Hemorrhagic shock (HS) is the major cause of death from trauma. Hemorrhagic shock may lead to cellular hypoxia and organ damage. Our previous findings showed that HS induced a cardiac apoptosis pathway and synergistically caused myocardial cell damage in diabetic rats under trauma-induced HS. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) is a major biologically active ingredient purified from the rhizome of Ligusticum wallichii (called Chuang Xiong in Chinese). Chuan Xiong rescued cells from synergistic cardiomyoblast cell injury under high-glucose (HG) conditions plus hypoxia. TMP is one of the most important active ingredients that elevated the survival rate in ischemic brain injury and prevented inducible NO synthase expression to have anti-inflammatory effects against cell damage in different cell types.
