Background and Objective: Aging plays an important role in cardiovascular diseases. Diminazine is an animal anti-infective drug that has protective effects on cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to investigate the possible cardio-protective effects of Diminazine in aged rats induced by D-galactose through improving lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and cardiac creatine kinase (CK-MB), and lipid profile.
Materials and Methods: 20 male Wistar rats were divided equally into control, Diminazine (DIZE), D-galactose (D-GAL), and D-GAL+DIZE groups. Cardiac hypertrophy was measured. Serum levels of lipid profile and cardiac damage markers were also measured.
Results: Aging caused dyslipidemia with cardiac hypertrophy and significant increases in serum LDH, and CK-MB. Diminazine treatment of aged rats induced significant improvements in cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac markers. This could be explained by the ability of Diminazine to improve triglyceride (TG), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), and high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels.
Conclusion: Diminazine exerts a cardio-protective effect in aging, mainly by improving cardiac hypertrophy and dyslipidemia.
