astragalus/hypoxia

Acute kidney injury is a global problem, which brings a great burden to the society and family. The component of rhubarb, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Astragalus membranaceus, and safflower (CRSAS) has been proved as an useful agent to treat acute kidney injury

BACKGROUND It has been reported that formononetin (FMN), one of the main ingredients from famous traditional Chinese medicine "Huang-qi" (Astragalus membranaceus [Fisch] Bunge) for Qi-tonifying, exhibits the effects of immunomodulation and tumor growth inhibition via antiangiogenesis. Furthermore,

OBJECTIVE To observe the protective effects of Rhodiola-astragalus membranaceus mixture against brain damage during hypoxia under simulated plateau environment and the mechanisms maybe involved in. METHODS Adult SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, which were normoxic control, simulated

Astragaloside IV (ASI), a traditional Chinese medicine, is a main active ingredient of Astragalus membranaceus. Many clinical studies have found that ASI protects cardiomyocytes in cardiovascular diseases, but the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. The aim of this study was to investigate the

BACKGROUND Astragalus membranaceus has been clinically used in cerebral ischemia treatment in China and its main component, Astragaloside IV (Ast IV) shows anti-hypoxia activity, but the underlying mechanism has not been clearly clarified. This study was aimed to investigate the effects of Ast IV on

Astragaloside IV is the major active constituent of Astragalus membranaceus, which has been widely used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases in China. The aim of this study was to determine the angiogenic effect of astragaloside IV and its underlying mechanism. We used the

OBJECTIVE Astragaloside IV (AS-IV), a traditional Chinese medicine isolated from Astragalus membranaceus, has been shown to exert cardioprotective effect previously. This study aimed to reveal the effects of AS-IV on hypoxia-injured cardiomyocyte. METHODS H9c2 cells were treated with various doses

Although astragaloside IV, a saponin isolated from Astragalus membranaceus, has been shown to protect the myocardium against ischemia/reperfusion injury, its effect on the status of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ transport in the injured myocardium remains largely unknown. In this study, we

Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) is one of the main pharmacologically active compounds found in Astragalus membranaceus. AS-IV has protective effects against ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), but its mechanism of action has not yet been determined. This study aims to investigate the effect of AS-IV on IRI

BACKGROUND Intermittent hypoxia is the main pathophysiological cause of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Astragalus shows improvement of spatial learning and memory abilities under intermittent hypoxia. Our study aimed to investigate the protective effect of astragalus against intermittent

Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) is the main active ingredient of astragalus and exhibits various pharmacological effects. This study aimed to investigate the effect of APS on hypoxia-induced injury in neural stem cells (NSCs). The NSCs derived from the hippocampus of rat were subjected to hypoxia

The study explores the effect of astragalus polysaccharide (APS) mediating P13K/Akt/eNOS signaling pathway on apoptosis of myocardial microvascular endothelial cells (MMECs) in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). MMECs were classified into blank, H/R, H/R + 25 mg/L APS, H/R + 50 mg/L APS, H/R + 100 mg/L

BACKGROUND Our ongoing research has revealed that total saponins extracted from the medicinal herb Radix Astragali (AST) exhibits significant growth-inhibitory and proapoptotic effects in human cancer cells. In the present study, the potential of AST in controlling angiogenesis was further

In the present study, the mechanisms associated with the Astragalus polysaccharide (APS)-mediated protection of human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HCMEC) against hypoxia/reoxygenation (HR) injury were investigated. Pretreatment of HCMECs with APS at various concentrations was performed

Dry ethyl acetate extract containing flavonoids was obtained from above-ground parts of Astragalus corniculatus Bieb. Seven flavonoids were isolated and identified as rutin, hyperoside, isoquercitrin, narcissin, quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin for the first time. The extract was found to be
