Results:The physiological parameters like left ventricular developed pressure,end diastolic pressure and working index of isolated rat heart showed significant recovery in DG root extract administrated rat heart,similar to the recovery by POC.Kymogram results showed muscarinic receptor agonist like action for DG methanol root extract,confirmed in rat heart by muscarnic receptor agonist(acetylcholine) and anatoginst(atropine).Administration of DC root extract prior to reperfusion showed better antioxidant status in myocardial tissue homogenate and mitochondrial,complemented by the levels of cardiac specific marker proteins in myocardial tissue and perfusate.Even though DG methanol root extract mimics its action similar to that of Ach,the myocardial protection mediated by the extract was superior to Ach,due to the presence of antioxidants in the crude extract.Conclusions:DG methanol root extract provides myocardial protection towards IRI by stimulating muscarinic receptors.展开更多
