Cardioprotective Effects of Salvianolic Acid A on Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury In Vivo and In Vitro

Figure 5

Salvianolic acid A (SAA) protects H9c2 cells from H₂O₂-induced apoptosis. FCM analysis with Annexin-V binding. H9c2 cells were pretreated with or without SAA for 24 h prior to incubation of cells with H₂O₂ for 1 h. Cells in region A4 represent early apoptotic cells. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. ^##𝑃<.01 versus control; ^∗𝑃<.05, ^∗∗𝑃<.01 versus H₂O₂. PI: propidium iodide.
