Abstract
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) refers to heart muscle failure due
to cellular and tissue structural damage following coronary revascularization.
Myocardial I/R injury is increasing in cats and dogs, kept as pets. The
occurrence of MIRI is complicated, and various pathways are possible. Therefore,
it is urgent to further explore the mechanism of disease occurrence and
development and find key regulatory factors to achieve the goal for reducing
MIRI. In this study, MIRI model was established in SD rats through coronary
artery ligation and randomized the rats into the model group (MIRI), the
trimetazidine group (TMZ), the trimetazidine combined with diazepam treatment
group (TMZ+DZ), and the trimetazidine combined with 5-hydroxytryptamine
treatment group (TMZ+5-HD). Experimental results indicated that TMZ+DZ
significantly reduced myocardial cell apoptosis and inflammation levels in MIRI
rats, lowered Creatine Kinase (CK), Creatine Kinase MB Isoenzyme (CK-MB),
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), and ROS levels, and decreased myocardial infarct
size and mass. While TMZ and TMZ+5-HD also improved these indicators, the
therapeutic effect of TMZ+DZ was notably superior to the other two treatment
groups. The results suggest that the
combination therapy of trimetazidine and diazepam ameliorated myocardial damage
in MIRI rats, providing experimental evidence for the treatment of MIRI with the
combination therapy of trimetazidine and diazepam.
