effect of crocin on nitric oxide synthase expression in post-ischemic isolated rat heart

abstract
objective: oxidative stress damages cells and brings about the pathogenesis of ischemia/reperfusion injury. this study was carried out to investigate the preconditioning and cardio protective potential effects of crocin and vitamin e by the enos and inos express gene in ischemia/reperfusion in rats. material & methods: male rats were divided into seven groups, namely: sham, control group and experimental groups treated with crocin(10, 20 and 40 mg/kg), vitamin e (100 mg/kg) and combination of crocin (40 mg/kg) with vitamin e (100 mg/kg) that were gavaged the heart was removed and relocated to a langendorff apparatus and subjected to global ischemia and then the left ventricular end diastolic pressure (lvedp) were measured as a hemodynamic parameter. total rna was extracted from heart frozen tissues. rt-pcr technique was performed by specific primers designed for nitric oxide gene and the results were assessed by agarose gel electrophoresis. results: results after ischemia and reperfusion showed that crocin 40 mg/kg produced a significant improvement of lvedp as a mechanical function (p<0.05), associated with a reduction of inos release (p<0.05). the enos mrna levels were significantly higher in crocin-treated 40 mg/kg compared to controls treated by rt-pcr technique. the combination of crocin and vitamin e have shown more effective on the reduction of inos release (p<0.01). conclusion: in the isolated rat heart, protective effect of crocin, may possibly be explained by regulating enos and inos expressions. the results resultsconfirmed the hypothesis that cardioprotective effect of crocin is partly mediated by nitric oxide. this could explain the cardioprotective action of crocin following ischemia and reperfusion.

Background: Liver ischemia / reperfusion Injury (IRI) is one of the major causes of liver failure during various types of liver surgery, trauma and infections. The present study investigates the effect of dexsamethasone on the liver injury and inducible nitric oxide synthase gene expression during hepatic warm ischemia/reperfusion in rats.

Objective(s): Nitric oxide (NO), a product of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), contributes in germ cell apoptosis. This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of Aloe vera gel (AVG) on male Wistar rat reproductive organ, serum NO level, and expression of iNOS gene in leydig cells. Materials and Methods:Adult male Wistar rats (n=36) were used for experiments in three groups. The experim...
full textEffect of endogenous nitric oxide on cardiac ischemic preconditioning in rat
Introduction: Ischemic Preconditioning (IPC) is the phenomen that happens on the heart by one or several short periods of ischemia followed by reperfusion that improve the postischemic recovery of mechanical function. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) may protect the heart from ischemia reperfusion injury by nitric oxide formation. This study investigated the effect of ischemic preconditioni...

Background— Polymorphisms in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene may influence the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD), but data from published studies with individually low statistical power are conflicting. To evaluate the role of polymorphisms in the eNOS gene in IHD, we considered all available studies in a meta-analysis. Methods and Results— Case-control studies evaluating t...
