Abstract
Effects of the Rhodiolae rosea extract on the contractility of rat hea rts isolated by the method of Langendorff, the activity of creatine ph osphokinase in the perfusate, and the induction of synthesis of stress proteins in the myocardium were studied after total ischemia and repe rfusion. This adaptogen produced a cardioprotective effect and prevent ed a disturbance of contractility due to ischemia and reperfusion. The possible participation of the inducible stress proteins (hsp-70) in t hese effects is discussed.
