Urea transporters have been cloned from kidney medulla (UT-A) and erythrocytes (UT-B).
We determined whether UT-A proteins could be detected in heart and whether their …

These studies were designed to determine the consequences of constitutive overexpression
of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in the heart. Induction of ODC is known to occur in …

It is well established that the intracellular receptors of androgens act as transcription factors
upon their activation by androgen binding. However, a growing number of studies have …

Cardiac polyamines are thought to protect the myocardium against harmful stimuli and to be
regulated by sympathetic nerve activation. In the present study, polyamines concentrations …

This experiment was designed to determine how the angiotensin-converting enzyme
inhibitor, lisinopril, acts on left ventricular wall stress and cardiac polyamine concentrations …

The influence of putrescine low concentrations on contractile activity of myocardium in large
and small laboratory animals and possible mechanisms of its direct and/or mediated …

Cardiac muscle hypertrophy is one of the most important compensatory responses of the
heart to multiple stresses that may be placed on it. If the stress is not relieved, sustained …

En esta tesis se ha estudiado el papel de la vía Rho quinasa, así como otros componentes
relacionados con la neuroinflamación, como el receptor para (pro) renina y el colesterol en …

Adrenoceptors are a large family of seven membrane spanning G-protein coupled receptors
involved in many regulatory processes of the heart. Under conditions of mechanical load to …

Heart failure (HF) is a devastating condition that impacts our society emotionally,
physiologically, and fiscally, and it is a growing problem in the United States. Aberrant …
