Anti-Ischemic Effect of Leptin in the Isolated Rat Heart Subjected to Global Ischemia-Reperfusion: Role of Cardiac-Specific miRNAs
Background: Leptin is an obesity-associated adipokine that has been implicated in cardiac protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). In this study, concentration-dependent effects of leptin on myocardial IRI were investigated in the isolated rat heart. In addition, we analyzed myocardial...
