title: Vaspin Alleviates Pathological Cardiac Hypertrophy By Regulating Autophagy-Dependent Myocardial Senescence
abstract: Abstract Background: Visceral adipose tissue derived serine protease inhibitor (vaspin), a secretory adipokine, was reported to play a protective role in insulin resistance. Recent studies have demonstrated that serum vaspin levels are downregulated in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and that vaspin has a protective effect on myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) and atherosclerosis. However, whether vaspin exerts specific effects on pathological cardiac hypertrophy remains u
