Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) cause secondary myocardial damage following a blood reflow after myocardial infarction. This study aimed to explore oxycodone as a myocardial protector after an I/R injury in rats. Oxycodone reduced myocardial infarction volume, an I/R-induced apoptosis of the cardiomyocytes, the serum levels of CK-MB and LDH. The ejection fraction and fraction shortening in the I/R rats also increased. From the molecular mechanism, it was evident that oxycodone not only decreased the expression levels of Bax, active-caspase
