To elucidate possible ionic mechanisms of antimyocardial ischemia and antiarrythmia of tetramethyl pyrazine (TP), we studied L-type Ca2+ currents (I(Ca.L)) in adult rat ventricular myocytes using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. The results showed: (i) under physiological conditions, 0.25
The purpose of this study was to determine the antagonistic effect of tetramethyl pyrazine (TMP), a sort of chinese herbal medicine, on coronary vasoconstriction induced by endothelin-1 (ET-1) in closed chest dogs. ET-1 at doses of 50, 75 and 100 pmol was selectively administered into left main
BACKGROUND
Tetramethyl pyrazine has been considered an effective agent in treating neurons ischemia/reperfusion injury, but the mechanism of its therapeutic effect remains unclear. This study was to explore the therapeutic time window and mechanism of tetramethyl pyrazine on temporary focal cerebral
BACKGROUND Tetramethyl pyrazine (TMP) is a typical biologically active alkaloid isolated from the Chinese herb Ligusticum walliichi. It has been reported that TMP shows neuroprotective and stroke injury reductive properties in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) animal models. In the present study
Ocular ischemia and inflammation are two major factors which induce retinal degeneration. Treatment of these diseases has been difficult, though numerous agents have been tried. Natural products could be a good field to venture into because various medicinal plants have been used for centuries to
