[Pharmacology and Toxicology]
This product can increase coronary blood flow, reduce myocardial oxygen consumption, improve myocardial ischemia, relieve angina pectoris, and protect against myocardial ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion injury. It also regulates lipid metabolism and improves blood rheology, lowering serum cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and oxidized-modified LDL levels, and reducing total viscosity at high and low shear rates. It can therefore reduce arterial wall lipid secretion and plaque formation, thereby preventing and treating atherosclerosis.
