Endothelial arginase II: a novel target for the treatment of atherosclerosis.

abstract：RATIONALE:Overexpression of muscle atrophy F-box (MAFbx/atrogin-1), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, induces proteasomal degradation in cardiomyocytes. The role of endogenous MAFbx in regulating cardiac hypertrophy and failure remains unclear. OBJECTIVE:We investigated the role of MAFbx in regulating cardiac hypertrophy and fu...
