BMC Physiology 2009, 9 :23
The transcriptional profile of cardiac hypertrophy induced by isoprotenol in mice differs significantly from that induced by exercise while cross-study comparisons reveal close parallels to human ischemia and a 64-gene expression signature shared by all failing hearts.
BMC Physiology 2009, 9 :21
Chronic exposure to leaded or unleaded gasoline vapors in male rats impaired the levels of monoamine neurotransmitters in their brain, increased lipid peroxidation and was accompanied with a higher tendency towards aggressive behavior.
BMC Physiology 2009, 9 :20
Three distinct phases in the process of salt-induced hypertension were identified in rat time-course experiments and were used to construct a reliable mathematical model of salt-induced hypertension.
