In vivo study | Treatment of Zucker diabetic fatty rats with Metaproterenol for 12 weeks attenuates monocyte activation as well as pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic responses in the kidneys and heart. Thus, Metaproterenol might has protective effects against diabetic renal and cardiovascular complications. |
