HDAC Inhibition Suppresses Cardiac Hypertrophy and Fibrosis in DOCA-Salt Hypertensive Rats via Regulation of HDAC6/HDAC8 Enzyme Activity

Background: Inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) was reported to suppress cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in various hypertrophic animal models. However, the HDAC expression profile and HDAC enzyme activity have not yet been investigated in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. Methods: Unilaterally nep...
