Cardiac hypertrophy and expression of the natriuretic peptide system in genetic models of heme oxygenase-1
(2009-10-20)
Objective: Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has been well established as a cytoprotective molecule, and has been shown to exert cardioprotective effects in both hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy. However, the precise mechanism ...
