Cannabinoids can mimic the infarct-reducing effect of early ischemic preconditioning, delayed ischemic preconditioning, and ischemic postconditioning against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion. They do this primarily through both CB1 and CB2 receptors. Cannabinoids are also involved in remote preconditioning of the heart. The cannabinoid receptor ligands also exhibit an antiapoptotic effect during...

Objective(s):Paclitaxel is a potent chemotherapy agent with severe side effects, including allergic reactions, cardiovascular problems, complete hair loss, joint and muscle pain, which may limit its use and lower its efficiency. The cardioprotective effect of royal jelly was investigated on paclitaxel-induced damages. Materials and Methods:Adult male Wistar rats were divided into control and te...

Red wines and their grape pomaces are important sources of phenolic compounds. Inhibition plateletaggregation is one the mechanisms proposed for cardioprotective effect compounds fromwine pomace; however, content affected by region, variety winemaking process.In present study, antiplatelet red was related to its content(determined spectrophotometric techniques) profile (determined using HPLC-MS...

Emerging evidence highlights dietary flavonoids and nitrate as candidates that may explain at least part of the cardioprotective effect of a fruit and vegetable diet. Nitric oxide plays a pivotal role in cardiovascular health. Components of a fruit and vegetable diet that are cardioprotective, in part through effects on nitric oxide status, could substantially reduce the cardiovascular risk pro...

The 4-ACGC isolated from BP was prepared to investigate the cardioprotective effects on attenuating chronic heart failure in vivo and in vitro. A chronic heart failure (CHF) rat model was established to investigate the cardioprotective effects of 4-ACGC. From this, several cardiac function indexes were recorded. The inflammatory markers including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Interleukin-6 (...

Aim . To evaluate the effectiveness of morpholinium-methyl-triazolyl-thioacetate (thiotriazoline) as a cardioprotector in patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas who received chemotherapy inclusion anthracyclines. Material and methods Fifty were examined on background antitumor therapy. The divided into 2 following groups: group 1 (n=27) — standard chemotherapy; (n=23) thiotriazoline cardioprotec...
