The staining revealed that the DOCA increased cardiac fibrosis when compared with the sham group. Cardiac fibrosis was attenuated by CG administration. (Fig. 7A), (Fig. 7B), connective tissue growth factor ((Fig. 7D) mRNA expression were increased in the DOCA alone group, consistent with the fibrosis seen by histology. mRNA expression were decreased with CG administration.

Saha Not Only Attenuates Hypertension But Also Has An Effect On Vascular Endothelial Function In Doca-induced Hypertensive Rats [15]. Although Cg Attenuated Hypertension In Doca-induced Hypertensive Rats (Fig. 1A), Cg Had Little Effect On Vascular Contraction (Fig. 2A, C) And Relaxation (Fig. 2B, D) In The Same Rats. HDAC is known to have two opposite functions in the heart: inhibition and induction of pathological cardiac hypertrophy. Class I HDACs (1, 2, 3, and 8) have Cxcr2 been shown to induce pathological hypertrophy, whereas class IIa HDACs (4, 5, 7, and 9) block cardiac hypertrophy [17]. HDACs respond.
