Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a severe cardiovascular disease with high mortality. It is reported to be closely related to the mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic disturbance on endothelial cells under a chronic hypoxic state. Significant declined mitochondrial respiration, ATP production, and metabolic changes are the main characteristics of endothelial injury in the disease.

Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Internet, Wanfang, and VIP were searched for randomized controlled trials comparing STGs with MCTs/LCTs published in English or Chinese between January 1987 and October 2017. Two independent investigators screened and selected studies according to prespecified selection criteria.
