These findings clearly indicate that Et-1 treatment to cardiomyocytes can induce ROS via Ras pathway and the increased ROS are involved in the increase of c-fos expression. Our studies thus emphasize the importance of ROS as second messengers in Et-1-induced responses on cardiomyocytes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
