Andrographolide promotes skeletal muscle regeneration after acute injury through epigenetic modulation.

Myopathy is a muscle disease in which muscle fibers do not function properly, and eventually cause severe diseases, such as muscular dystrophy. The properly regeneration of skeletal muscle plays a pivotal role to maintain the muscle function after muscle injury. The aim of this study is to determine whether andrographolide plays an effect role on regulating skeletal muscle regeneration.

Andrographolide attenuates imbalance of gastric vascular homeostasis induced by ethanol through glycolysis pathway.

Different kinds of factors contribute to gastric ulcer development which characterized by damaging gastric mucosal layer. However, gastric vascular homeostasis is not well defined and whether andrographolide has a protective function is largely unknown. The goal of this study is to investigate the potential function roles and underlying mechanism by which andrographolide regulates gastric vascular homeostasis in vivo and in vitro.
