Experimental studies on antiarrhythmic effect of jumi extraction / 中国应用生理学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>AIM</b>To investigate the antiarrhythmic effect of jumi (JM) extraction.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The conventional antiarrhythmic methods were used.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Administration of JM extraction reduced the occurrence of ventricular fibrillation induced by chloroform in a dose-dependent manner in mice. Quinidine significantly decreased the number of ventricular premature beats and ventricular tachycardia, shortened the duration of arrhythmia in aconitine-treated rats. But JM extraction had no effect on aconitine-induced arrhythmia. Compared with control, arrhythmia score was lower in ischemia/reperfusion rats which pretreated with 2.0 g/kg of JM extraction.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>JM extraction has obvious protection effects in chloroform- and ischemia-induced arrhythmia, but has no effect in aconitine-induced arrhythmia.</p>
