From: Resistance to cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in ae3 −/− mice, deficient in the AE3 Cl−/HCO3 −exchanger
Cardiomyocyte size in WT and ae3 −/− mice. Cardiomyocytes were isolated from male adult hearts of wildtype (ae3 +/+, open bar) and knock-out (ae3 −/−, black bar) mice. Total cell surface area of rod-shaped cardiac cells was determined by morphometry. Data are expressed as a percentage relative to the wildtype cells. * P < 0.05 compared to WT (n = 6 mice in each group).
