Fenofibrate ameliorates cardiac hypertrophy by activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α partly via preventing p65-NFκB binding to NFATc4.

Highlights: [•] Fenofibrate ameliorates cardiac hypertrophy in vivo and in vitro. [•] The interaction between p65-NFκB and NFATc4 regulates cardiac hypertrophy. [•] Fenofibrate attenuates cardiac hypertrophy via activating PPAR-α and thereby preventing the association of p65-NFκB with NFATc4. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
