Styrax (Liquidambar orientalis Mill.) promotes mitochondrial function and reduces cardiac damage following myocardial ischemic injury: the role of the AMPK-PGC1α signaling pathway.

Collectively, these results demonstrated that ES could improve myocardial mitochondrial function and reduce ischemic injury by activating AMPK/PCG-1α signaling pathway, while indicating its potential advantages as a dietary supplement.
