Abstract
1. The functional effects of the flavonoid luteolin-7-glucoside (LUT) were investigated in Langendorff-rabbit hearts perfused at constant pressure. Repetitive myocardial ischemia was induced by coronary artery ligature and quantified from NADH-fluorescence photography. 2. LUT significantly enhanced left ventricular pressure and the global and relative coronary flow (= global coronary flow/pressure-rate product). 3. LUT significantly diminished epicardial NADH-fluorescence area and intensity. 4. LUT is an inodilator possessing cardioprotective properties. These might be related to an improvement of myocardial perfusion and/or to free radical scavenging properties.Entities:
