VEGFA and myocardial infarction: In a rat model of acute myocardial infarction, oral administration of Tan IIA at 30 mg/kg/d combined with BMSC transplantation increased BMSC recruitment to the damaged area following myocardial infarction, resulting in restored normal function of the left ventricle (LV) systolic and end-diastolic pressure, as well as enhanced VEGF expression in the infarcted region.
