Abstract: Objective: To study the protective effects of Haematococcus pluvialis (H. pluvialis) on myocardial injury of rats induced by endurance and intensive exercise.Methods: The model was based on intensive endurance training. Sixty-five male aged 42 days Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:control group (C group), general training group (M group), low dose H. pluvialis + training group (HM I group), middle dose H. Pluvialis + training group (HM Ⅱ group), high dose H. pluvialis + training group (HM Ⅲ group). Each group included 12 rats, and the rats were assigned to go on a 42-day swimming training regime. Professional gavage were taken daily. The rats in HM I, HM Ⅱ and HM Ⅲ group were treated with H. pluvialis at the doses of 0.067,0.133 and 0.4 g/kg by ig at 5 ml/kg and the normal saline were given to other groups. After a 42-day swimming training regime, myocardial injury markers such as serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), myocardial superoxide dismutase(SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected, the biochemical indexes such as serum and myocardial endothelin (ET) and calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP)were detected.Results: Serum ALT, lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), creatine kinase(CK), a-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase(a-HBDH), ET, myocardial MDA and ET in M group were significantly higher than those in C group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The myocardial SOD activity and the myocardial and serum CGRP in M group were significantly lower than those in C group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The contents of serum ALT, LDH and CK in HM groups were lower than those in the M group but there was no significant difference between the two groups. Compared with M group, H. pluvialis could decrease the levels of serum a-HBDH, ET and myocardial ET in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The above mentioned three parameters in HM Ⅲ group were lower than those in HM I group (P<0.05). H. pluvialis could decrease the levels of myocardial MDA and increase the levels of myocardial SOD activity and serum or myocardial CGRP in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion: The different doses of H.pluvialis can effectively reduce the free radicals caused by endurance and intensive training and enhance the immune function. Meanwhile H.pluvialis is able to guarantee the relative balance in ET an CGRP`s concentration. Therefore, the myocardial lipid peroxidation and myocardial injury are encumbered. Additionaly, high dose of H. pluvialis is proven to be the most effective.
