Artemisinin Attenuated Atherosclerosis in High-Fat Diet-Fed ApoE-/- Mice by Promoting Macrophage Autophagy Through the AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 Pathway.

abstract：:Chronic heart failure (HF) is associated with increased systemic (plasma) and reduced local (myocardial) adenosine levels. The final biological action of adenosine in a particular organ or cell population may depend on the relative degree of expression and signaling efficiency of individual adenosine receptor (AR) sub...
