Abstract excerpt
Elevated wall stress by hypertension induces an adaptive myocardial hypertrophy via releasing prohypertrophic hormones such as angiotensin II. In this study, we investigated the involvement of bone morphogenetic protein-10 (BMP10) in hypertension-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Expression of BMP10 was increased in the hypertrophied ventricles from hypertensive rats. BMP10 localized on cell surface and at...
