Abstract

Recent studies have implicated a relationship between RhoA/ROCK activity and defective Ca2+ homeostasis in hypertrophic hearts. This study investigated molecular mechanism underlying ROCK inhibition-mediated cardioprotection against pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy, with a focus on Ca2+ homeostasis.
