MODULATION OF CARDIOMARKER ENZYMES AND PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES IN CARDIAC TISSUES USING PLANT EXTRACTS
Abstract
This article analyzes the modulatory effects of plant extracts on cardiomarker enzymes and the physiological responses of cardiac tissues. The discussion focuses on the behavior of key biomarkers—including troponins, creatine kinase (CK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)—that reflect myocardial damage and stress. The review emphasizes the antioxidant, membrane-stabilizing, and anti-inflammatory properties of phytochemicals, highlighting their potential to modulate cellular signaling and preserve myocardial integrity. Dose-dependent effects, the support of energetic metabolism in cardiomyocytes, and the therapeutic prospects of plant-derived compounds in cardioprotection are also explored. The findings contribute to the development of biologically active, plant-based strategies for preventing and mitigating cardiac injury.
