luteolin/infarction

BACKGROUND The present study was to investigate the effects and mechanism of Luteolin on myocardial infarct size, cardiac function and cardiomyocyte apoptosis in diabetic rats with myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. RESULTS Diabetic rats underwent 30 minutes of ischemia followed by 3 h of

Myocardial infarction (MI), which is characterized by chamber dilation and LV dysfunction, is associated with substantially higher mortality. We investigated the effects and underlying mechanisms of Luteolin on post-infarction cardiac dysfunction. Myocardial infarction was constructed by left

Luteolin, a naturally occurring polyphenol flavonoid, has demonstrated to exert myocardial protection effects. However, the mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we investigated whether luteolin pretreatment was associated with cardioprotection in a rat

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of luteolin (Lu) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. I/R model was established by ligating left anterior descending branch of coronary artery in rats. Cardiac hemodynamic measurement, myocardial infarction and damage

OBJECTIVE According to a widespread hypothesis, antioxidative vitamins and trace elements may protect the body against atherosclerotic diseases, especially in the elderly. We assessed dietary and serum vitamins and minerals for prediction of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke in elderly

Myocardial hypertrophy is often associated with myocardial infarction. Luteolin-7-O-glucoside (LUTG) has the prosperity of preventing cardiomyocyte injury. The current study aimed to explore the potential protective effect of LUTG and its relevant mechanisms in the heart. To establish the cardiac

Mitochondrial abnormalities accelerate the progression of ischemic brain damage. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is mainly found in mitochondria and affects almost all major aspects of mitochondrial function. Luteolin, a flavonoid with diverse biological properties, including antioxidant activity, inhibition of

OBJECTIVE The myocardial sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA2a) is a pivotal pump responsible for calcium cycling in cardiomyocytes. The present study investigated the effect of luteolin (Lut) on restoring SERCA2a protein level and stability reduced by myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)

Luteolin has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of various diseases. Recent studies have suggested that administration of luteolin yields cardioprotective effects during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats. However, the precise mechanisms of this action remain unclear. The

Ixeris sonchifolia Hance is an herb distributed in northeastern part of China and has been used by natives to invigorate circulation. In the present study, bioactivity-guided fractionation of I. sonchifolia Hance extract was performed with the aim to isolate and identify the compounds underlying the

Reseda odorata L. has long been used in traditional Asian medicine for the treatment of diseases associated with oxidative injury and acute inflammation, such as endotoxemia, acute lung injury, acute myocardial infarction and hepatitis. Luteolin, the main component of Reseda odorata L., which is

This study aimed to explore potential new drugs in the treatment of ischemic stroke by Connectivity Map (CMap) and to determine the role of luteolin on ischemic stroke according to its effects on matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Based on published gene expression

BACKGROUND Inflammatory damage is known to be involved in ischemic stroke. Luteolin has been proved to elicit a series of biologic effects through its anti-inflammatory property in multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Whether this protective effect applies to ischemic injury in brain is

The flavonoid luteolin exists in many types of fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs. Our previous studies have demonstrated that luteolin reduced ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in vitro, which was related with sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA2a) activity. However, the effects of

Luteolin recently has been proved to elicit a vanity of biological effects through its antioxidant and anti-apoptosis properties. Oxidative and apoptosis damage play an important role in cerebral ischemic pathogenesis and may represent a target for treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate
