Abstract:
AIM: To investigate the effects of pueraria lobata isoflavones (PLIs) on neuropeptide-Y(NPY)-induced myocardiac cell hypertrophy in vitro. METHODS: Rat cardiomyocytes cultured in vitro were randomized to control, NPY, NPY+PLIs and PLIs group. The protein synthesis in cardiomyocytes was assessed by [~3H-Leu] uptake, C-jun mRNA by RT-PCR and CaN activity by histochemistry. RESULTS: The rate of [~3H-Leu] uptake, the C-jun mRNA expression and the CaN activity of myocardiac cells in 100 nmol/L NPY group were higher than those in control (P
