Catecholamine-induced cardiac hypertrophy in rats is associated with the activation of p70 kinase and c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase 2.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo assess the effect of intravenous infusion of adrenergic, hypertrophic agonists on the activity of the ribosomal S6 (p70(S6)) kinase and the c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase 2 (JNK2) in adult rat hearts. ANIMALS AND
methodsNoradrenaline (NA), isoproterenol (ISO), phenylephrine (PE), NA in combination with propranolol (NA+Prop) and NA in combination with prazosin (NA+Praz) were continuously intravenously infused in rat hearts for up to 72 h. The expression and phosphorylation status of JNK2 and p70(S6) kinase were investigated by western blotting and use of specific and phosphospecific antibodies. The activity of p70(S6) kinase was measured by incorporation of (32)P-labelled phosphate into the specific substrate S6 peptide.
resultsThe ratio of left ventricular weight to body weight was increased by NA, and by alpha- (PE, NA+Prop) and beta-adrenergic (ISO, NA+Praz) stimulation. Right ventricular weight to body weight ratio was higher only after beta-adrenergic stimulation (ISO, NA+Praz). p70(S6) kinase activity was stimulated predominantly through beta-adrenoceptors in parallel with left and right ventricular hypertrophy. Activation of JNK2 was mainly dependent on alpha-adrenoceptor activation, which led to hypertrophy of only the left ventricle.
conclusionsThe activation of p70(S6) kinase and JNK2 may be implicated in the development of catecholamine-induced cardiac hypertrophy in vivo.
