Polyamines and nitric oxide (NO) have been involved in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy. NO can regulate cardiac ion channels by direct actions on G-proteins and adenyl cyclase. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the molecular mechanism of interactions with polyamines and NO in cardiac hypertrophy.
