Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) on human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). We found that COS not only reversed the decrease of cell viability and proliferation activity, but ameliorated nuclear chromatin damage in H2O2-induced HUVECs. Additionally, COS contributed to the decrease of cytosolic Ca2+ level, increase of mitochondrial...
