Hypothesis-generating for Ang/Tie2 modulation post-MI; leaves open whether targeting this axis improves outcomes in larger models or humans.
In a rat model of myocardial infarction, reciprocal regulation of Ang-1 and Ang-2 occurs, suggesting Ang-2 plays a predominant role in the post-MI angiogenic response.
