Magnoflorine attenuates Ang II-induced cardiac remodeling via promoting AMPK-regulated autophagy.

Background: Heart failure (HF) remains one of the most common events in the progression of hypertension. Magnoflorine (MNF) has been shown beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. However, the action of MNF on angiotensin (Ang) II-induced cardiac remodeling and its underlying mechanisms have not yet been characterised.
