Mechanistic attenuation by L-carnitine of trastuzumab-induced downregulation of adenosine monophosphate -activated protein kinase signal in cardiac H9c2 cells

Clinical usefulness of trastuzumab (TZ) is restrained owing to its cardiotoxic effect. This investigation was initiated to evaluate the potential protective impact of carnitine (CARN) against TZ-related cardiac influence; and to uncover the underlining mechanism. Cytotoxic effect...
