UCP3 Ablation Exacerbates High-Salt Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy and Cardiac Dysfunction
Background/Aims: Excessive salt intake and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are both critical for the development of hypertension and heart failure. The uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) plays a cardio-protective role in early heart failure development. However, the potential role for UCP3 in salt intak...
