Cardioprotective activity of placental growth factor combined with oral supplementation of l-arginine in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction.
2016
Objective
Exogenous administration of placental growth factor (PlGF) stimulates angiogenesis and improves ventricular remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and supplementation with l-arginine ameliorates endothelial function. The objective of the present study was to compare the cardioprotective effects of combination therapy of PlGF and l-arginine with those of direct administration of PlGF alone in a rat model of AMI.
