Does Ad-miR-21 improve left ventricular remodeling and decrease apoptosis in a rat model of ischemia-reperfusion injury?
Overexpression of miR-21 protects against ischemia-reperfusion injury by reducing myocardial infarct size, decreasing apoptosis, and attenuating left ventricular remodeling in a rat model.
