Protective Effects of 7‐Hydroxycoumarin on Dyslipidemia and Cardiac Hypertrophy in Isoproterenol‐Induced Myocardial Infarction in Rats
Tóm tắt
This study evaluates the protective effects of 7‐hydroxycoumarin (7‐HC) on dyslipidemia and cardiac hypertrophy in isoproterenol (ISO) induced myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. Rats were pre‐ and co treated with 7‐HC (16 mg/kg) daily for 8 days. ISO (100 mg/kg) was subcutaneously injected into rats on seventh and eighth days to induce MI. Increased activity/levels of serum creatine kinase‐MB (CK‐MB), troponin‐T, plasma lipid peroxidation products, and altered levels of lipids in the serum and heart and serum lipoproteins were noted in ISO‐induced rats. ISO‐induced myocardial infarcted rats revealed increased hypertrophy (cardiac and left ventricular) and hepatic 3‐hydroxyl 3‐methylglutaryl‐coenzyme‐A reductase (HMG‐CoA reductase) activity. Pre and cotreatment with 7‐HC revealed significant protective effects on all the biochemical parameters evaluated. The in vitro study demonstrated its free radical scavenging property. Thus, 7‐HC protects ISO‐induced MI in rats by its free radical scavenging and antihyperlipidaemic and antihypertrophic properties.
