Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Cardiac angiogenesis is an important determinant of heart failure. We examined the hypothesis that protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)-1B, a negative regulator of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor-2 activation, is causally involved in the cardiac microvasculature rarefaction during hypertrophy and that deletion of PTP1B in endothelial cells prevents the development of heart failure. METHODS...
