Evaluation of the Altered Pathophysiological Mechanism of the Human Arg302Gln-PRKAG2 Mutation-Induced Metabolic Cardiomyopathy: Studying the Glucose Metabolism Pathway in a Transgenic Mouse Model

Characterized by excessive myocardial glycogen deposition, cardiac hypertrophy, frequent cardiac arrhythmias and progressive conduction system disease, the PRKAG2 cardiac syndrome stems from a genetic mutation in the γ2-subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Although functionally diverse,...
