Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To assess the effects of Aleglitazar on hyperglycaemia-induced apoptosis. METHODS: We incubated human cardiomyocytes, cardiomyocytes from cardiac-specific peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ knockout or wild-type mice in normoglycaemic or hyperglycaemic conditions (glucose 25 mM). Cells were treated with different concentrations of Aleglitazar for 48 h. We measured viability, apoptosis,...
