Endurance exercise resistance to lipotoxic cardiomyopathy is associated with cardiac NAD+/dSIR2/PGC-1α pathway activation in old Drosophila

Lipotoxic cardiomyopathy is caused by excessive lipid accumulation in myocardial cells and it is a form of cardiac dysfunction. Cardiac PGC-1α overexpression prevents lipotoxic cardiomyopathy induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). The level of NAD+ and Sir2 expression upregulate the transcriptional activ...
