Abstract excerpt
Cardiac hypertrophy is characterized by increased cardiomyocyte protein synthesis, increased cell volume, and a shift in cardiac-specific gene expression to fetal isoforms. Using neonatal rat cardiomyocytes stimulated with fetal calf serum (FCS) as a model for cardiac hypertrophy, the present study investigated the role of 2 signal transduction pathways, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p70S6...
