1 Icariin, a flavonoid isolated from Epimedii herba, stimulated phosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) at Ser1177, Akt (Ser473) and ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204). icariin mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Homo sapiens
2 The icariin-induced eNOS phosphorylation was inhibited by wortmannin, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor and partially attenuated by PD98059, an upstream inhibitor for ERK1/2. icariin mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Homo sapiens
3 PI3K/Akt and MAPK-ERK kinase (MEK)/ERK1/2 pathways were involved in the phosphorylation of eNOS by icariin. icariin mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Homo sapiens
