Electrophysiological effects of resveratrol on autorhythmicity organization in left ventricular outflow tract of guinea pig / 中成药

ABSTRACT

AIM:To study the electrophysiological effects of resveratrol from grape and polygonum cuspidate on autorhythmicity organization in left ventricular outflow tract of guinea pig and its intracellular mechanism.METHODS:In choosing guinea pig weighing 250~300 g,the action potential,including its MDP(maximal diastolic potential),APA(amplitude of AP),Vmax(maximal rate of zero phase depolarization),VDD[velocity of diastolic(phase 4)depolarization],RPF(rate of pacemaker firing)and APD_ 50,APD_ 90(the duration of 50% and 90% repolarization of action potential),were observed and recorded by means of the intracellular microelectrode technique.RESULTS:(1)Resveratrol could reduce the electric activity of left ventricular outflow tract.Resveratrol(30、60、120 ?mol/L)not only significantly decreased APA and Vmax,but also decreased VDD and RPF respectivily(P
