Abstract
Cardiac rhythm regulated by micro-macroscopic structures of heart. Pacemaker abnormalities or disruptions in electrical conduction, lead to arrhythmic disorders may be benign, typical, threatening, ultimately fatal, occurs in clinical practice, patients on digitalis, anaesthesia or acute myocardial infarction. Both traditional and genetic animal models are: In-vitro: Isolated ventricular Myocytes, Guinea pig papillary muscles, Patch-Clamp Experiments, Porcine Atrial Myocytes, Guinea pig ventricular myocytes, Guinea pig papillary muscle: action potential and refractory period, Langendorff technique, Arrhythmia by acetylcholine or potassium. Acquired arrhythmia disorders: Transverse Aortic Constriction, Myocardial Ischemia, Complete Heart Block and AV Node Ablation, Chronic Tachypacing, Inflammation, Metabolic and Drug-Induced Arrhythmia. In-Vivo: Chemically induced arrhythmia: Aconitine antagonism, Digoxin-induced arrhythmia, Strophanthin/ouabain-induced arrhythmia, Adrenaline-induced arrhythmia, and Calcium-induced arrhythmia. Electrically induced arrhythmia: Ventricular fibrillation electrical threshold, Arrhythmia through programmed electrical stimulation, sudden coronary death in dogs, Exercise ventricular fibrillation. Genetic Arrhythmia: Channelopathies, Calcium Release Deficiency Syndrome, Long QT Syndrome, Short QT Syndrome, Brugada Syndrome. Genetic with Structural Heart Disease: Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy/Dysplasia, Dilated Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Atrial Fibrillation, Sick Sinus Syndrome, Atrioventricular Block, Preexcitation Syndrome.

Abstract
Animal models are used to better understand the various mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of diseases and explore potential pathways that will aid in discovering therapeutic targets. 3-Nitropropionic Acid (3-NPA) is a neurotoxin used to induce Huntington's disease (HD)-like symptoms in experimental animals. The 3-NPA is a fungus toxin that impairs the complex II (succinate dehydrogenase) activity of the mitochondria and reduces ATP synthesis, leading to excessive production of free radicals resulting in the degeneration of GABAergic medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in the striatum. This is characterized by motor impairments a key clinical manifestation of HD. 3-NPA has the potential to alter several cellular processes, including mitochondrial functions, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and neuroinflammation mimicking HD-like pathogenic conditions in animals. This review strives to provide a new insight towards the 3-NPA induced molecular dysfunctioning in developing an animal model of HD. Moreover, we summarise several preclinical studies that support the use of the 3-NPA-induced models for drug discovery and development in HD. This review is a collection of various articles that were published from 1977 to 2022 on Pubmed (1639), Web of Science (2139), and Scopus (2681), which are related to the 3-NPA induced animal model.

Abstract
(HD) Huntington's disease is a severe hereditary catastrophic neurological disease with an autosomal dominant heritable changes manifested by cognitive, behavioural, and motor progression deficits, resulting in death. Several mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of this complex and rare disease, including excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, neurotransmitters imbalance, and oxidative stress. Silymarin was selected as an investigational drug, due to its numerous activities in current research, it possesses substantial antioxidant and neuroprotective functionalities. The present research attempts, i.p. injections of 3-NPA (10 mg/kg) were given for 21 days to trigger Huntington-like symptoms in rats. The percentage fluctuations in body weight, the footfall counts, and the time required to transverse the beam and motor functions were analyzed at multiple time points. Oxidative stress markers like MDA/LPO, GSH, protein, nitrite, catalase, and superoxide dismutase levels were examined in the striatum region. The current study results conclusively demonstrate that chronic 3-NPA administration significantly decreased the body weight and showed marked abnormalities in motor coordination, locomotion, and increased striatal generation of free radicals. Furthermore, treatment with silymarin (100 & 200 mg/kg/p.o.), mitigated 3-NPA triggered behavioural and biochemical alterations. Our study results could conclude that Silymarin may be advantageous and might develop an adjuvant treatment for the management of Huntington's disease.
