Abstract

The role of resveratrol (Res) in inflammation induced by ischemia/reperfusion is not well understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether Res modulates neutrophil accumulation and tumor necrosis factor‑α (TNF‑α) induction in an ischemia/reperfusion‑injured rat heart model. The rats were randomly exposed to sham surgery, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) alone, MI/R + Res, MI/R + Res + L‑NG‑nitroarginine methyl ester (L‑NAME) and MI/R + Res + methylene blue (MB). The results demonstrated that compared with MI/R, Res reduced the myocardial infarct area, myocardial myeloperoxidase levels, serum creatinine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase levels, and serum and myocardial TNF‑α production. All the effects of Res demonstrated were inhibited by L‑NAME (a nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor) and MB [a cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) inhibitor]. Thus, Res produces cardioprotective and anti‑inflammatory effects. These effects may be associated with an increase in NO production, the inhibition of neutrophil accumulation, TNF‑α induction and cGMP signaling pathways in myocardium subjected to MI/R.
