Tetramethylpyrazine Attenuates the Endotheliotoxicity and the Mitochondrial Dysfunction by Doxorubicin via 14-3-3γ/Bcl-2

Table 1

TMP preserved the ferric reducing antioxidant power, the activities of antioxidant enzymes and reduced the levels of lipid peroxidation in the mice’s serum against Dox’s endotheliotoxicity.
