therapeutic agents activating PPARGC1A, PPARGC1B would be valuable for treating neurodegenerative diseases in which mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative damage play an important pathogenic role
ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Pgc-1beta deficient mice exhibited greater degrees of oxidative stress, decreased cardiac efficiency, lower rates of glucose metabolism, and repression of hexokinase II protein, when subjected to transverse aortic constriction
