OBJECTIVE: To observe the protective effects of resveratrol (RES) on the heart function of the rats with adriamycin-induced heart failure. METHOD: Thirty adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: normal control (NC) group, adriamycin (ADR) group, RESL + ADR group, RES(H) + ADR group and RES group. RES of 30, 120, 120 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) was given intraperitoneally (ip) once a day for 3 days in RES(L) + ADR group, RES(H) + ADR group and RES group respectively. The other two groups were given the same amount of normal saline the same way. On the 4h day,ADR of 10 mg x kg(-1) was given intraperitoneally once to induce myocardium injury model. After twenty-four hours, the pathological and biochemical changes of the myocardium were examined. RESULT: As compared with NC group, the MDA, NO and NOS of the ADR group were significantly higher (P < 0.05), and the SOD of the ADR group were markedly lower (P < 0.05). As compared with ADR group, the indexes in RES(L) + ADR group, RES(H) + ADR group were exactly opposing, and took on dose dependance (P < 0.05). Light microscopic morphometry of the heart samples of the rats in ADR + RES(L, H) groups revealed typical diminishing of damage. CONCLUSION: RES can relieve the toxic effects of ADR on myocardium, and the cardioprotective effects may be correlated with its antioxidant activity and downregulation of NO.
