betulinic acid/경색증

Myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (I/RI) can lead to acute myocardial infarction (MI), which is a common cardiovascular disease (CVD) leading to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Betulinic acid exerts protective effect on myocardial I/RI in rats; however, the mechanism remains unknown. The aim

Increased production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion is a major cause for neuronal injury. In hypercholesterolemic apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE-KO) mice, 2h of middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion followed by 22h of reperfusion led to an enhanced

Stroke is a deadly disease without effective pharmacotherapies, which is due to two major reasons. First, most therapeutics cannot efficiently penetrate the brain. Second, single agent pharmacotherapy may be insufficient and effective treatment of stroke requires targeting multiple complementary

Ischemic stroke leads to high potentiality of mortality and disability. The current treatment for ischemic stroke is mainly focused on intravenous thrombolytic therapy. However, ischemia/ reperfusion induces neuronal damage, which significantly influences the outcome of patients with ischemic
