Abstract

The objective of this study was to clarify the ameliorative effect of metformin (MET), carvedilol (CAR), and their combination and the underlying mechanisms in a non-diabetic rat model of isoprenaline (ISO)-induced MI. The adult male Wistar rats were allocated into six groups (n=8). Control group A received saline while control group B received DMSO 0.5% (i.p) for 10 days. ISO-treated group: received ISO (85 mg/kg.i.p.) on the first and second day of the experiment with the injection of normal saline for 10 days from the first day. ISO+MET and ISO+CAR-treated groups: received ISO as previously described and MET (200 mg/kg.i.p.) and CAR (10 mg/kg.i.p.) respectively for 10 days from the first day of the experiment. ISO+MET+CAR-treated group: received ISO, MET, and CAR as previously described. In the ISO group, the rise in serum cardiac biomarkers cTn-I and LDH provided evidence of MI. In addition, cardiac MDA, IL6, caspase-3, and Bax gene levels were significantly elevated, while cardiac SOD, GSH, pAMPK, eNOS, Bcl-2 gene, and Bcl-2/Bax ratio levels were significantly reduced with histopathological changes in cardiac tissue. Whereas posttreatment with MET, CAR, and their combination significantly reversed these overwhelming ISO-induced damaging effects on the heart. In conclusion, MET, CAR, and their combination could improve myocardial injury in ISO-induced MI through AMPK signaling pathway activation, and anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant mechanisms. Subsequently, promote the recovery of cardiomyocyte function.
