Cardioprotective effect of Sanguisorba minor against isoprenaline-induced myocardial infarction in rats by Azar Hosseini, Azar Hosseini, Atieh Ghorbani, Mohaddeseh Sadat Alavi, Nima Forouhi, Arezoo Rajabian, Samaneh Boroumand-Noughabi, Amirhossein Sahebkar, Amirhossein Sahebkar, Ali H. Eid

“…Importantly, the extract abolished isoprenaline-induced MI by elevating SOD and catalase (p < 0.001), reducing levels of MDA, and diminishing levels of cTnT, LDH, CK-MB, and CPK cardiac markers (p < 0.001). Histopathological studies of the cardiac tissue showed isoprenaline-induced injury that was significantly attenuated by the extract.Conclusion: Our results suggest that S. minor could abrogate isoprenaline-induced cardiac toxicity due to its ability to mitigate oxidative stress.…”
