Abstract
Myocardial infarction is the number one killer disease in many parts of the world. The cardioprotective effect of Marutham, a polyherbal formulation on serum and heart tissue lipids, serum lipoproteins and heart membrane bound enzymes in isoproterenol induced myocardial infarction was studied in Wistar rats. Pretreatment with Marutham at different doses of 30, 60 and 90 mg kgâ 1 to isoproterenol treated rats significantly prevented the altered lipid profile and membrane bound enzymes to near normal status. The results of our study showed the cardioprotective potential of Marutham on isoproterenol induced myocardial infarction in rats.
