Abstract.: This work investigated the expression of alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) in the left ventricle and its putative role in cardiac angiogenesis in a pressure overload rat model induced by abdominal aorta coarctation. Blood pressure and protein levels of α7nAChR were measur...
