Renalase deficiency in heart failure model of rats--a potential mechanism underlying circulating norepinephrine accumulation.
<h4>Background</h4>Sympathetic overactivity and catecholamine accumulation are important characteristic findings in heart failure, which contribute to its pathophysiology. Here, we identify a potential mechanism underlying norepinephrine accumulation in a rat model of heart failure.<h...
