Abstract Wed007: Postnatal loss of the nuclear receptor PPARα in cardiomyocytes promotes glycolytic remodeling and cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation via Fbp2 downregulation

Conference Circulation Research · August 2025 Cardiomyocytes (CMs) undergo metabolic and contractile reprogramming during cardiac stress and injury. This reprogramming response includes a fuel metabolic shift to a more fetal-like or immature state with downregulation in fatty acid ... Full text Cite

Skeletal muscle mitochondrial inertia is associated with carnitine acetyltransferase activity and physical function in humans.

Conference JCI Insight · January 10, 2023 BACKGROUNDAt the onset of exercise, the speed at which phosphocreatine (PCr) decreases toward a new steady state (PCr on-kinetics) reflects the readiness to activate mitochondrial ATP synthesis, which is secondary to Acetyl-CoA availability in skeletal mus ...
