Cardiac hypertrophy and expression of the natriuretic peptide system in genetic models of heme oxygenase-1
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 of the cardioprotective effect of HO-1 has yet to be fully elucidated. The natr...
