Angiotensin II receptor-mediated proliferation of cultured human fetal mesangial cells.
Accumulating evidence suggests that angiotensin II (Ang II) may play an important role in …

The left ventricle of the neonatal pig heart is a model of rapid physiological cardiac growth
that is dependent upon accelerated ribosome formation and increased RNA content. The …

The influence of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition on the development of left
ventricular (LV) hypertrophy due to stenosis of the aortic arch was studied in female Sprague …

We explored the role of the recently discovered" early growth response gene-1 (Egr-1)" in
the induction of myocardial protein synthesis by endothelin-1. Endothelin-1 stimulated …

We studied the role of the sympathetic nervous system and the renin angiotensin system for
pressure induced left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in 135 rats with experimental …

The newborn heart is an excellent model in which to study cardiac growth because the
neonatal period is a normal situation in which the left ventricle (LV) grows rapidly and the …

Angiotensin II has previously been reported to have in vivo and in vitro cardiac hypertrophic
effects. We used the salt-sensitive Dahl rat genetic strain to separate mechanical (pressure …

Vascular smooth muscle cells were isolated from the aortas of spontaneously hypertensive
rats and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats by use of the explant method on collagen gels …
