Omega-3 fatty acids and melatonin affect activity of extracellular matrix metalloproteinase-2 in the plasma, aorta and heart of isoproterenol injured normotensive and hypertensive rats.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: variable expression of mutant and wildtype protein from cell-to-cell leading to contractile imbalance - a possible trigger for pathogenesis
Shock wave therapy improves cardiac function in a model of chronic ischemic heart failure-evidence for a mechanism involving VEGF signaling and the extracellular matrix
Speaker:
Associate Professor J. Holfeld (Innsbruck, AT)
Non-hypertrophic and hypertrophic human cardiomyocytes secrete unprocessed ANP and BNP precursors (proANP/proBNP) and exhibit a similar efficiency in their processing
