Furthermore, we also found GEN alleviated cardiac hypertrophy post‐MI, as evidenced by that heart weight /body weight (HW/BW) and mRNA levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the MI + GEN group was lower than that in MI group (Figure 1S–U). This evidence concerns the gene NPPB and cardiac hypertrophy.
