title: Effects of pertussis toxin on alpha 1-agonist-mediated phosphatidylinositide turnover and myocardial cell hypertrophy in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes.
abstract: In neonatal rat ventricular myocytes pretreatment with pertussis toxin did not affect 1 microM (-)-norepinephrine stimulation of inositol phosphates or myocardial cell hypertrophy as measured either by protein radiolabelling or by myocardial cell protein content. Thus guanine nucleotide protein(s) ADP-ribosylated by pertussis toxin do not play a role in two alpha 1-adrenoceptor-mediated processes, phosphatidylinositide turnover and induction of myocardial cell hypertrophy.
