Cardiac proteostasis in obesity and cardiovascular disease
8 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are closely linked to protein homeostasis (proteostasis) and its failure. Beside genetic mutations that impair cardiac protein quality control, obesity is a strong risk factor for heart disease. In obesity, adipose tissue becomes dysfunctional and impacts heart function and CVD progression by releasing cytokines that contribute to systemic insulin resistance and cardiovascular...
