Abstract/OtherAbstract:
AIM OF THE STUDY: This work aims to investigate the effects of HSYA on cardiac function and blood pressure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To evaluate changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR), different groups of pentobarbitone-anesthetized normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were treated with intravenous HSYA (0.1-3mg/kg). Isolated WKY rat hearts in Langendorff system were employed for examining the effect of HSYA on hemodynamic. After 30min equilibration time the isolated hearts were perfused with HSYA (30μmol/L) in a stepwise fashion. Potassium channel inhibitors were used to determine the role of potassium channel activation in HSYA effect. RESULTS: Intravenous injection of the HSYA significantly reduced MAP and HR in both normotensive rats and SHR in a dose-dependent manner. HSYA reduced left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), the maximum rate of increase of left ventricular pressure (+dp/dt(max)) and heart rate (HR) in a dose-dependent manner. HSYA had no remarkable effect on the maximum rate of decrease of left ventricular pressure (-dp/dt(max)); BK(Ca) and K(ATP) blocker can weakened the inhibitory effect of HSYA on heart function and HR, but K(V) and K(ACh) blocker did not significantly weaken the HSYA effects. CONCLUSION: Our results show that HSYA could significantly reduce blood pressure and heart rate, which may be related to activation of BK(Ca) and K(ATP) channels.
