Mitochondria-targeted esculetin mitigates age-associated cardiac remodeling through coordinated activation of AMPK-SIRT1 and inhibition of p38 MAPK signaling.
Age-associated cardiac remodeling, characterized by hypertrophy and fibrosis, is a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity in the elderly and is often exacerbated by metabolic stressors such as hypercholesterolemia. Given the central role of mitochondrial dysfunction in these processes, we investigated whether mi...
