Myocardial Protection from Ischemia-Reperfusion Damage by the Antioxidant Effect of on Metabolic Syndrome Rats.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) constitute one of the most prevalent health problems worldwide, being strongly associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). Oxidative stress (OS) is present in both CVD and MS. Infusions of (HSL) have antioxidant properties and could therefore decrease the presence of OS in these diseases.
