1 To get further insights into the underlying mechanisms of these effects induced by puerarin, we measured telomerase activity and determined the phosphorylation of serine/threonine protein kinase Akt by using western blot. puerarin AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
2 Puerarin significantly increased telomerase activity and phosphorylation of Akt, a downstream effector of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI-3K). puerarin AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
3 Taken together, the results of the present study indicated that puerarin delayed the onset of EPCs senescence, which may be related to the activation of telomerase through the PI-3K/Akt pathway. puerarin AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
