PG - 89-93 LID - 10.3969/j.issn.1672-7347.2012.01.016 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of Gingkgo biloba leaf extract (EGb761) induced delayed preconditioning on cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) expression during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion in rats. METHODS: Four groups (10 in each) of Sprague-Dawley male rats were studied. In the sham group, the rats received no treatment. Rats in the ischemia-reperfusion (IR) group were treated with NS (1.0 mL/kg intravenously) 24 h before ischemia. Rats in the M group were treated with EGb761 (100 mg/kg intravenously) 24 h before the ischemia. In the D group , EGb761-treated rats that received the 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD), an inhibitor of mitochondrial KATP channels 15 min before the ischemia. The IR, M, and D groups were subjected to ischemia by 30 min of coronary artery occlusion before 2 h of reperfusion. At the end of the reperfusion, myocardial infarct size was measured. CcO was measured by Western blot. The myocardial ultrastructure was observed under the electron microscope. RESULTS: The infarct size was significantly smaller in the M group [(23.78 +/- 4.82)%] than in the I/R group [(37.87 +/- 5.92)%] (P<0.05). The CcO protein expression in the myocardium was significantly higher in the M group than in the I/R group(P<0.05). Microscopic examination showed less myocardial damage in the M group than that in the I/R group. The infarct size, CcO protein expression, and myocardial damage had no significant difference between the D group and the I/R group (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: EGb761 induced delayed preconditioning attenuates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury possibly through up-regulating CcO expression in rats.
