Cardioprotective Effect of Peperomia pellucida against Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Wistar Rats via Modulation of Electrocardiographic and Cardiac Biomarkers.
Objectives: This study assessed the electrocardiographic pattern and cardiac inflammatory response of doxorubicin-induced myocardial injury in Wistar rats treated with Peperomia pellucida ethanol extract.
Methods: Female Wistar rats (190-200 g) were assigned into five groups of seven rats each. The Group 1 (Control group) was given rat chow and drinking water while the Group 2 (doxorubicin group) received intraperitoneal administration of doxorubicin (2 mg/kg) once weekly for three weeks. The Group 3 (Peperomia pellucida group) received 200 mg/kg of ethanolic extract of Peperomia pellucida daily. Group 4 (Doxorubicin + P. pellucida group) received doxorubicin in addition to Peperomia pellucida. Group 5 (Captopril (50 mg/kg) was administered to another group in addition to P. pellucida while the doxorubicin + captopril group was administered captopril in addition to doxorubicin. Electrical recording and cardiac markers were evaluated.
Results: The results revealed a significant (p < 0.01) elevation of T-wave and altered electrocardiographic parameters in the doxorubicin group than the control, P. pellucida, and other experimental groups. The heart rate, cardiac troponin level, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, angiotensin-converting enzyme activities, and inflammatory biomarkers were significantly (p < 0.01) higher while nitric oxide level was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in the doxorubicin-only group compared to the control. Cardiac cell hypertrophy and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed due to doxorubicin administration. Treatment with P. pellucida extract and captopril reversed these trends and improved the antioxidants and inflammatory activities.
Conclusion: Peperomia pellucida extract improves electrocardiographic pattern, has cardioprotective ability, and prevents doxorubicin-induced myocardial injury probably due to its phytochemical constituents and anti-inflammatory properties.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Pharmacopuncture covers a wide range of basic and clinical science research relevant to all aspects of the biotechnology of integrated approaches using both pharmacology and acupuncture therapeutics, including research involving pharmacology, acupuncture studies and pharmacopuncture studies. The subjects are mainly divided into three categories: pharmacology (applied phytomedicine, plant sciences, pharmacology, toxicology, medicinal plants, traditional medicines, herbal medicine, Sasang constitutional medicine, herbal formulae, foods, agricultural technologies, naturopathy, etc.), acupuncture (acupressure, electroacupuncture, laser acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, etc.), and pharmacopuncture (aqua-acupuncture, meridian pharmacopuncture, eight-principles pharmacopuncture, animal-based pharmacopuncture, mountain ginseng pharmacopuncture, bee venom therapy, needle embedding therapy, implant therapy, etc.). Other categories include chuna treatment, veterinary acupuncture and related animal studies, alternative medicines for treating cancer and cancer-related symptoms, etc. Broader topical coverage on the effects of acupuncture, the medical plants used in traditional and alternative medicine, pharmacological action and other related modalities, such as anthroposophy, homeopathy, ayurveda, bioelectromagnetic therapy, chiropractic, neural therapy and meditation, can be considered to be within the journal’s scope if based on acupoints and meridians. Submissions of original articles, review articles, systematic reviews, case reports, brief reports, opinions, commentaries, medical lectures, letters to the editor, photo-essays, technical notes, and book reviews are encouraged. Providing free access to the full text of all current and archived articles on its website (www.journal.ac), also searchable through a Google Scholar search.
