Thrombolytic potential of Punica granatum and lipid profile: A correlation analysis

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death despite the identification of several CVD risk factors. A thrombus formed inside a blood vessel reduces the blood supply leading to a myocardial infarction. Hence the present study aimed at determining if a correlation exists between the thrombolytic potential and the lipid profile among normal, diabetic and hypertensive participants. The antioxidant potential of the fruit was gauged in terms of enzymic and non-enzymic antioxidants present in the fruit. It was found that there was no correlation between the thrombolytic potential of the fruit and the levels of cholesterol.
