Abstract excerpt
Maladaptive cardiac hypertrophy results in phenotypic changes in several genes that are thyroid hormone responsive, suggesting that thyroid hormone receptor (TR) function may be altered by cellular kinases, including protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes that are activated in pathological hypertrophy. To investigate the role of PKC signaling in regulating TR function, cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes were...
