Changes of creatine kinase gene expression in rat heart post-myocardial infarction.
Creatine kinase (CK) plays a crucial role in cardiac energy transduction. During chronic cardiac stress conditions leading to hypertrophy and/or heart failure, the profile of CK isoenzyme activities changes towards a fetal pattern with increases of BB- and MB-CK and decreases of MM-CK and mito-CK. C...
