Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the cardioprotective effects of osajin and pomiferin, two compounds isolated from the fruit of Maclura pomifera, using rat hearts as a model for testing antioxidant therapy against ischemia-reperfusion injury.
- The research involved four groups of Wistar rats, where two groups received the isoflavones, while the other two served as a placebo and control group, with various biochemical and functional heart parameters measured after treatment.
- Results indicated that both osajin and pomiferin improved heart function and decreased oxidative stress, suggesting their potential as protective agents against heart damage caused by ischemia-reperfusion events.
