[Protective effect of salvianolic acid a on ischemia-reperfusion induced injury in isolated rat heart].

The protective effect of salvianolic acid A (Sal A) on cardiac ischemia-reperfusion induced injury was studied on the isolated rat heart. The results indicate that Sal A can reduce the occurence of ventricular fibrillation, decrease the cellular LDH leaking and reduce the concentration of lipid peroxidation product-MDA significantly in ischemia-reperfused cardiac tissue. The possible machenism in decreasing ischemia-reperfusion injury of Sal A was discussed.
