Using in silico analysis based on the GEO database we found that most of these candidate genes (Ctgf, Dsc2, Fbp2, Fgl2, Hcn2, Nppa)  revealed significant alterations in a WT mouse model of myocardial infarction underlining a pathophysiological relationship between AGAT metabolism and cardiovascular disease. This evidence concerns the gene NPPA and cardiovascular disorder.
