The neutral oil at 2.5 and 5.0g/kg P.O. can significantly decrease the oxygen consumption and prolong survival time for mice, increase the ability of tissues to tolerate anoxia and extend survival time under cerebral ischemic anoxia in mice. It can also inhibit the pituitrin-induced depression of S
Inadequate oxygen supply is probably one of the most important pathophysiological mechanisms of cardiomyocyte damage in ischemic heart disease. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP, also known as ligustrazine) is the main active ingredient isolated from the rhizome of Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. A previous
BACKGROUND
Hemorrhagic shock (HS) is the major cause of death from trauma. Hemorrhagic shock may lead to cellular hypoxia and organ damage. Our previous findings showed that HS induced a cardiac apoptosis pathway and synergistically caused myocardial cell damage in diabetic rats under trauma-induced
Hepatic steatosis is the most distinctive feature of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Our previous in vivo study showed that ligustrazine, a major active alkaloid isolated from Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort, attenuated alcohol-induced hepatic steatosis and in vitro study revealed that nuclear factor
OBJECTIVE
To study the effect of different composition structures of total paeony glycoside (TPG) component and total phenolic acid of Ligusticum chuanxiong ( TLPA) on sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4) -induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) hypoxic injury. The baseline geometric
This study investigated the effects of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), an active element of traditional Chinese medicine Ligusticum Chuanxiong, on proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) from rat brain in hypoxia condition and the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases
Hypoxia-mediated neurotoxicity contributes to various neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), a major bioactive component purified from Ligusticum wallichii Franchat, exhibited potent neuroprotective effect. However, the mechanism
