This study investigated whether pretreatment with puerarin could alleviate myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in a cardiomyocyte oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R) model and in a mouse I/R injury model. For in vitro experiments, H9C2 cells were divided into control, erastin, OGD/R, OGD/R + puerarin, and OGD/R + ferrostatin (Fer)-1 groups. Parameters related to ferroptosis included levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), ATP, reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutathione (GSH), prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase (Ptgs) 2 mRNA, glutathione peroxidase (GPX) 4 protein and iron...
