abstract

objective(s) in this study, effects of chronic administration of oral natural honey against ischemia/reperfusion (i/r)-  induced cardiac arrhythmias were investigated in isolated rat heart. materials and methods male wistar rats were divided into four groups (n= 10-14 rats in each group) and fed with natural honey (1%, 2% and 4% dissolved in the drinking water) for 45 days except for the control group. after anesthesia, the rats’ hearts were isolated quickly, mounted on a langendorff apparatus and perfused with a modified krebs-henseleit solution during stabilization, 30 min regional ischemia followed by 30 min reperfusion. the ecgs were recorded throughout the experiments to analyze cardiac arrhythmias based on the lambeth conventions. results in the ischemic phase, honey (1%) significantly reduced (p<0.05) the number and duration of ventricular tachycardia (vt). honey (1% and 2%) also significantly decreased number of ventricular ectopic beats (vebs). in addition, incidence and duration of reversible ventricular fibrillation (rev vf) were lowered by honey 2% (p<0.05). during reperfusion time, vt incidence was 73% in the control group, however natural honey (1%) decreased it to 22% (p<0.05). honey also produced significant reduction in the incidences of total vf, rev vf, duration and number of vt. conclusion for the first time, the results of present study demonstrated protective effects of chronic oral honey administration against i/r-induced arrhythmias in isolated rat heart. antioxidant activity, the existence of energy sources such as glucose and fructose and improvement of some hemodynamic functions might be responsible for these effects.

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...

Effects of Total Extract of Dracocephalum moldavica on Ischemia/Reperfusion Induced Arrhythmias and Infarct Size in the Isolated Rat Heart

Objective(s) Dracocephalum moldavica (D. moldavica) have been traditionally used as a cardiotonic agent in the folk medicine of some regions of Iran. In the present study, effects of total extract of D. moldavica on ischemia/reperfusion induced arrhythmias and infarct size investigated in isolated rat heart. Materials and Methods The isolated hearts were mounted on a Langendorff apparatus th...

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...
