Apigenin protects myocardium by inhibiting the TGF-β1-mediated Smad signaling transduction pathway in acute myocardial infarcted rats
Apigenin is a non-mutagenic flavone that displays both cytostatic and cytoprotective activity. Here, we report results from a preliminary study which explored the mechanism by which apigenin protects myocardium against damage due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI). An AMI model was induced by occl...
