Hypothesis-generating for cinnamon polyphenols in diabetic cardiomyopathy; human trials needed before any clinical consideration.
Do cinnamon polyphenols ameliorate myocardial damage and dysregulation of cardiac energy and autophagic homeostasis in rats with diabetic cardiomyopathy?
Cinnamon polyphenols alleviate myocardial damage in a rat model of diabetic cardiomyopathy by restoring energy metabolism and autophagic homeostasis via the mTOR/PGC1α pathway.
