Abstract: AIM: To observe the inhibition effects of cross-talk between kappa opioid receptor (κ-OR)and β1 -adrenoceptor (β1 -AR)on hypertrophic myocardial cells induced by isoproterenol (ISO)in neonatal rats.METHODS: The total protein content was assayed by the meth-od of Lowry's.The cardiomyocytes' volume was mea-sured by computer photograph analysis system and the protein synthesis was assayed with [3H] leucine intake method. RESULTS: ISO enhanced the total protein con-tent, the cardiomyocytes' volume and the protein synthe-sis in myocardial cells.U50, 488H (U50)showed the function inhibited by nor-BNI on reducing the previous mentioned indices induced by ISO.U50 also attenuated the hypertrophy induced by ISO combined with ICI118, 551(β2 -AR inhibitor).CONCLUSION: κ-OR has a cross-talkwith β1 -adrenoceptor in ISO-induced myocardial hypertrophy.
