Protective role of deoxyschizandrin and schisantherin A against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

<h4>Background</h4>Our previous studies suggested that deoxyschizandrin (DSD) and schisantherin A (STA) may have cardioprotective effects, but information in this regard is lacking. Therefore, we explored the protective role of DSD and STA in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury....
