eflornithine and Cardiomegaly

eflornithine has been researched along with Cardiomegaly in 6 studies

Eflornithine: An inhibitor of ORNITHINE DECARBOXYLASE, the rate limiting enzyme of the polyamine biosynthetic pathway.
eflornithine : A fluoroamino acid that is ornithine substituted by a difluoromethyl group at position 2.

Cardiomegaly: Enlargement of the HEART, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. Heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both HEART VENTRICLES or HEART ATRIA. Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (HEART FAILURE) or several forms of CARDIOMYOPATHIES.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Whether DFMO attenuates cardiac hypertrophy through endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is unclear."5.43Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress is Involved in DFMO Attenuating Isoproterenol-Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy in Rats. ( Jin, L; Li, B; Lian, J; Lin, Y; Liu, J; Wang, J; Xiao, W; Zhang, X; Zhou, L, 2016)
"The responses of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) to isoproterenol have been examined in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts, AMPK represents the link between cell growth and energy availability whereas ODC, the key enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis, is essential for all growth processes and it is thought to have a role in the development of cardiac hypertrophy."3.78Evidence that AMP-activated protein kinase can negatively modulate ornithine decarboxylase activity in cardiac myoblasts. ( Caldarera, CM; Campana, G; Cetrullo, S; Flamigni, F; Gottardi, D; Guarnieri, C; Passariello, CL; Pignatti, C; Stefanelli, C; Tantini, B; Zini, M, 2012)
"In this study, we determined whether the persistency of cardiac hypertrophy after chronic vasodilation therapy with minoxidil (minox) was associated with functional or metabolic alterations in hypertensive rat hearts before, during and after an ischemic insult."3.68[Effect of long-term administration of vasodilators and "antitrophic" agents on the structure and function of the heart in hypertensive rats].
