Abstract:Background
Oxidative stress leads to adverse atrial remodeling in diabetes mellitus. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) agonists have been shown to prevent cardiomyocytes from oxidative stress by improving mitochondrial function, but their underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. This study investigated the molecular changes and their underlying regulatory mechanisms by the AMPK agonists, metformin and AICA ribonucleotide (AICAR).
Methods
Mouse atrial cardiomyocytes (HL-1 cells) and rats with ty… Show more
