Popis: This work investigated the effects of 3,4-methylenedioxybenzoyl-2-thienylhydrazone (LASSBio-294) treatment on the contractile response of soleus (SOL) muscle from rats submitted to myocardial infarction (MI).Following coronary artery ligation, LASSBio-294 (2mg/kg, i.p.) or vehicle was administrated once daily for 4 weeks.The run time to fatigue for sham rats was 17.9 ±2.6 min, and it was reduced to 3.3 ± 0.8 min (P0.05) in MI rats. In MI rats treated with LASSBio-294, the time to fatigue was 15.1 ± 3.6 min. During the contractile test, SOL muscles from sham rats showed a response of 7.12 ± 0.54N/cm(2) at 60 Hz, which was decreased to 5.45 ± 0.49 N/cm(2) (P0.05) in MI rats. The contractility of SOL muscles from the MI-LASSBio-294 group was increased to 9.01 ± 0.65N/cm(2). At 16 mM caffeine, the contractility was reduced from 2.31 ± 0.33 to 1.60 ± 0.21 N/cm(2) (P0.05) in the MI group. In SOL muscles from MI-LASSBio-294 rats, the caffeine response was increased to 2.62 ± 0.33 N/cm(2). Moreover, SERCA2a expression in SOL muscles was decreased by 0.31-fold (31%) in the MI group compared to the Sham group (P0.05). In the MI-LASSBio-294 group, it was increased by 1.53-fold (153%) compared to the MI group (P0.05). Meanwhile, the nuclear density in SOL muscles was increased in the MI group compared to the Sham group. Treatment with LASSBio-294 prevented this enhancement of cellular infiltrate.LASSBio-294 treatment prevented the development of muscular fatigue and improved exercise intolerance in rats submitted to MI.
