We investigated the molecular effect and signal pathway of icariin, a major flavonoid of
Epimedium koreanum Nakai, on angiogenesis. Icariin stimulated in vitro endothelial cell …

Icariin, a flavonoid isolated from Epimedii herba, is considered to be the major therapeutical
constituent of E. herba. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective …

Kaempferol has been shown to inhibit vascular formation in endothelial cells. However, the
underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In the present study, we evaluated whether …
