Maslinic acid protects against pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy in mice
Cardiac hypertrophy is characterized by myocyte hypertrophy, accumulation of cardiac collagen, and reactivation of fetal genes. Maslinic acid (MA) is a pentacyclic triterpene with abundance in olive fruit skin and possesses a number of pharmacological ...

Cardiac hypertrophy is inhibited by a local pool of cAMP regulated by phosphodiesterase 2 [PDF]
Rationale: Chronic elevation of 3'-5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels has been associated with cardiac remodelling and cardiac hypertrophy.

The bromodomain and extra-terminal domain proteins (BETs) family serve as epigenetic “readers”, which recognize the acetylated histones and recruit transcriptional regulator complexes to chromatin, eventually regulating gene transcription.

Intense myocyte formation from cardiac stem cells in human cardiac hypertrophy [PDF]
It is generally believed that increase in adult contractile cardiac mass can be accomplished only by hypertrophy of existing myocytes. Documentation of myocardial regeneration in acute stress has challenged this dogma and led to the proposition that ...

MicroRNAs in Cardiac Hypertrophy [PDF]
Like other organs, the heart undergoes normal adaptive remodeling, such as cardiac hypertrophy, with age. This remodeling, however, is intensified under stress and pathological conditions. Cardiac remodeling could be beneficial for a short period of time, to maintain a normal cardiac output in times of need; however, chronic cardiac hypertrophy may ...

Wogonin Inhibits Cardiac Hypertrophy by Activating Nrf-2-Mediated Antioxidant Responses
Background. Cardiac hypertrophy is one of the initial disorders of the cardiovascular system and can induce heart failure. Oxidative stress is an important pathophysiological mechanism of cardiac hypertrophy. Wogonin (Wog), an important flavonoid derived

Cardiac fibroblast-specific p38α MAP kinase promotes cardiac hypertrophy via a putative paracrine interleukin-6 signaling mechanism [PDF]
Recent studies suggest that cardiac fibroblast-specific p38α MAPK contributes to the development of cardiac hypertrophy, but the underlying mechanism is unknown.

Role of PI3-Kinase in Angiotensin II-Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy: Class I Versus Class III
Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive response to cardiac overload initially but turns into a decompensated condition chronically, leading to heart failure and sudden cardiac death.

Mechanisms of exercise-induced improvements in the contractile apparatus of the mammalian myocardium [PDF]
One of the main outcomes of aerobic endurance exercise training is the improved maximal oxygen uptake, and this is pivotal to the improved work capacity that follows the exercise training.
