We investigated the role of cardiomyocyte apoptosis in the remodeling of the left ventricle
from 24 h to 12 wk after myocardial infarction in the rat. Infarct size planimetry, quantification …

Diabetic nephropathy is a major complication of diabetes leading to thickening of the
glomerular basement membrane, glomerular hypertrophy, mesangial expansion, and overt …

Background The optimal technique of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients at high
bleeding risk is not known. The hypothesis of the DEBUT trial was that percutaneous …

Objective Mutations in the LMNA gene encoding lamins A and C of the nuclear lamina are a
frequent cause of cardiomyopathy accounting for 5–8% of familial dilated cardiomyopathy …

In this study we examined diabetes-and hypertension-induced changes in cardiac structure
and function in an animal model of type 2 diabetes, the Goto–Kakizaki (GK) rat. We …

We have shown earlier that cardiomyocyte apoptosis continues at a high level late after
myocardial infarction and contributes to adverse cardiac remodeling. Here we studied …

In the present work constitutive progesterone receptor (PR) expression in the chicken bursa
of Fabricius was detected in the stromal, smooth muscle and follicular medullary cells and …

The aim of our study was to compare the cardioprotective effects of vasopeptidase inhibition
with those of angiotensin type 1 (AT1)-receptor blockade, a diuretic and the combination of …

The pharmacological profile of a vasopeptidase inhibitor is dependent on the ratio of neutral
endopeptidase (NEP) vs angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition of the particular …
