andrographis lineata/infarction

One hour after the development of myocardial infarction by formation of thrombus, watery extract of Andrographis paniculata Nees (APN) was injected intravenously to 7 dogs for observing the protective effect of this drug on ischemic myocardium, 6 dogs served as control group. In the treated group

In 16 dogs the endothelium of the left anterior descending coronary artery was injured mechanically. Then a copper wire was inserted into the lumen as a choke of flow and the vessel was slightly compressed from outside by a constrictor. Eight dogs had been treated beforehand with a preparation of

Present study evaluated the cardioprotective effect of Andrographis paniculata (100, 200 or 400 mg/kg) against isoproterenol (85 mg/kg, b.w.)-induced cardiotoxicity referred as myocardial infarction in rats. Isoproterenol significantly (p < 0.05) decreased mean arterial pressure, heart rate,

Previous studies have demonstrated that a crude extract from Chinese medicinal herb Andrographis Paniculata Nees (APN) could prevent myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury. A refined extract API0134 was studied further. LAD was ligated for 90 min in 20 dogs and then reperfused for 120 min. The

OBJECTIVE Protecting myocardium from ischaemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury is important to reduce the complication of myocardial infarction (MI) and interventional revascularization procedures. In the present study, the cardioprotective potential of hydroalcoholic extract of Andrographis paniculata was

OBJECTIVE A large number of plants have been recognized to be effective in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Persistent hyperglycaemia is associated with decreased function of immune system and cerebral ischaemia mainly due to increased oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Andrographis

Andrographolide is compound extracted from Andrographis paniculata (A. paniculata), a traditional herb that has been used in ancient China and other parts of eastern Asia to treat an array of disorders, such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infection, and

OBJECTIVE Andrographolide is a diterpenoid lactone isolated from a traditional medicinal herb, Andrographis paniculata. It possesses potent anti-inflammatory activity. The present study examined potential therapeutic effects of andrographolide on cerebral ischaemia using a rat model with permanent
