Mitochondrial protein acetylation and left ventricular function in a model of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart failure
Rationale: The childhood heart disease of Friedreich’s Ataxia (FRDA) is characterized by hypertrophy and failure. It is caused by loss of frataxin (FXN), a mitochondrial protein involved in energy homeostasis. FRDA model hearts have increased mitochondrial protein acetylation and impaired sirtuin 3 …

Regulation of Protein Degradation In The Heart By Amp-Activated Protein Kinase
… is essential for cellular homeostasis in the heart. An important regulator of metabolic homeostasis is AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). During nutrient deprivation, AMPK is activated and intracellular proteolysis is enhanced through the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS). Whether AMPK plays …

CARDIAC ENERGY METABOLISM IN ISCHAEMIA AND TYPE 1 DIABETES
Ischaemic heart disease represents a restriction of blood, and therefore oxygen, supply to the myocardium. This leads to a remodelling of cardiac metabolism, which can exacerbate production of damaging reactive oxygen species and tissue necrosis upon reperfusion. In a different paradigm of …
