Abstract

Background: We. previously showed that caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) attenuated NO production, reduced apoptosis, diminished serum CK and AST activities, and is cardio-protective in rat heart subjected to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). We now studied the short-term cardio-protective effect of CAPE in an I/R rat heart model.
