Potent long-term cardioprotective effects of single low-dose insulin-like growth factor-1 treatment postmyocardial infarction

Potent long-term cardioprotective effects of single low-dose insulin-like growth factor-1 treatment postmyocardial infarction

Background-Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is recognized as an important regulator of cardiac structure and cardiomyocyte homeostasis.
