Alpinate Oxyphyllae Fructus (Alpinia Oxyphylla Miq) Extracts Inhibit Angiotensin-II Induced Cardiac Apoptosis in H9c2 Cardiomyoblast Cells.

The article focuses on the impact of extracts of Alpinate Oxyphyllae Fructus (AOF) on Angiotensin-II induced cardiac apoptosis in H9c2 cardiomyoblast cells. Information on usage of AOF, traditional Chinese medicine, for evaluation of its effect on Ang II-induced cardiac apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction is offered. Graphs depicting effects of AOF on Ang II-induced apoptosis and remodeling protein expression in H9c2 cells of cardiomyoblast are also presented.
