Abstract excerpt
Cardiac gene expressions of collagen and contractile proteins were examined in rats treated with a nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor, NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), for 3 weeks. The rats became hypertensive, which caused left ventricular hypertrophy. Among the mRNAs examined, beta-myosin heavy chain was increased and alpha-myosin heavy chain was decreased in both left and right ventricles, whereas...
