Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Despite its known cardiovascular benefits, the intracellular signalling mechanisms underlying physiological cardiac growth remain poorly understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate a novel role of p21-activated kinase-1 (Pak1) in the regulation of exercise-induced cardiac hypertrophy. METHODS AND RESULTS: Wild-type (WT) and Pak1 KO mice were subjected to 6 weeks of treadmill...
