Article Synopsis
- - Cardiovascular diseases, particularly myocardial infarction (heart attack), are the leading cause of global mortality, prompting research into potential treatments like Momordica charantia (MC), known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
- - This study involved 49 male rats divided into seven groups to assess the impact of MC on heart health after inducing heart attacks using isoprenaline, with positive changes in various cardiac biomarkers and electrocardiogram (ECG) readings observed in MC-treated groups.
- - Results demonstrated that MC administration significantly reduced harmful biomarker levels (e.g., CK-MB, TNF-α) and normalized ECG abnormalities, suggesting that MC has protective effects on heart health during myocardial infarction.
