Cardiocurative effects of aqueous leaf extracts of Ximenia americana (linn.) and Pappea capensis (eckl. and zeyh.) against myocardial infarction in rats

Different plants are traditionally applied in the treatment of different diseases, including chest pains, hypertension, and inflammation, among others. This study scientifically evaluated curative effects X. americana P. capensis leaf aqueous extracts rats induced with myocardial infarction. The were randomly distributed as follows: Normal control group, consisting treated oral normal saline; Negative comprising MI Positive orally propranolol (10 mg/Kg bw); three experimental groups plant at dose levels 150, 200 250 mg/kg bw. study’s findings demonstrated that there was a significant reduction amounts cTnT, LDH, CK-MB, T-cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, malondialdehyde, well increase HDL, catalase, SOD, glutathione peroxidase compared to negative rats. Additionally, LC-MS analysis revealed presence flavonoids, tannins, phenolics, which could explain observed cardiocurative effects. concluded possess activities However, further studies on isolated fractions phytochemicals present recommended. provides preliminary data useful development pure safe cardioactive compounds.
