Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the extracellular matrix gene expression in the hypertrophied left ventricular tissue of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats, at early and mature ages. Interestingly, with age, a marked increase (+85% and +187% at 25 and 30 weeks of age, respectively, pKeywords
