Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Cardiac hypertrophy is closely associated with the development of cardiomyopathies that lead to heart failure. The alpha(1B) adrenergic receptor (alpha(1)-AR) is an important regulator of the hypertrophic process. Cardiac hypertrophy induced by systemic overexpression of the alpha(1b)-AR in a mouse model does not progress to heart failure. We wanted to explore potential gene expression differences that...
