Acute treatment with metformin improves cardiac function following isoproterenol induced myocardial infarction in rats.
Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2012, Vol 64, Issue 6
Abstract
It has been proposed that metformin exerts protective effects on ischemic hearts. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of metformin on cardiac function, hemodynamic parameters, and histopathological changes in isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction (MI).

Blocking angiogenesis with peptides that inhibit the activity of procollagen C-endopeptidase.
Procollagen C-endopeptidase (BMP-1) is one of two key enzymes crucial for conversion of fibrillar procollagens to self-assembling collagen monomers. Recently, we have reported inhibition of the largest variant of BMP-1,...
