Araloside C protects H9c2 cardiomyoblasts against oxidative stress via the modulation of mitochondrial function

Araloside C (AsC) has potential cardioprotective properties. However, the underlying mechanism of AsC-mediated cardioprotection, especially the role of mitochondrial function, remains largely unknown. Here, we used H9c2 cardiomyocytes to study the cardioprotective mechanisms of AsC through H2O2-induced oxidative stress. Cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase release, mitochondrial functions and bioenergetics were evaluated. Western blot analysis...
