Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) plays an important role in the progression of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), in part by mediating apoptosis. Polyamines, including putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, are polycations with anti-oxidative, anti-aging, and cell growth-promoting activities. This study aimed to determine the mechanisms by which spermine protects against ERS-induced apoptosis in rats following AMI.
