The authors investigated the therapeutic value of L-Proline (Pro), a nonessential amino acid against oxidative stress cardiovascular disease (CVD). Findings suggested that Pro protects against MI injury at least partially via redox regulation, highlighting the potential of Pro as a novel therapy for ischemic HF caused by CHD.
