Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The transcription factor FoxO3 contributes to anti-hypertrophic signalling in the heart presumably by regulating autophagic-lysosomal and ubiquitin-proteasomal pathways. We wanted to study FoxO3 function in the adult heart in vivo by expressing a constitutively active mutant of FoxO3 in transgenic mice. METHODS AND RESULTS: We generated transgenic mice in which a tetracycline-regulated constitutively active...
