- Abstract
The potential antiarrhythmic effect of dietary fish meat feeding was investigated in rats. Fish meat, harvested from carps fed experimental foods enriched with essential fatty acids, was mixed with a commercial rat food and fed to rats for 4 weeks. At the end of the feeding period in anesthetized rats myocardial ischemiareperfusion induced arrhythmias were induced by occlusion of the coronary artery for 6 min, followed by reperfusion. Supplying fish meat, rich in n-3 type polyunsaturated fatty acids, significantly decreased the incidence of myocardial ischemia--reperfusion induced arrhythmias in the rat, and increased the survival rate. These results confirm previous investigations that feeding fish oil or fish meat may offer cardioprotective effect, and consumption of the farmed fish, like carp, may result in similar protective effects to the marine food.
