flutamide and Cardiac Hypertrophy

flutamide has been researched along with Cardiac Hypertrophy in 1 studies

Flutamide: An antiandrogen with about the same potency as cyproterone in rodent and canine species.

Cardiac Hypertrophy: Enlargement of the HEART due to chamber HYPERTROPHY, an increase in wall thickness without an increase in the number of cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC). It is the result of increase in myocyte size, mitochondrial and myofibrillar mass, as well as changes in extracellular matrix.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In the current studies, we found that cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis were significantly more pronounced in males compared with females of guanylyl cyclase-A knockout (GC-A KO) mice at 16 wk of age."1.32Androgen contributes to gender-related cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in mice lacking the gene encoding guanylyl cyclase-A.
