Thyroid Hormone Increases TGF-β1 in Cardiomyocytes Cultures Independently of Angiotensin II Type 1 and Type 2 Receptors
TH-induced cardiac hypertrophy in vivo is accompanied by increased cardiac Transforming Growth Factor-β1 (TGF-β1) levels, which is mediated by Angiotensin II type 1 receptors (AT1R) and type 2 receptors (AT2R). However, the possible involvement of this factor in TH-induced cardiac hypertrophy is unk...
