Polyamines are thought to play an essential role in cellular hypertrophy and proliferation.
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) catalyzes the first and probably the rate-limiting step in
biosynthesis of polyamines. In this study, we evaluated the pathophysiological role of the
renin-angiotensin system in isoproterenol-induced cardiac hypertrophy, using myocardial
ODC activity as an indicator of cadiac hypertrophy. Isoproterenol caused an eight-fold
increase of myocardial ODC activity in normotensive Wistar rats within 4 h after injection …
