Abstract
Studies have demonstrated that icariin plays important roles in preventing hypertension and improving myocardial hypertrophy, inflammatory and infiltration. Icariside (ICS II) is the main metabolite of icariin, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities and protects against ischaemic brain injury. Whether ICS II improves myocardial fibrosis in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and the related mechanism remain unknown. Some...
