In the study of "Puerarin prevents isoprenaline-induced myocardial fibrosis in mice by reduction of myocardial TGF-β1 expression" by Chen R, Xue J, Xie M., posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, found that that puerarin ( the main isoflavone isolated from the root of the wild leguminous creeper Pueraria lobata (Willd) Ohwi) could prevent isoprenaline-induced myocardial fibrosis in mice, and its mechanisms might be related to reduction of transforming growth factor-β1 expression via activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α/γ and subsequent inhibition of nuclear factor-κB in myocardial tissue.
