Abstract excerpt
Heart failure is accompanied by important defects in metabolism. The transcriptional coactivator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1alpha (PGC-1alpha) is a powerful regulator of mitochondrial biology and metabolism. PGC-1alpha and numerous genes regulated by PGC-1alpha are repressed in models of cardiac stress, such as that generated by transverse aortic constriction (TAC). This finding...
