Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  Gadolinium(III) chloride hexahydrate is a CASR agonist, which has proven to promote myocardial apoptosis, thereby increasing ERK1/2 phosphate and activating Caspase-3. 30 μm Gadolinium(III) chloride hexahydrate treats H9C2 cells for 15 minutes, resulting in increasing BAX expression in CSA-induced cells and activation of Caspase-3, and reducing BCL-2 expression.
