Differential Regulation of Myocardial Cell Apoptosis by α- and β-Adrenergic Pathways
Chapter
Abstract
The apoptosis of cardiac myocytes may play a role in the development of heart failure.1–3 Norepinephrine is one of factors activated in heart failure4 and can induce myocardial cell apoptosis in culture.5 However, it is unknown if α- and β-adrenergic pathways coordinately or differentially regulate apoptosis and if this apoptotic pathway utilizes common or cell type-specific apoptotic signals.
