Salvianolic acid A (SalA) has been shown to display robust protection against endothelial injury. VLDL receptor (VLDLr) is expressed at high levels in the endothelial cells. However its endothelial biological function has not been completely elucidated. Here, we investigated molecular effects of SalA on endothelial VLDLr expression, ER stress, and apoptosis under hypoxia condition.
