High energy production in mitochondria is essential for maintaining cardiac contraction in the heart. Genes regulating mitochondrial function are commonly downregulated during heart failure. Here we show that both PPARα and Sirt1 are upregulated by pressure overload in the heart. Haploinsufficiency of either PPARα or Sirt1 attenuated pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy and failure, whereas simultaneous upregulation of PPARα and Sirt1 exacerbated the cardiac dysfunction. PPARα and Sirt1 ...[more]
