Effect of Sini decoction on angiotensin II, transforming growth factor β1 and connective tissue growth factor in rats with myocardial fibrosis-induced banding of the abdominal aorta

Sini decoction reduced Ang II level and inhibited the expression of myocardial TGF-β1 and CTGF, which may explain the mechanism of its protective effect on myocardium with fibrosis.
