Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) could contribute to enhanced leukocyte recruitment and activation resulting in chronic tissue damage. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of cardiac MCP-1 expression. To elucidate these molecular mechanisms, angiotensin II-induced expression of MCP-1 was examined in cultured rat neonatal ventricular cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts by...
