Pharmacological inhibition of 11ßhydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 after myocardial infarction targets extracellular matrix processing and preserves cardiac function in a translational mini-pig model
2024-12-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background and Purpose</h4> Plasma glucocorticoids (GCs) increase acutely after myocardial infarction (MI), thereafter tissue levels are amplified selectively within cells expressing 11ßHydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase type 1 (11ßHSD1) that regenerates active GCs from circulating metabolites. GCs initially protect cardiomyocytes and prevent excessive inflammation after MI but can also suppress subsequent wound re...
