Abstract excerpt
Lipocalin-2 (Lcn2; also termed neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL)) levels correlate positively with heart failure (HF) yet mechanisms via which Lcn2 contributes to the pathogenesis of HF remain unclear. In this study, we used coronary artery ligation surgery to induce ischemia in wild-type (wt) mice and this induced a significant increase in myocardial Lcn2. We then compared wt and Lcn2 knockout...
