Abstract:
To study the antiarrhythmic mechanism of naloxone(Nal),we made an ischemic arrhythmia model by coronary artery ligation in SD rats. The effects of Nal(iv) and intracisternally(ic) and the effect of three endogenous opiate peptides(EOP)antiserums iv on ischemic arrhythmia were evaluated.Results showed that Nal iv and ic could inhibit ischemic arrhythmia but none of three types of EOP an tiserum given iv had this effect.Antiarrhythmic mechanism of naloxone seems to be not ascribed to the antagonizing Peripheral endogenous opiate peptides.
