Protective effects of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 on cardiac remodeling by inhibiting oxidative stress through mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1/p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase pathway in diabetes mellitus

Although increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation is a major mechanism leading to cardiac remodeling in diabetes mellitus, research into the effects of anti-oxidation on diabetic cardiac remodeling remains scarce and controversial. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) shows potential anti-oxidative effects besides lowering blood glucose. The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of GLP-1 on cardiac remodeling and the...
