Master's thesis at the University of Basra examines the cardioprotective effects of resveratrol
A master's thesis at the College of Pharmacy at the University of Basra examined the cardioprotective effects of resveratrol against cardiac toxicity caused by diazinon.
The thesis, submitted by student Afrah Talib Saddam, aimed to study the effectiveness of resveratrol in protecting against heart and liver damage caused by exposure to the pesticide diazinon. The study also aimed to understand the protective mechanisms of resveratrol to help find new ways to treat people who have been exposed to pesticides.
The thesis explored natural compounds such as resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant found in foods such as grapes and berries. Resveratrol reduces inflammation and fights free radicals, making it promising in protecting the heart and liver from damage caused by exposure to pesticides.
