ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the changes of cardiotrophin-1(CT-1) expression in rats with pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy,and the effects of benazepril on this expression and the concerned cardiac hypertrophy.Methods The model of pressure overload was established by constriction of abdominal aorta and divided randomly into hypertrophied group(LVH,n=7) and benazepril intervention group(Ben,n=7,benazepril 1mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1) orally)2 weeks later.A sham-operation group(Sham,n=7) served as control.Blood pressure and left ventricular mass index(LVMI) were investigated after 3 weeks' treatment.AngⅡ level in myocardium was measured by radioimmunoassay.The mRNA level of CT-1 was examined by RT-PCR.Results Compared with the sham group, blood pressure and LVMI in LVH group were increased significantly(P
