چکیده

The effect of exercise training on cardiovascular mortality is controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a period of treadmill training on the ventricular fibrillation threshold of the isolated rat heart. Trained hearts had higher threshold values during standard, control perfusion conditions, and when exposed to hypoxia, hypoxia plus isoproterenol infusion, or when subjected to coronary artery ligation. Myocardial metabolic studies failed to define the mechanism for the effect of running training. However, in coronary ligated hearts, the content of the arrhythmogenic substance 3',5' cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP) was reduced in the ischemic zone of hearts from trained rats. Cyclic AMP levels were also lower in trained hearts during control perfusions. We conclude that running training increases the resistance of the heart to ventricular fibrillation by mechanisms that are largely unknown, although they may involve cyclic AMP.

Effects of normobaric hyperoxia pretreatment on ischemia-reperfusion injury in regional ischemia model of isolated rat heart

Abstract Introduction: Resent studies have been shown beneficial effects of hyperoxia pretreatment against ischemia-reperfusion injury in different organs. The aim of the present study was to investigate early and late effects of normobaric hyperoxia (≥95% O2) pretreatment on ischemia-reperfusion injuries in isolated rat hearts. Methods: Following 60 and 180 minutes of hyperoxia, rat hearts w...

Exercise training after experimental myocardial infarction increases the ventricular fibrillation threshold before and after the onset of reinfarction in the isolated rat heart.

Previous work has shown that exercise training increases the ventricular fibrillation threshold of the isolated perfused rat heart. The aim of our study was to determine whether exercise training that begins after myocardial infarction can similarly increase the ventricular fibrillation threshold. Rats that had suffered an experimental myocardial infarction were subject to a running training pr...

Acute Administration of Natural Honey Protects Isolated Heart in Normothermic Ischemia

This study intended to assess the efficacy of acute administration of natural honey on cardiac arrhythmias and infarct size when it is used during the normothermic ischemia in isolated rat heart. During 30 min of regional normothermic ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion, the isolated hearts were perfused by a modified drug free Krebs-Henseleit solution (control) or the solution containi...

Protective effect of pharmacologic postconditioning with Natural Honey against left ventricular ischemia/reperfusion-induced arrhythmias in isolated heart of rat

Introduction: This study was aimed to investigate the effects of postconditioning by natural honey on cardiac arrhythmias in the ischemic isolated rat heart. Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups then anesthetized by sodium pentobarbital. The animal hearts were removed and quickly mounted on a Langendorff apparatus and perfused under constant pressure by a modified Krebs-H...
