High glucose conditions can induce an increased synthesis of thrombospondin-1 and neuropeptide Y in myocardium of STZ-induced rats. "Diabetic cardiomyopathy was the most dangerous diabetic complication facing diabetics, with its exact mechanisms remaining obscure. Our study was conducted to investigate the expression of thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) in myocardium of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats," researchers in People's Republic of China report.
