LuHui Derivative, A Novel Compound That Inhibits the Fat Mass and Obesity-Associated (FTO), Alleviates the Inflammatory Response and Injury in Hyperlipidemia-Induced Cardiomyopathy

Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for metabolic disorders and cardiovascular injury. The excessive deposition of saturated fatty acids in the heart leads to chronic cardiac inflammation, which in turn causes myocardial damage and systolic dysfunction. However, the effective suppression of cardia...

description Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for metabolic disorders and cardiovascular injury. The excessive deposition of saturated fatty acids in the heart leads to chronic cardiac inflammation, which in turn causes myocardial damage and systolic dysfunction. However, the effective suppression of cardiac inflammation has emerged as a new strategy to reduce the impact of hyperlipidemia on cardiovascular disease.

In addition, LHD treatment improved cardiac function, reduced hyperlipidemia-induced inflammatory infiltration in cardiomyocytes and suppressed the release of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). From a mechanistic perspective, cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36), an important cell surface receptor, was identified as a downstream target following the LHD treatment of palmitic acid-induced inflammation in cardiomyocytes.
