Summary

This paper is not about microplastic pollution. It studies the effects of icariin, a plant-derived compound, on cardiac function and tissue remodeling in rats after heart attacks, finding that it works through the TGF-beta1/Smad signaling pathway.

Body Systems
Models

In an experimental rat model of MI, the administration of icariin resulted in the amelioration of both cardiac function and remodeling processes, operating through the intricate TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway.
