NPPA and cardiac hypertrophy: Our data revealed significant differences of gene expression between AGAT−/− and wild-type (WT) mice, affecting cardiac energy metabolism (Fbp2, Ucp2), cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis (Nppa, Ctgf), immune response (Fgl2), and the conduction system of the heart (Dsc2, Ehd4, Hcn2, Hcn4, Scn4a, Scn4b).
