  The Common Myrtle (Myrtus communis L.) is rich in antioxidants, particularly in anthocyanin. It was recognized for its anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic effects. The aim of our work is to evaluate the effect of Common Myrtle on a model of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion in Rat. Two morphs were chosen: white fruit Myrtle and black fruit Myrtle. Within each morph, fruit and leaf were separated and obtained extract were used to determine their effects on the hepatic model of ischemia-reperfusion. Our work was conducted in three steps (1) Induction of hepatic ischemia (90 minutes) in Wistar Rat (2) injection of the Myrtle extract during 15 minutes before reperfusion (3) and reperfusion (2 hours). To evaluate the effect of Myrtle on ischemia-reperfusion, we have monitored transaminases levels, Monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) concentrations (to asses.. Read More»
