In Vivo | Serelaxin (0.5 mg/kg per day, subcutaneous administration) produces 20 to 40 ng/mL of circulating hormone, which successfully prevents and reduces fibrosis progression in various experimental models of injury. The doses do not exhibit significant toxicity[1]. Serelaxin restores endothelial function by increasing nitric oxide (NO)-mediated relaxation but not endothelium-derived hyperpolarisation (EDH)[2]. Animal Model: Six- to 8-week-old male mice (on a 129sv or 129sv×C57B6J background, which were equally sensitive to tissue injury and fibrosis)[1]. Dosage: 0.5 mg/kg. Administration: Subcutaneous administration per day for 7 days. Result: Produced 20 to 40 ng/mL of circulating hormone. |
