The Effect of Ginsenoside RB1, Diazoxide, and 5-Hydroxydecanoate on Hypoxia-Reoxygenation Injury of H9C2 Cardiomyocytes

Figure 6

GS-Rb1 protects the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of H9c2 cells subjected to HR. The MMP of the H9c2 cells during HR was significantly lower than that of the control cells (B vs. A ), and GS-Rb1 can significantly prevent the decrease of the MMP of H9c2 cells during HR (C vs. B ), similar to the effect of diazoxide (E vs. B ). The protective effect of GS-Rb1 on the MMP was prevented by co-pretreatment with 5-HD (D vs. C ; D vs. B ). HR, hypoxia-reoxygenation; GS-Rb1, ginsenoside Rb1; 5-HD, 5-hydroxydecanoate.
