Figure 5. This diagram summarizes the effects of estrogen deprivation and T2DM on cardiac remodeling.

Figure 5

Estrogen deprivation together with T2DM aggravates cardiac hypertrophy through oxidative stress and an inflammation pathway. However, T2DM increases cardiac fibrosis through TGF-β–p38MAPK and apoptosis pathway, and T2DM also augmented PGC-1α to increase ATP production as a compensatory mechanism.
