Supplementation with psyllium seed husk reduces myocardial damage in a rat model of ischemia/reperfusionDOI: 10.4162/nrp.2019.13.3.205 Keywords: Infarction, apoptosis, sirtuin, functional food Abstract: Myocardial infarction (MI) is caused by extensive myocardial damage attributed to the occlusion of coronary arteries. Our previous study in a rat model of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) demonstrated that administration of arabinoxylan (AX), comprising arabinose and xylose, protects against myocardial injury. In this study, we undertook to investigate whether psyllium seed husk (PSH), a safe dietary fiber containing a high level of AX (> 50%), also imparts protection against myocardial injury in the same rat model
