Abstract
Notoginsenoside R1 (NG‐R1), a novel phytoestrogen isolated from Panax notoginseng, is believed to have anti‐inflammatory, anti‐oxidative and anti‐apoptotic properties. However, its cardioprotective properties and underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Here we have assessed the contribution of the anti‐inflammatory effects of NG‐R1 to the amelioration of septic cardiac dysfunction and inflammation in mice.
