This study examined the direct effect of angiotensin II (ANG II) on cardiac muscle atrophy previously observed in the denervated rat heart. Rats with transplanted hearts were infused with normal saline (1 microliter/h) or a subpressor dose of ANG II dissolved in saline (3 micrograms.kg-1.h-1) for 1 wk. Left ventricular (LV) mass of transplanted hearts decreased by 29 and 18% in the saline-infused and ANG II-infused groups, respectively (P < 0.05). Total LV protein synthesis of the transplanted heart was 1.4 +/- 0.1 mg.LV-1.day-1 in the saline compared with 2.2 +/- 0.2 mg.LV-1.day-1 in the ANG II (P < 0.05) group. Heart rate and carotid systolic arterial pressures were not affected by ANG II infusion, and the decrease in alpha-myosin heavy chain normally observed in this model was unchanged between the two groups (61 +/- 3 and 66 +/- 1%, saline vs. ANG II). These data demonstrate that ANG II increases total cardiac protein synthesis in the adult heart, leading to an attenuation in cardiac atrophy. The failure of ANG II to prevent the shift from alpha- to beta-myosin heavy chain may be related to its lack of an effect on heart rate, since other interventions that affect myosin isoenzyme distribution also increase heart rate.
