Additionally, inhibition of Nr4a1 by siRNA reversed the PA-induced altered expression of glucose metabolism-related DEGs and hexokinase 2 (HK2), the rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis, thus indicating that Nr4a1 could modulate glucose metabolism homeostasis by regulating the expression of key enzymes in glycolysis, which may subsequently influence cardiac function in obesity. The gene discussed is HK2; the disease is obesity disorder.
