Oxyresveratrol was administered by oral gavage at doses of 10 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, once a day for 5 days. On the fourth and fifth days, 180 mg/kg isoproterenol was administered intraperitoneally to the OXY treatment group and control groups. Twenty-four hours after the last isoproterenol application, blood and heart tissue were taken under anesthesia and transferred to -80 degrees and formalin for biochemical and histopathological studies. CK-MB and TnI levels were measured in serum obtained from blood. In the heart tissue, antioxidant parameters, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and histopathological and stereological evaluations were performed. Oxyresveratrol has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity depending on the dose. Oxyresveratrol showed potent protective effect against isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction. It has been proven that at all doses of oxyresveratrol, statistically, isoproterenol decreased the MDA level, which was one of the oxidative stress markers, compared to the control group, and increased SOD activity and GSH levels. Similar to the biochemically determined parameters, oxyresveratrol treatment was also found to have a protective effect at the cell level, histopathologically and stereologically.
