OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of Astragalus membranaccus (As) on cardiac function and SERCA2a gene expression in left ventricular tissues of rats with chronic heart failure.
METHODS
Heart failure was induced by clipping the abdominal aorta 60 male SD rats were divided into four groups:
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of astragalus (As) on calcium accumulation and SERCA2a gene expression in left ventricular tissues in rats with pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy.
METHODS
cardiac hypertrophy was induced by clipping the abdominal aorta in rats. Male SD rats were
