چکیده

BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Dietary intervention on adverse cardiac remodeling after MI has significant clinical relevance. Rosemary leaves are a natural product with antioxidant/anti-inflammatory properties, but its effect on morphology and ventricular function after MI is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS To determine the effect of the dietary supplementation of rosemary leaves on cardiac remodeling after MI, male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups after sham procedure or experimental induced MI: 1) Sham group fed standard chow (SR0, n = 23); 2) Sham group fed standard chow supplemented with 0.02% rosemary (R002) (SR002, n = 23); 3) Sham group fed standard chow supplemented with 0.2% rosemary (R02) (SR02, n = 22); 4) group submitted to MI and fed standard chow (IR0, n = 13); 5) group submitted to MI and fed standard chow supplemented with R002 (IR002, n = 8); and 6) group submitted to MI and fed standard chow supplemented with R02 (IR02, n = 9). After 3 months of the treatment, systolic pressure evaluation, echocardiography and euthanasia were performed. Left ventricular samples were evaluated for: fibrosis, cytokine levels, apoptosis, energy metabolism enzymes, and oxidative stress. Rosemary dietary supplementation attenuated cardiac remodeling by improving energy metabolism and decreasing oxidative stress. Rosemary supplementation of 0.02% improved diastolic function and reduced hypertrophy after MI. Regarding rosemary dose, 0.02% and 0.2% for rats are equivalent to 11 mg and 110 mg for humans, respectively. CONCLUSION Our findings support further investigations of the rosemary use as adjuvant therapy in adverse cardiac remodeling.

The Effect of Eight Weeks of Intermittent Training with Quercetin Encapsulated Nanoparticles on JNK and ERK Apoptosis Regulators in the Rat Model of Myocardial Infarction

Introduction: Restoration of blood flow to the ischemic heart muscle causes infarction and myocyte death. Quercetin can be effective in treating heart disease due to its antioxidant effect, but its use is limited due to its low solubility in water. Quercetin restriction can be removed by embedding it in carrier nanoparticles. The present study was designed to determine the effect of quercetin e...

Kallikrein gene delivery improves cardiac reserve and attenuates remodeling after myocardial infarction.

In this study, we used the somatic gene delivery approach to explore the role of the kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) in cardiac remodeling and apoptosis after myocardial infarction (MI). Rats were subjected to coronary artery ligation to induce MI, and adenovirus carrying the human tissue kallikrein or luciferase gene was injected into the tail vein at 1 week after surgery. Cardiac output gradual...
