Abstract Summary
A combination of paeonol and danshensu, active compounds from traditional Chinese herbs, shows enhanced cardioprotective effects against heart attack in rats. The duo worked better together than individually by boosting antioxidant defenses and preventing cell death through key molecular pathways. This research validates the traditional practice of combining these herbs for heart protection.
