Follistatin Attenuates Myocardial Fibrosis in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy via the TGF-β–Smad3 Pathway
Follistatin (FST) is an endogenous protein that irreversibly inhibits TGF-β superfamily members and plays an anti-fibrotic role in other diseases. However, the role of FST in diabetic cardiomyopathy remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of FST on diabetic cardiomyopathy. The ex...
