To determine the protective effect of pomegranate polyphenols on cardiac function in rats with myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and explore the possible mechanism. Fifty SD rats were randomized into 5 equal groups, including a sham-operated group, an I/R model group, and 3 pomegranate po...
