The role of calcium-independent phospholipase A2 in cardiolipin remodeling in the spontaneously hypertensive heart failure rat heart

Cardiolipin (CL) is an essential phospholipid component of the inner mitochondrial membrane. In the mammalian heart, the functional form of CL is tetralinoleoyl CL [(18:2)4CL]. A decrease in (18:2)4CL content, which is believed to negatively impact mitochondrial energetics, occurs in heart failure (...
