Abstract excerpt
The present study was designed to provide a better understanding of the role played by AdoMetDC (S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase), the key rate-controlling enzyme in the synthesis of spermidine and spermine, in controlling polyamine levels and the importance of polyamines in cardiac physiology. The alphaMHC (alpha-myosin heavy chain) promoter was used to generate transgenic mice with cardiac-specific...
