Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of death worldwide, prompting research into potential treatments.
Extracts from the plant Dumont de Courset were analyzed for their effects on platelets and blood clotting, showing promise for cardiovascular health due to the presence of short-chain fatty acids.
The study found that the extract significantly inhibited platelet aggregation and clot formation while also improving blood flow and survival rates in test animals, suggesting its potential use as a natural alternative to synthetic cardiovascular drugs.
