UCP3 (Uncoupling Protein 3) Insufficiency Exacerbates Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction During Angiotensin II‐Induced Hypertension
Background Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, an early stage in the pathogenesis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, is exacerbated by joint exposure to hypertension and obesity; however, the molecular mechanisms involved remain uncertain. The mitochondrial UCP3 (uncoupling prote...
