(Breadfruit) could Reverse Myocardial Infarction Through the Normalization of the Oxygen Haemoglobin Dissociation Curve.

Objective: The study was performed to assess if hematological mechanisms such as blood flow modulation, P50 and Oxygen haemoglobin dissociation are involved in Artocarpus altilis leaf extract amelioration of Isoproterenol-Induced Myocardial Damage in rats.

Methods: Twenty (20) adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups. Group 1 served as the control, group 3 and 5 received 50 and 100 mg/kg Artocarpus altilis water extract, respectively, after being induced with Isoproterenol twice (85 mg/ kg) at a 24-hour period.
