In the rat model of cardiac hypertrophy by constriction of the abdominal aorta, BBR has been reported to attenuate cardiomyocyte enlargement and pressure-overloaded myocardial hypertrophy through enhancing autophagy and down-regulating the expression of lncRNA myocardial infarction associated transcript (MIAT) [6]. This evidence concerns the gene MIAT and cardiac hypertrophy.
