To observe the effect of electro-acupuncture (EA) on cardiomyocytes ferroptosis induced by myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) in mice and to investigate whether this effect occurs via the nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) signalling pathway. Here, HMOX1 is linked to myocardial ischemia.
