Dietary UKMR-1 Roselle supplementation prevents nicotine-induced cardiac injury by inhibiting myocardial oxidative stress

UKMR-1, a local variant of mutant Roselle strain (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is enriched with free radical scavenging polyphenols such as anthocyanin, vitamin C and hydroxycitric acid. However, pharmacological actions of UKMR-1 are not fully known. This study was conducted to determine whether supplementa...

In this experimental study, healthy male albino rats were randomly allotted into three groups (n=7 per group): control, nicotine and UKMR-1+Nicotine groups.
