(a) Chemical structure of UA. (b) Effect of UA on ATP-GC in H9c2 cells. Cells were incubated with UA at the indicated concentrations for 4 h. ATP-GC was measured as described in Section 2. Data are expressed as the percentage of nonpreincubated control values . Values given are means ± SEM, with . and , when compared with the control group without herbal extract preincubation.
