2021-06-07
Abstract excerpt
Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes of death world-wide and is associated with cardiac metabolic perturbations. Human Type 2 Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy (BSCL2) disease is caused by mutations in the BSCL2 gene. Global lipodystrophic Bscl2 −/− mice exhibit hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Whether BSCL2 plays a direct role in regulating cardiac substrate metabolism and/or contractile functi...
