Hexokinase II up-regulation contributes to asiaticoside-induced protection of H9c2 cardioblasts during oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation

AbstractAsiaticoside (AS), one of the main functional components of Centella asiatica, has been reported to protect neurons from ischemia-hypoxia-induced injury. However, the role of AS in myocardial oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) injury has not been investigated. The aim of this s
