Astragaloside-IV Protects Against Heat-induced Apoptosis by Inhibiting Excessive Activation of Mitochondrial Ca2+ Uniporter

Background: Heat causes airway damage during inhalation injury because of bronchial epithelial cell damage. Accumulating evidence shows that mitochondrial uniporter (MCU) is involved in cell damage. We investigated the MCU activity after heat treatment and assessed whether Astragaloside-IV (AS-IV) s...
