A study published in the journal Nutrition Research looked at the potential of xyloglucan supplementation in reducing myocardial injury. The study was carried out by researchers at the Catholic University of Daegu in South Korea.
These findings suggested that xyloglucan in apple can protect against myocardial injury and lower the risk of coronary heart disease by inhibiting apoptosis and improving energy metabolism.
