Trimetazidine 0-13 cellular communication network factor 2 Rattus norvegicus 95-126 31363380-3 2019 The present study aimed to determine the modulatory effect of TMZ on reactive oxygen species (ROS) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression and to evaluate the potential of TMZ to improve diastolic function in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Trimetazidine 62-65 cellular communication network factor 2 Rattus norvegicus 103-134 31363380-4 2019 After treating STZ-induced diabetic rats with TMZ for 16 weeks, a decrease in malondialdehyde levels, cardiac collagen volume fraction, left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic pressure and protein expression of collagen-I (Col I), Col III and CTGF compared with those in diabetic control rats was observed. Trimetazidine 46-49 cellular communication network factor 2 Rattus norvegicus 239-243 31363380-5 2019 In vitro, TMZ inhibited Col I, Col III and CTGF protein expression in cardiac fibroblasts treated with high glucose and decreased intracellular ROS generation and hydroxyproline content in the cell culture medium of cardiac fibroblasts.
