α-Adrenergic-mediated myocyte hypertrophy is not affected by AFos expression. Myocytes were infected with β-Gal (100 MOI) or AFos (100 MOI) on culture day 0 and treated with phenylephrine (PE, 20 μmol/l) or vehicle on day 2 for 48 h. Myocytes were harvested on culture day 4 for protein synthesis analysis. Data shown are compiled from N = 6 experiments. Radio-labeled protein (RLP) assay indicates newly synthesized protein, and Bradford indicates total protein content as independent measures of myocyte growth.
