Summary, etc. |
The aim of this investigation is to determine whether the methanolic extracts of <em>Sargassum wightii</em> can protect rats against isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction. Four different groups of rats (6 rats in each group) were taken; where group 1 comprised of normal untreated rats, group 2 was injected with Isoproterenol (synthetic catecholamine), group 3 was considered as standard and hence, was injected with Isoproterenol + Simvastatin and group 4 was treated with Isoproterenol + <em>Sargassum wightii</em>’s<em> </em>extract. Cardioprotective effects of <em>Sargassum wightii </em>was observed via the changes in the lipid profile, cardio marker enzymes and through histopathological studies. Rats treated with the extract of <em>S</em>. <em>wightii</em> showed a significant reduction in total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, serum triglycerides and increase in HDL- cholesterol level indicating an undamaged myocardial membrane. Likewise, low enzyme activity in <em>Sargassum wightii </em>treated rats clearly indicated the cardioprotective effects of <em>Sargassum wightii. </em>Histopathological studies were also done to observe the changes on the rats at the tissue level and no pathological changes were observed in <em>Sargassum wightii </em>treated rats. Hence, methanolic extract of <em>Sargassum wightii </em>is evidenced to possess cardioprotective activity against myocardial infarction. |
