Abstract
Cardiac necrosis was produced in rats by administering isoproterenol sulphate (85 mg/kg, sc for 4 days). The myocardial damage was proved by observing the elevated levels of serum aspartate amino-transferase, lactate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase and the changes were confirmed by histopathology of the tissue. Both aspartate and glutamate (100 mg/kg, ip) significantly reduced the elevated levels of these enzymes. The average degree of cardiac necrosis produced in these rats when observed macroscopically and histologically was also found to be significantly reduced on pretreatment with aspartate and glutamate.
