Inhibition of high glucose-induced cardiac fibroblast activation: an effective treatment for diabetic cardiomyopathy using Chinese herbal medicine by Bin Wan, Jing Hu, Yue Luo, Yutong Han, Yaowen Zhang, Qinchuan Huang, Yulin Leng, Chunguang Xie, Chunguang Xie

“…In this review, we first introduced the physiology and function of CFs and discussed the conditions for the pathological activation of CFs in the process of diabetes, and then systematically summarized the effects of CHM on the activation of CFs by controlling the production of advanced glycosylation end products, oxidative stress and inflammation. This review will illustrate the potential of CHM to inhibit the activation of CFs and provide new ideas for the treatment of DCM.…”
