Abstract: BACKGROUND Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is closely related to cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Stimulating β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) can effectively combat cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Previous studies demonstrate that the gut microbial metabolite phenylacetylglycine (PAGly) can stimulate β2AR. However,… read more here.
