Effects of schisandrin B enantiomers on cellular glutathione and menadione toxicity in AML12 hepatocytes.

abstract：AIMS:Recent studies have reported that intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) mobilization is involved in homocysteine (Hcy)-induced endothelial dysfunction and the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) is responsible for an increase in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration in cardiovascular disease. We hypothesized that inhibition of t...
