Chlorpromazine-induced cardiomyopathy in rats
Tóm tắt
We studied the chronic effects of chlorpromazine (CPZ) on the myocardium of rats using light and electron microscopy. Wistar strain rats were divided into two groups and given either normal saline or CPZ intraperitoneally at a dose of 5 mg/kg body weight/day for 30 consecutive days. Myocardial degeneration, atrophic muscle fiber, and myocardial fibrosis were observed by light microscopy in all CPZ-treated rats. Ultrastructural alterations of the myocardium were also found in all CPZ-treated rats. They consisted of contracted myofibers, mitochondriosis, degenerated mitochondria, dilated sarcoplasmic reticulum, and increased collagen fibers. However, no abnormal histologic or ultrastructural changes were observed in the normal saline-treated rats. We therefore conclude that a chronic administration of a sedative dose of CPZ causes myocardial damage in rats.
