AdipoRon Attenuates Hypertension-Induced Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Renal Fibrosis via Promoting Epithelial Autophagy.

Hypertension-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a major mechanism of renal fibrosis. Adiponectin protects against hypertension-induced target organ damage. AdipoRon is an orally active synthetic adiponectin receptor agonist.
