1 Simvastatin ameliorates ventricular remodeling via the TGF-beta1 signaling pathway in rats following myocardial infarction. Simvastatin transforming growth factor, beta 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 The results revealed that simvastatin significantly improved the hemodynamic indexes, left ventricular mass index, the myocardial tissue structure, the cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area and the collagen volume fraction, and also showed that the levels of TGF-beta1, TGF-activated kinase (TAK)1 and drosophila mothers against decapentaplegic (Smad)3 were significantly reduced following treatment with simvastatin, while the levels of Smad7 in the simvastatin treatment groups were markedly increased.
