Studies have shown that terpene glucoside protects the heart from ISO-induced myocardial ischemia by activating the phosphatidy linositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway to improve cardiac energy metabolism and inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis. This evidence concerns the gene MTOR and myocardial ischemia.
