Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) has been demonstrated to be correlated to activation of pro-inflammatory immune cells and tissue injury. This study focused on the role of CCR5 in myocardial injury in rats with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) and the mechanism of action. METHODS: A rat model of DCM was induced by streptozotocin (STZ). CCR5 was knocked down in rats to determine its role in myocardial...
