Ghrelin Ameliorates Angiotensin II-Induced Myocardial Fibrosis by Upregulating Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma in Young Male Rats

Figure 8

Ghrelin increased PPAR-γ protein expression in cardiac fibroblasts stimulated by Ang II. PPAR-γ protein expression by immunoblotting in different concentrations of Ghrelin (1, 10, 100, or 1000 nM) pretreatment group. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 6 each per group, p<0.05 versus Control; ^#p<0.05 versus Ang II.
