We investigated the potential heart health benefits of 2,3-dehydrosilybin (DHS), a component of silybum marianum. In our study, rats' isolated hearts were treated with low doses of DHS before experiencing induced heart attacks and subsequent recovery.
The results showed that DHS significantly reduced heart tissue damage compared to untreated hearts, suggesting it has a protective effect. This effect is linked to specific signaling pathways in the heart. Overall, our research highlights the promising cardioprotective properties of this natural compound.

We explored the potential of Silybum marianum (SM) in combating cardiac lipotoxicity following myocardial infarction (MI) in a pig study. Over 10 days, animals received either SM or a placebo.
The results showed that SM significantly lowered plasma triglyceride levels and reduced triglyceride absorption, leading to less fat accumulation in the heart muscle after ischemic injury.
Importantly, the SM treatment was free of side effects, indicating its promise as a supportive therapy for heart disease without adverse reactions.

Milk thistle aids heart recovery
We explored how Silybum marianum, or milk thistle, can affect heart health, especially after a heart attack. In studies on pigs, we found that giving SM shortly before and after a heart attack helped reduce damage and improve recovery.
It showed potential in lowering oxidative stress and enhancing heart function. However, animals with no heart attack didn't experience these benefits. Our findings suggest that milk thistle could play a role in heart recovery during critical phases following a heart attack.

We explored the effects of silymarin on heart and liver health in a study involving 28 male mice. The animals were divided into groups and treated with silymarin, saline, and paracetamol to simulate oxidative stress.
The results showed that silymarin significantly reduced liver damage and inflammation caused by paracetamol and also demonstrated protective effects in cardiac tissue. While these findings highlight its potential as a treatment for heart and liver issues, further research is needed to confirm how effective silymarin is in humans.

We explored how 2,3-dehydrosilybin (DHS), a component of Silybum marianum, may protect heart cells from damage caused by a lack of oxygen. The study involved cultured rat heart cells subjected to hypoxia and reoxygenation, which is a common stress for heart tissue. Our findings revealed that while DHS treatment reduced the harmful production of reactive oxygen species, it did not improve cell viability. Thus, while DHS offers some protective effects, significant benefits for heart health remain unconfirmed.
