The present study was designed to evaluate the preventive effects of zingerone on circulatory lipid peroxides and nonenzymatic antioxidants in isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarcted rats. Rats were pretreated with zingerone (6 mg/kg body weight) daily for a period of 14 days and were then induced myocardial infarction with isoproterenol (100 mg/kg body weight) on 15th and 16th day. Increased intensities of serum lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes 1 and 2 bands enhanced plasma lipid peroxidation products and lowered nonenzymatic antioxidant system were noted in isoproterenol-induced rats. Pretreatment with zingerone daily for 14 days revealed significant preventive effects on the electrophoretic and biochemical parameters evaluated in isoproterenol-induced rats. Furthermore, the in vitro study confirmed the potent antioxidant activity of zingerone. The results of our study showed that zingerone protected the rat's heart against isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction by its antioxidant effect. (C) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
