Piperine Attenuates Pathological Cardiac Fibrosis Via PPAR-γ/AKT Pathways

Piperine Attenuates Pathological Cardiac Fibrosis Via PPAR-γ/AKT Pathways

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and AMP­activated protein kinase α (AMPKα) play critical roles in the process of cardiac hypertrophy. Previous studies have demonstrated that piperine activates AMPKα and reduces the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). However, th...
