Inhibition of cardiac ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) by alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) did not prevent normal cardiac growth in mature rats but attenuated isoproterenol-induced hypertrophy. Hypertrophy caused by triiodothyronine was not prevented by DFMO. There appear to be both ODC-dependent and ODC-independent processes contributing to the subcellular mechanisms associated with growth, which must be considered in the potential laboratory and clinical use of DFMO.
