| Abstract | During restoration of blood flow of the ischemic heart induced by coronary occlusion, free radicals cause lipid peroxidation with myocardial injury. Lipid peroxidation end-products, such as malondialdehyde (MDA), have been used to assess oxygen free radical-mediated injury of the ischemic-reperfused (I/R) myocardium in rats. This experimental study assessed the preventive effect of caffeic acid phenthyl ester (CAPE), antioxidant, on I/R-induced lipid peroxidation in the rat heart. We are also interested in the role of CAPE on glutathione (GSH) levels, an antioxidant whose levels are influenced by oxidative stress. I/R leads to the depletion of GSH which is the major intracellular nonprotein sulphydryl and plays an important role in the maintenance of cellular proteins and lipid in their functional state and acts primarily to protect these important structures against the threat of oxidation. In addition, we also examined morphologic changes in the heart by using light microscopy. The left coronary artery was occluded for 30 min and then reperfused for 120 min more before the experiment was terminated. CAPE (50 μM kg$^{−1}$) was administered 10 min prior to ischemia and during occlusion by infusion. At the end of the reperfusion period, rats were sacrificed, and the heart was quickly removed for biochemical determination and histopathological analysis. I/R was accompanied by a significant increase in MDA production and decrease in GSH content in the rat heart. Administration of CAPE reduced MDA production and prevented depletion of GSH content. These beneficial changes in these biochemical parameters were also associated with parallel changes in histopathological appearance. These findings imply that I/R plays a causal role in heart injury due to overproduction of oxygen radicals or insufficient antioxidant and CAPE exert cardioprotective effects probably by the radical scavenging and antioxidant activities. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
