Abstract excerpt
Dominant mutations in the gamma2 regulatory subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), encoded by the gene PRKAG2, cause glycogen storage cardiomyopathy. We sought to elucidate the effect of the Thr400Asn (T400N) human mutation in a transgenic mouse (TGT400N) on AMPK activity, and its ability to protect the heart against ischemia-reperfusion injury. TGT400N hearts had markedly vacuolated myocytes, excessive...
