A diagrammatic sketch showing the pathways that lead to the protected effects of T89 on ISO-induced cardiac injury. ISO causes enhancement of glycolysis and reduction of fatty acid metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation, resulting in energy disorder and oxidative stress with myocardial injury and reduction of MBF. Meanwhile, ISO-educed cardiac hypertrophy via regulating HSP70-ERK1/2 signals, which, together with cardiac injury, finally caused reduction of heart function and low survival rate. Nevertheless, T89 administration reversed all the above alteration. The cardioprotective role of T89 depended on the regulation of glycolipid metabolism, recovery of mitochondrial function, and improvement of myocardial energy.
