Article Title: Pretreatment of Tribulus terrestris L. causes anti-ischemic cardioprotection through MAPK mediated anti-apoptotic pathway in rat.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4. Effect of TTM on Electrocardiogram patterns. Electrocardiogram of control rats showed normal ECG patterns, and isoproterenol treatment (85 mg/kg) showed a marked ST-segment elevation. Pretreatment of TTM (250 and 500 mg/kg) prior to isoproterenol treatment showed near normal ECG patterns. There was an increase in heart rate on isoproterenol treatment and TTM (250 and 500 mg/kg) pretreatment prior to isoproterenol treatment was able to normalize the increase in heart rate. Rats were pretreated with TTM 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight and positive control (propranolol) 15 mg/kg body weight for 21 days. Isoproterenol was injected, and after 24 h, rats were anaesthetised using ketamine (65 mg/kg body weight) and xylazine (5 mg/kg body weight) and subjected to ECG analysis.

B) (i) Mean ± SEM heart rate data (values also in ) and (ii) heart rate normalised to no ISO. C) (i) Mean ± SEM PR interval data (values also in ) and (ii) PR interval normalised to no ISO. D) (i) Mean ± SEM QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) (values also in ) and (ii) QT interval corrected for heart rate normalised to no ISO. Statistics performed on raw data by paired Student’s T-test to no ISO, P <0.05 taken as significant denoted by *.

Article Snippet: The ECG data from the last 1 min of the 15 min period collected on both day 0 and day 4 were averaged using the advanced ECG analysis module (iWorx) and exported to Origin6.1 (OriginLab) for RR interval, heart rate, PR interval and QT interval measurement, with correction for heart rate using the Framingham method [ ].
