Preventive effects of caffeic acid on lipids, lipoproteins and glycoproteins in isoproterenol induced myocardial infarcted rats

► Dietary phenolic compound intake is inversely related to cardiovascular diseases. ► Myocardial infarction affects a large proportion in the world. ► Isoproterenol induction alters the levels of lipids, lipoproteins and glycoproteins. ► Caffeic acid pretreatment maintains lipids, lipoproteins and glycoproteins. ► Thus, caffeic acid prevents myocardial infarction.
