摘要: Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ) has been closely involved in the process of cardiovascular diseases. This study was to investigate whether pioglitazone (PIO), a PPARγ agonist, could protect against pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Mice were orally given PIO (2.5 mg/kg) from 1 week after aortic banding and continuing for 7 weeks. The morphological examination biochemical analysis used evaluate effects PIO. Neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes also verify protection hypertrophy vitro. results our demonstrated that remarkably inhibited hypertrophic response induced by vivo. Besides, suppressed fibrosis treatment activation protein kinase B (AKT)/glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) mitogen-activated (MAPK) heart. In addition, alleviated angiotensin II-induced conclusion, inhibit via attenuation AKT/GSK3β MAPK pathways.
