Pomegranate Compound Boosts Heart Function in Mice
Original: Pomegranate Compound Improves Heart Function Up to 80% in Mice With Heart Failure https://www. sciencealert.com/pomegran
Researchers report that a compound found in pomegranates improved heart function by up to 80 percent in mice with heart failure. The findings, picked up by ScienceAlert and shared widely in science communities, suggest a possible new avenue for treating the condition. Observers caution that results in mice do not guarantee the same effect in humans, and clinical trials would be needed before any recommendations.
Why now: The striking size of the improvement in an animal model of a common condition makes the finding newsworthy to science audiences.
