Flavonoid-Rich Extracts from Mentha Piperita and their Novel Role in ALT Modulation in a Cardiovascular Disease Rat Model.
Article in Cell biochemistry and biophysics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a serious global health burden. Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds with strong antioxidant properties and significant capabilities to reduce oxidative stress, a key factor in CVD development. This study investigates the effect of ethanolic extract of Mentha × piperita, a rich source of flavonoids, on heart disease in rats. Heart disease was experimentally induced by administering 1% hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) for 21 days. Twenty-five male rats were divided into five groups: control, H₂O₂-treated, and three groups treated with different concentrations of flavonoid extract (100, 150, and 200 mg/kg/day). Biochemical tests showed that the obtained flavonoid reduced serum ALT activity (p < 0.05) and enhanced lipid profiles by lowering total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). On the other hand, the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) has significantly increased. The outcomes demonstrated that the antioxidant activity of flavonoids plays an important role in decreasing oxidative stress and protecting against H₂O₂-induced cardiovascular damage. The findings highlight the translational potential of Mentha-derived flavonoids as natural therapeutic agents for improving lipid metabolism and reducing cardiovascular risk in humans.
