Abstract excerpt
Heart failure is associated with downregulation of the fatty acid oxidation pathway in the ventricular myocardium. Since angiotensin II plays a critical role in myocardial phenotypic changes associated with heart failure, we investigated the effect of chronic angiotensin II stimulation on the fatty acid oxidation pathway in transgenic (TG) mice with targeted overexpression of angiotensinogen in the myocardium...
