چکیده
BACKGROUND Studies have reported antioxidant effect of oleuropein in isolated rat heart. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to investigate whether perfusion of isolated rat heart with oleuropein, before induction of ischemia or at the onset of reperfusion, had any effect on the hemodynamic parameters, infarct size and biochemical factors following ischemic - reperfusion injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups: the control groups (Con-P and Con-T groups), O10-P and O50-P groups perfused with 10 and 50 μg/g heart oleuropein 5 min before the induction of ischemia and O10-T and O50-T groups perfused with 10 and 50 μg/g heart oleuropein at the beginning of the reperfusion, respectively. All hearts were subjected to 30 min global ischemia and 90 min reperfusion. Hemodynamic parameters were monitored throughout the experiment. The creatine kinase (CK) and malondialdehyde (MDA) level of coronary outflow were assayed and the infarct size measured at the end of reperfusion. RESULTS We found hemodynamic parameters namely heart rate, left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP), left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), ±dp/dt and coronary outflow significantly improved in all groups that received oleuropein compared to the control groups. Also, the infarct size was smaller and the coronary outflow levels of CK and MDA were lower in the oleuropein groups compared to the control groups. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that perfusion of isolated rat heart with oleuropein would lead to improved myocardial dysfunction following ischemic-reperfusion injury. Our findings confirm the antioxidant potential of oleuropein.

Background: Calcium overload and free radical mediated damage in the mitochondria is the most important pathological changes associated with myocardial ischemic-reperfusion injury. The verapamil post-treatment has been previously reported to prevent reperfusion-induced myocardial injury but functional recovery may be delayed due to the drug's inherent direct myocardial depression effect. In the...

Objective(s): Chronic diabetes impedes cardioprotection in reperfusion injury and hence protecting the diabetic heart would have important outcomes. In this study, we evaluated whether combined postconditioning with ischemia and cyclosporine-A can restore oxidative stress and histopathological changes in reperfusion injury of the diabetic myocardium.

Previous studies have reported that oleuropein, the major constituent of olive leaves, has cardioprotective effects. There is no report related to oleuropein and ischemic-reperfusion injuries (cardiac dysfunction and myocardial infarction) as well as preconditioning in rat hearts. 56 male Wistar rats were divided into 7 groups (n=8). Group 1 as the control group and groups 2 to 7 as the treatme...
