Gypenoside Protects against Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Inhibiting Cardiomyocytes Apoptosis via Inhibition of CHOP Pathway and Activation of PI3K/Akt Pathway In Vivo and In Vitro
Background/Aims: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is believed to be the major cause for detriments in coronary heart diseases, but few effective therapies for prevention or treatment of I/R injury are available. Gypenoside (GP) is the predominant effective component of Gynostemma pentaphyllum and p...
