NGR1 exerts its cardioprotective effects via upregulation of AMPK/Nrf2 signaling and HO-1 expression. (A) H9c2 cell viability was reduced by Nrf2 siRNA transfection. (B) Expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 proteins in H9c2 cells assessed by Western blot analysis (C) Densitometric analysis of Nrf2 and HO-1 expression in cardiomyocytes. (D) Nrf2 and HO-1 mRNA expression. Data are shown as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments, *p < 0.001, & p < 0.001, and # p < 0.001. LG, 5.5 mM glucose; HG, 30 mM glucose; NGR1, Notoginsenoside R1.
