Astragalin retards atherosclerosis by promoting cholesterol efflux and inhibiting the inflammatory response via up-regulating ABCA1 and ABCG1 expression in macrophages.

abstract：:Coronary artery disease is the most important cause of morbidity and mortality in Western countries. Its pathogenesis is unknown but involves an enhanced vasoconstriction and increased interaction of platelets and monocytes with the vessel wall, as well as proliferation, migration, and extracellular matrix formation o...
