Astragaloside IV Inhibits Oxidative Stress-Induced Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore Opening by Inactivating GSK-3 via Nitric Oxide in H9c2 Cardiac Cells

Figure 7

Cell viability assay in H9c2 cells subjected to 90 min simulated ischemia followed by 30 min of reperfusion. Astragaloside IV applied during ischemia only did not improve cell viability (AstIV (I)), compared with the ischemia/reperfusion control (I/R). Astragaloside IV given at reperfusion for 30 min significantly increased cell viability (AstIV (R)). Data are mean ± SD for 6 independent experiments performed in duplicate. * compared to the control; # compared to astragaloside IV (ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test).
