AKT1 and hydrops fetalis: IPA, through the inhibition of nicotinamide N-methyl transferase expression and increased nicotinamide, NAD+/NADH, and SIRT3 levels, can ameliorate non-ischemic HF; meanwhile, H2S by suppressing Nox4 expression and mitochondrial ROS production by stimulating the PI3K/AKT pathway can also protect against non-ischemic HF.
