Mitochondrial functional aberrations in a mouse model of non-ischemic heart failure

ABSTRACT: We characterized the metabolic and cardiac mitochondrial function in a mouse model of non-ischemic HF. Inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis and hypertension, which often present together, are two important risk factors in human non-ischemic HF. Compared with L-NAME L-NG-Nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME), an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis or Angiotensin II (AngII), a hypertensive agent treatment alone, L-NAME+AngII induced the most severe HF phenotype characterized by edema, hypertrophy, fibrosis, increased blood pressure and reduced ejection fractions. L-NAME+AngII treated mice had robust deterioration of cardiac mitochondrial function we observed. Microarray analyses revealed majority of the gene changes attributed to the combination of L-NAME+AngII. Pathway analyses indicated sign
