Characteristics of Myocardial Structure and Central Carbon Metabolism during the Early and Compensatory Stages of Cardiac Hypertrophy

-aconitate and so on, decreased significantly on day 1 after TAC. Ten metabolites, including l-lactate, (S)-2-hydroxyglutarate and so on, were obviously changed on days 10 and 14. Pathway analysis showed that these metabolites were involved in seven metabolic pathways, including carbohydrates, amino acids and so on. Western blot showed the expression of ATP-citrate lyase, malate dehydrogenase 1 and lactate dehydrogenase A in myocardium changed markedly on day 3, while the phosphorylation level of AMP-activated protein kinase did not show significantly difference. We hope our research will promote deeper understanding and early diagnosis of cardiac hypertrophy in clinical practice. All raw data were deposited in MetaboLights (MTBLS10555).
