarction, the rats received a subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol at a dose of 200 mg/kg.
