Exercise Enhanced Cardiac Function in Mice With Radiation-Induced Heart Disease via the FNDC5/Irisin-Dependent Mitochondrial Turnover Pathway

Background: Despite the development of radiation therapy (RT) techniques, concern regarding the serious and irreversible heart injury induced by RT has grown due to the lack of early intervention measures. Although exercise can act as an effective and economic nonpharmacologic strategy to combat fat...
