The importance of PPAR-α signalling for regulation of cardiomyocyte metabolism is highlighted by the research articles of E. Czarnowska with coauthors, who studied the correlation of PPAR-α activity and cardiomyocyte function during heart failure, and J. Yang with coauthors, who demonstrated that PPAR-α upregulation mediated the effect of testosterone replacement on cardiac metabolic remodelling after myocardial infarction. Here, PPARA is linked to heart failure.
