abstract = {Background: To investigate the therapeutic effect of total Astragalus saponins (AST) against viral myocarditis in animal and cell models.
Methods: Primary myocardiocytes (PMCs) were stimulated by the coxsackie B (CVB) 3 virus to prepare the cell model of viral myocarditis. Cell viability, apoptosis and the mRNA expression of C-Myc, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and Fas were detected to evaluate the protective effects of AST on CVB3-induced PMC damage.
Results: AST could significantly increase survival and decrease the ratio of heart weight: body weight (P},
