Effect of Hesperidin on Serum Glucose, HbA1c and Oxidative Stress in Myocardial Tissue in Experimentally Induced Myocardial Infarction in Diabetic Rats

Present study was designed to evaluate in vitro antioxidant activity in heart and serum Glucose, HbA1c of Hesperidin on isoproterenol induced myocardial infarction in normal and diabetic in rats. Hesperidin (100 mg/kg, p.o) was administered for 28 days in rats injected with single dose of Streptozotocin (65 mg/kg, i.p, STZ) and nicotinamide (110 mg/kg, i.p, NIC) and after isoproterenol (200mg/kg, s.c., ISO) induced myocardial infarction in diabetic rats on 29th and 30th day. At the end of experimental period (i.e. on the day 31) heart tissue sample of each rat was collected and antioxidative parameter carried out for further estimations. Administration of STZ-NIC in rats showed a significant (P
