Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hspa1a and Hspa1b genes encode stress-inducible 70-kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70) that protect cells from insults such as ischemia. Mice with null mutations of both genes (KO) were generated, and their cardiac phenotype was explored. METHODS AND RESULTS: Heart rate and blood pressure...
