Effects of MRF on ISO-induced myocardial injury in vivo. (A) The effects of MRF on the levels of serum cardiac enzymes (CK, AST and LDH). (B) The effects of MRF on the activities of MDA, SOD and CAT in myocardial homogenates in rats. (C) The effects of MRF on the pathological alterations in rat hearts as indicated by hematoxylin and eosin staining (magnification, x200). Data (n=10 per group) are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 and ###P<0.001 vs. the control group; *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 vs. the ISO group. MRF, Myrica rubra flavonoids; Di-ao, Di-ao-xin-xue-kang capsule; ISO, isoproterenol; CK, creatine kinase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; LDH: Lactate dehydrogenase; MDA, malondialdehyde SOD, superoxide dismutase; CAT, catalase.
