Pathogenesis of early cardiac myocyte damage after severe crush injury / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM: To study the changes of plasma atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP), endothelin-1 (ET-1) and serum cardiac troponin I(cTnI) levels and the effects of ANP and ET-1 on myocardium in crush injury rats. METHODS: Crush injury was produced in SD rats,the serum levels of cardiac enzyme and cardiac troponin I,plasma levels of ANP and ET-1 were studied by automated biochemical analyzer,automated chemiluminescence assay and radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: The plasma ET-1 level was much lower ,the levels of plasma ANP and serum cardiac enzyme and cTnI were much higher after crush injury than those of the control group( P
