Protective effects of trigonelline (TRG) isolated from fenugreek seed were evaluated in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial dysfunctions in adult rats and a proteomic approach was applied to understand its mechanism of action. ⋯ For the first time, our study revealed the down-regulation of Hsp27 and αB-crystallin and (CaMKII delta) isoform by TRG. As the test compound prevented the ISO-induced myocardial injury, its therapeutic use may further be explored.
