Myocardial phospholipid remodeling under different types of load imposed during early postnatal development

Abstract

This review describes remodeling of phospholipids in rat myocardium during normal postnatal development and during accelerated cardiac growth (aorta constriction, chronic hypoxia and hyperthyroidism) induced by additional workload imposed on the heart early after birth.
