Abstract: Endogenous cardiotonic steroid, marinobufagenin (MBG), induces Fli1-dependent tissue fibrosis. We hypothesized that an increase in MBG initiates the development of aortic fibrosis in salt-loaded rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) via pressure-independent mechanism.DM2 was… read more here.
