ABSTRACT
In this investigation, the protective effects of aqueous hot extract of Eugenia uniflora leaves in Isoproterenol induced myocardial infarction in male rats was studies. The histopathological architecture of heart tissue of control and induced rats were studied. Rats were pretreated with hot aqueous extract of Eugenia uniflora leaves orally daily for 28 days. After treatment, Isoproterenol was injected to rats at an interval of 24 hours for two days to induce myocardial injury. The results obtained emphasized the benefits of the extract and thus augmented the urge of in vivo studies to further confirm the beneficial effect of these extract.
