Melatonin Alleviates Hyperglycemia-Induced Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis via Regulation of Long Non-Coding RNA H19/miR-29c/MAPK Axis in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy
Recent studies revealed that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play a crucial role in pathophysiological processes involved in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) that contribute to heart failure. The present study was designed to further investigate the anti-apoptotic effect of melatonin on cardiomyocytes in diabetic conditions, and to elucidate the potential mechanisms associated with ncRNAs. In animal models, we
