Adrenergic regulation of rat FGF-2 gene expression in the heart
Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) is a potent ubiquitous, multifunctional peptide growth factor. The myocardium releases FGF-2 with every contraction through transient disruptions in the sarcolemma of cardiac myocytes. Such release of FGF-2 can be increased with adrenergic stimulation. This led to...
