Background In the present study, nitric oxide (NO) was investigated to see if it mediated effects of nebivolol on apoptosis in the rat myocardial infarction (MI) model. Methods and Results Rats were divided into 3 groups: sham operated (sham-control), Mi-induced (Mi-control) and nebivolol treated (Ml-nebivolol). The initial dose of nebivolol was administrated intravenously (iv) within 10min of post-Mi reperfusion and continued orally for 28 days. NO mediated effects of nebivolol were assessed either in the early (2^<nd> day) or sub-acute (28^<th> day) period of MI by histologic, hemodynamic and biologic studies. Left ventricular (LV) pressure changes were prevented with nebivolol (the increase in LV end-diastolic pressure and the decrease in maximum rise and fall rate of LV pressure (+dp/dt and -dp/dt) was significantly less in Ml-nebivolol). Total and regional apoptotic indexes were significantly lower in the Ml-nebivolol group (10.2 vs 7.1%, respectively on the 2^<nd> day; p=0.004). Although plasma nitrite/nitrate, cyclic guanylate cyclase and peroxynitrite concentrations were high both in Mi-control and Ml-nebivolol groups on the 2^<nd> day, these concentrations were decreased to the basal value on the 28^<th> day in the Ml-nebivolol group. Conclusion As a result, nebivolol treatment (initially by iv within 10min of reperfusion and continued orally) reduced the myocardial apoptosis after MI. This beneficial effect of nebivolol is mediated by NO regulation.
