Heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) has been reported to protect against cardiac hypertrophy in cultured neonatal cardiomyocytes treated with HO-1 inducer, cardiac specific HO-1 transgenic mice, or animals treated with HO-1 inducer. The aim of the present study is to examine the effects of systemic HO-1 transgenic overexpression on pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy in mice.
