Abstract:Objective: The antiapoptotic and antioxidative role of long-term kefir and omega-3 fatty acids and their relationship with cysteine proteases on isoproterenol (ISO) induced myocardial infarction (MI) experimental model was investigated in our study.
Material and Methods: Fifty male Sprague-Dawley rats were evenly divided into five distinct groups (n=10): Control, MI, kefir +MI, omega-3+MI, and kefir+omega 3+MI groups. Kefir 10% (with drinking water) and omega-3 fatty acid (30 mg/day per 100g body weight into t… Show more
