Gastrin mediates cardioprotection through angiogenesis after myocardial infarction by activating the HIF-1α/VEGF signalling pathway

Abstract Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of death in humans. Our previous studies showed that gastrin alleviated acute myocardial ischaemia–reperfusion injury. We hypothesize that gastrin might protect against heart injury after MI by promoting angiogenesis. An MI model...
