Are heart function and molecular biological parameters comparable in young adult and aged rats after chronic myocardial infarction?
These results indicate that aged rats compensate well for hemodynamic overload induced by MI. Also, the mechanisms of myocardial post-MI remodeling are comparable in young adult and aged rats.
This study confirms the importance of glucose for uterine contractility and, moreover, it underlines different patterns of contraction with regard to the hormonal status.
