Cardiomyocyte pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 knockout activates Rho-mediated remodeling and decreases fatty acyl availability in female mice

Michael G. Atser, Sareh Panahi, Justin J. Hong, Xiaoke Hu, Aura Balita, Haoning Howard Cen, Sing-Young Chen, Vincent R. Richard, Timon Geib, Armando Alcázar Magaña, Brian B. Rodrigues, Leonard J. Foster, Elizabeth J. Rideout, Christoph H. Borchers, James D. Johnson

This study shows that PDK1 knockout in female mice leads to cardiac metabolic remodeling and reduced fatty acyl availability, while male mice show no such effects.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 controls triacylglycerol hydrolysis in cardiomyocytes

Michael G. Atser, Chelsea D. Wenyonu, Elyn M. Rowe, Connie L. K. Leung, Haoning Howard Cen, Eric D. Queathem, Leo T. Liu, Renata Moravcova, Jason C. Rogalski, David Perrin, Peter A. Crawford, Leonard J. Foster, Armando Alcázar Magaña, James D. Johnson

This study shows that PDK1 regulates triacylglycerol turnover in cardiomyocytes under nutrient deprivation, independent of its role in glucose metabolism.
