Transcription profiling of rats with terminal heart failure and cachexia

ABSTRACT: Rats overexpressing the human renin and angiotensinogen genes die after seven weeks of end organ damage. They develop hypertension, heart hypertrophy and proteinuria.We compared terminal heart failure, these are indeed terminally ill to double transgenic animals suffering on hypertension, proteinuria and heart hypertrophy. In addition, Losartan-treated animals (10 mg/kg/d)showed similar physiological parameters (normotension, no proteinuria and no heart hypertrophy compared to control sprague dawley rats.
