Effect of exercise on plasma adrenomedullin and natriuretic peptide levels in myocardial infarction.

abstract：:An efficient animal model is fundamental for studies on the underlying mechanisms of constrictive pericarditis (CP). A novel CP rat model was established by pericardial injection composing of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and talcum powder without thoracotomy. Pathological changes were confirmed by histological staining. ...
