Abstract excerpt
Fibroblast growth factors (FGF) and type beta-1 transforming growth factor (TGF beta 1) are pleiotropic regulatory peptides which are expressed in myocardium in a precise developmental and spatial program and are up-regulated, in the adult heart, by ischemia or a hemodynamic burden. The accumulation of trophic factors after aortic banding supports the hypothesis that autocrine or paracrine pathways might function...
