Protective effects of icariin in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: mechanistic basis, post-ischemic protection and translational limitations

CONTEXT: Icariin (ICA), a prenylated flavonol glycoside from Epimedii Folium, has been investigated in experimental models relevant to atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and ischemic tissue injury. OBJECTIVES: This review evaluates experimental evidence on ICA in atheroscler...
