Effect of puerarin on activities of cytokines secreted by neonatal cardiomyocytes during hypoxia/reoxygenation / 中国药理学通报

AIM To investigate the effect of puerarin (Pue) on tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ?, interleukin (IL) 6 secreted by neonatal rat cardiomyocytes during hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. METHOD The activities of TNF ? and IL 6 in the supernatants of cultured myocytes, which were sampled from different groups (control, model, and therapeutic groups with 1 g?L -1 Pue, 0 1 g?L -1 Pue, 0 01 g?L -1 Pue) at different time, were assayed by bioassay method. RESULTS TNF ? and IL 6 activity increased compared with that of control ( P
