The preventive effect of fastigial nucleus stimulation on the oxidative damage in rats with myocardial infarction
Objective:To investigate the effect of fastigial nucleus stimulation(FNS) on preventing oxidative damage from myocardium after acute myocardial infarction in rats.Methods:Wistar rats were randomly divided into acute myocardial infarction(AMI)
FNS before AMI model was made(FNS+AMI)
bilateral fastigial nucleus lesion(FNL) before AMI(FNL+AMI) groups.At 24 hours after coronary ligation
blood samples and left ventricular myocardium were obtained for measurment of the activity of lactic dehydrogenase(LDH) and creatine phosphokinase(CK) in serum
as well as myocardial infarct size.At the same time
the malondialdehyde(MDA) level
total anti-oxidative capability (TAOC) and superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity in myocardium were measured too.Results:LDH
CK activities and MDA level in FNS+AMI group were significantly lower than that in AMI group( P <0.01).The infarct size in FNS+AMI group was significantly smaller than that in group AMI( P <0.01).SOD activity and TAOC were significantly increased in FNS+AMI group as compared to AMI group.There was no significant difference between FNL+AMI group and AMI group for all the measurements( P >0.05).Conclusion:FNS can attenuate the damage of myocardium from infarct heart and reduce myocardial infarct size.The mechanism of the protective effect coming from FNS may be related to its antioxidative role.
