Abstract excerpt
Transgenic (TG) mice with cardiac-specific overexpression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha develop congestive heart failure. We have previously reported that short-term inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) ameliorates beta-adrenergic hyporesponsiveness in TG mice. To examine whether...
