Objective To observe the protective effects of diazoxide-preconditioning on myocardial ischemiareperfusion injury of rats and discuss its possible mechanisms. Methods Fourteen healthy SD rats were randomly divided into two groups（7 each group）,In diazoxide-preconditioning group diazoxide was injected with the dosage of 12.5mg/kg through the vein,and in control group the media with the same amount was only given before ischemia. The left anterior descending branch was ligated for 2 hours. The heart was quickly excised after 2 hours reperfusion to be used for measurement of the quantity of malondialdehyde（MDA）, the activity of superoxide dismutase （SOD）, the size of myocardial infarct area, and the cell apoptosis and ultrastructure in ischemic area. Results Compared with the control group, the quantity of MDA,the percentage of the weight of myocardial infarct area/ischemic area, and the rate of cell apoptosis in the diazoxide-preconditioning group were greatly reduced （P〈0.05, 0. 01）. The damage of cell uhrastructure was obviously alleviated,Conclusion Diazoxide-preconditioning provides evident cardioprotective effect on the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury of rats.
