Heart-Protective Effects of Echinodorus grandiflorus in Rabbits That Are Fed a High-cholesterol Diet

Abstract: Excess weight and dyslipidemia are among the most serious health problems in Western societies. These conditions enhance the risk of cardiac disease and have been linked with a higher prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death. The present study investigated the cardioprotective effects of on ventricular remodeling in rabbits that were fed a 1% cholesterol-rich diet. We first obtained an ethanol-soluble fraction of and performed a detailed phytochemical study by liquid chromatography-DAD/ESI-MS. For 60… Show more

“…In Brazil, Plinia cauliflora is an important example, as it has been previously stated to have numerous pharmacological activities (Gasparotto Junior et al, 2019). With Frontiers in Pharmacology frontiersin.org the objective of investigating the effects of P. cauliflora extract on the progression of atherosclerotic disease, we chose to use the classic atherosclerosis model, which involved feeding rabbits with a diet rich in cholesterol (Santiago et al, 2017;Gasparotto et al, 2018;. Currently, rabbits are considered an important pre-clinical model for studying lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis.…”
