AICAR (Acadesine) · Biochemical and biophysical research communications · 2026 · Animal study · Preclinical
FGF21 may protect against sepsis-induced myocardial injury by enhancing mitochondrial function, but human studies are needed to confirm these findings.
5-day survival rate improved from ∼20% in CLP to ∼60% in CLP + OE-FGF21.
