This reduced NO bioactivity results in altered control of the coronary circulation and cardiac metabolism. This study was undertaken to determine the global changes in cardiac gene expression in dogs fed LS diet (0.5% NaCI) for two weeks. Cardiac RNA was extracted from the control and LS fed ...
Other effects of LS in the WT mice included significant increases in BP and total peripheral resistance (TPR) and a reduced cardiac output (CO) with no sign of hypertrophy. On the protein and gene expression levels, LS diet caused a significant upregulation of nitrotyrosine (nTyr) and the ...
