1 In this study, we elucidated the anti-hypertrophic action of metformin, specifically, the role of the AMPK/eNOS/p53 pathway. Metformin protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Rattus norvegicus
2 The AMPK inhibitor, compound C, prevented AT1R down-regulation, indicating that metformin mediated its effects via AMPK activation. Metformin protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Rattus norvegicus
3 The AMPK inhibitor, compound C, prevented AT1R down-regulation, indicating that metformin mediated its effects via AMPK activation. Metformin protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Rattus norvegicus
4 Thus, this study demonstrates that the anti-hypertrophic effects of metformin are associated with AMPK-induced AT1R down-regulation and prevention of mitochondrial dysfunction through the SIRT1/eNOS/p53 pathway. Metformin protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Rattus norvegicus
