Assessment of the cardioprotective effect of liraglutide on methotrexate induced cardiac dysfunction through suppression of inflammation and enhancement of angiogenesis in rats

OBJECTIVE: Methotrexate (MTX) is one of the most commonly used anti-cancer drugs for various types of neoplasms. It is associated with multiple cytotoxic effects including nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity. Liraglutide (LIR) is a potent anti-diabetic drug and also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we tried to investigate the protective effect of LIR … Continue reading Assessment of the cardioprotective effect of liraglutide on methotrexate induced cardiac dysfunction through suppression of inflammation and enhancement of angiogenesis in rats
