Protective effect of garlic polysaccharide on cardiac myocyte injury by adriamycin / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Aim To observe the protective effects and its mechanisms of Garlic Polysaccharide(GP) on toxic cardiac myocyte induced by adriamycin (ADR). Methods Primary culture neonatal SD rat cardiac myocyte and ADR injury model were established. The activities of several superior fluid and cells enzymes were measured. Using MTT assay and flow cytometry, the apoptotic cardiac myocyte was shown. Results ADR increased the superior fluid creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), and augmented myocardial malondialdehyde (MDA) content, while decreased the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities (P
