Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to methods and pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of cardiovascular fibrosis. In particular, the present invention relates to an inhibitor of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) activity or expression for use in a method for treating or preventing cardiovascular fibrosis in a subject in need thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for treating cardiovascular fibrosis induced by aldosterone in a subject at risk of developing heart failure, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) expression, wherein inhibition of NGAL expression inhibits progression of cardiovascular fibrosis to heart failure.
