Article title: Angiotensin-(1–7) reduces doxorubicin-induced cardiac dysfunction in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats through antioxidant mechanisms
Authors: Omeed Rahimi, Jay Kirby, Jasmina Varagic, Brian Westwood, E. Ann Tallant, Patricia E. Gallagher
From the authors: “[Angiotensin]-(1–7) is a clinically safe peptide hormone with cardioprotective and antineoplastic properties that could be used as an adjuvant therapy to improve cancer treatment and mitigate the long-term cardiotoxicity associated with doxorubicin in pediatric patients with cancer.”
This study is highlighted as one of April’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society’s APSselect program.
