Part Used : เหง้า
Activity : DRUG INTERACTION
Solvent/Active Compound : 70% ethanol
Type of experiment : in vivo
Type of animal : rat
Type of study : -
N(Total) : -
N(Treatment) : -
Sex : -
Age : -
Route : Oral administration
Dose/Conc.(herb) : 100 mg/kg
Duration : -
Type of interaction : Pharmacokinetics
Interaction with drug : Isoproterenol*/Isoprenaline
Dose/Conc.(drug) : 5 mg/kg, i.p.
Result : Positive
Remark : Treatment with A. calamus 100 and 200 mg/kg, and amlodipine demonstrated marked improvement in isoproterenol-induced changes in myocardial architectures. It's protecting effects due to attenuating calcineurin activity, decreased level of NO, LDH, TBARS and increased antioxidant enzyme i.e. SOD, GPx, CAT and GST. However, treatment with A. calamus or amlodipine alone did not alter these parameters. Thus, the result shows that A. calamus attenuates isoproterenol-induced cardiomyopathy.
