Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: Compared with the sham-operation group, ejection fraction (EF) and fraction shortening (FS) rate significantly decreased in the model group (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, EF and FS rate significantly increased in the HAR group, showing statistical difference (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in activities of serum iNOS, eNOS, or tSOD among all groups (P > 0.05). Compared with the sham-operation group, iNOS activities and MDA contents significantly increased in the myocardial tissue of the model group (P < 0.01), activities of eNOS and tSOD significant decreased (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, iNOS activities in the myocardial tissue, MDA contents both in serum and the myocardial tissue significantly decreased (P < 0.05), activities of eNOS and tSOD significantly increased in the HAR group (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in each index between the CDDP group and the HAR group (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: HAR could significantly improve cardiac functions of AMI rats. Its roles might be associated with regulating imbalanced iNOS/eNOS expressions and alleviating peroxidation damage of the myocardial tissue.
