Preclinical evaluation of several herbs on cardiovascular disease.
| Study | Methodology | Result | References |
|---|---|---|---|
| To investigate Ginseng's potential to prevent established cardiomyocyte and heart failure | Ginseng was given to rats in drinking water after 4 weeks of prolonged coronary artery ligation when heart failure developed | This study shows that ginseng has a significant ability to reverse cardiac hypertrophy, myocardial remodeling, and heart failure, | [85] |
| To investigate Ginkgo biloba extract enhances cardioprotection in an isoproterenol-induced heart hypertrophic model. | Male Wistar rats were separated into four experimental groups and treated for eight days: 1: The control group was given saline. 2nd was given isoproterenol, 3rd was given Ginkgo biloba extract. 4th received isoproterenol with Ginkgo biloba extract. |
Ginkgo biloba proved effective in decreasing the adverse cardiac events brought on by cardiac hypertrophy. | [86] |
| The anti-hyper lipidemic impact of crude methanolic extracts of Glycine Max on high cholesterol diet-fed albino rats. | For two weeks, male rats were fed a high-cholesterol diet and Glycine max at doses of 400 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg, respectively, as well as atorvastatin 20 mg/kg. | The glycine-consuming group was found to have an anti-hyper lipidemic impact on hyperlipidemic rats and to have cholesterol-lowering property | [87] |
| To examine the preventive effects of Nigella sativa on cadmium cardiotoxicity in albino rats. | Male albino rats were divided into five groups, with one serving as a control and the others receiving varying doses of cadmium chloride for seven days. | It has been shown that Nigella sativa has cardioprotective effects, from harmful substances like cadmium | [88] |
| To examine Cardioprotective action of silymarin in myocardial infarction in albino rats | Wistar albino rats were taken and silymarin was given in three distinct dosages for one week. | Silymarin has cardioprotective action in rats because it inhibits neutrophil infiltration during ischemia-reperfusion and protects endogenous antioxidant enzymes. | [89] |
| Cardioprotective Activity of Moringa oleifera on Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Rats. | female Sprague Dawley rats were separated into five groups and administered doxorubicin with Moringa oleifera Leaf Ethanolic Extract orally for two weeks. | The results demonstrate that Moringa oleifera is effective in preventing cardiotoxicity | [90] |
| Cardiovascular effects of the aqueous extract of Gynostemma pentaphyllum in guinea-pigs. | G. pentaphyllum decoction was administered to guinea pigs at doses of 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg. | Protective effect against pitressin-induced coronary spasms, arrhythmias, etc., indicating that it functions as a cardioprotective agent | [91] |
| Gongronema latifolium (GL) leaf extract protects against dexamethasone-induced myocardial cell injury | Wistar rats were given dexamethasone and dexamethasone plus GL extract subcutaneously to cause myocardial damage, and GL leaf extract orally for 14 days. | Extract has anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective activities as well as an effective free radical blocker with high antioxidant capacity. | [58] |
| To examine the Celosia argentea L. a vasodilator plants. | Three different dosages of Celosia argentea (30, 100, and 300 mg/kg) were tested for hypotensive effects in male Wistar rats. | The findings demonstrated a Hypotensive effect of Celosia argentea in normotensive rats. | [61] |
| To investigate the Gentiana lutea has anti-atherosclerotic properties in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. | STZ rats were given 2% Gentiana lutea root powder orally as a supplement to their usual diet for 30 days. | The findings demonstrated that Gentiana lutea root powder/extract has anti-atherosclerotic properties. | [92] |
| Hypolipidemic Action of Citrus bergamia Juice in wistar rats | Three groups of Wistar rats were formed as follows: control rats with normal cholesterol levels, hypercholesterolemic rats, and hypercholesterolemic rats taking bergamot juice for 30 days. | Results indicate that consumption of C. bergamia may lower the risk of several heart diseases due to its activity as a radical scavenger and hypocholesterolemic properties. | [93] |
