Abstract

To investigate the therapeutic effects of Qiliqiangxin (QLQX) in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiac dysfunction in vivo. Male mice aged 7~9 weeks were randomly divided into several groups. DOX (4 mg/kg) was injected to induce cardiotoxicity via intraperitoneal administration weekly, and QLQX was given by gavage every day for 4 weeks at a dose of 0.5 g/(kg$\cdot$d). After 4 weeks, echocardiography was performed to detect the cardiac function and it was showed that cardiac function could be significantly improved in mice treated with QLQX versus the saline. These findings indicated that QLQX could function as an intervening treatment for the patients who were treated with DOX.
