- Description:
- Aortic banding induced in 2-day-old (A2) and 6-day-old (A6) male rats increased the left ventricular (LV) weight after 60 days; right ventricular (RV) enlargement occurred in the A2 group only. The concentration of collagenous proteins in the LV was elevated in both experimental groups (more in the A2 rats) at the expenses of sarcoplasmic proteins. Aortic banding also affected the proportion of collagen types (lower collagen I, higher collagen 111, V) and myosin light chains (higher LC1/LC2) in the LV. Similar changes of proteins in the RV were less pronounced.
