Axl expression is increased in early stages of left ventricular remodeling in an animal model with pressure-overload.
BackgroundAXL is a receptor tyrosine kinase that has been related to kidney and vascular disorders.Heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction have higher AXL in serum than controls.No information about Axl expression with HF progression is available.MethodsThoracic transverse aortic constriction (TAC) was successfully performed on male W
