Puerarin Protects against Cardiac Fibrosis Associated with the Inhibition of TGF- β1/Smad2-Mediated Endothelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition.

CONCLUSION: Puerarin protected against TAC-induced cardiac fibrosis, and this protective effect may be attributed to the upregulation of PPAR-γ and the inhibition of TGF-β1/Smad2-mediated EndMT.
