Inhibition of prolyl hydroxylases alters cell metabolism and reverses pre-existing diastolic dysfunction in mice

Our findings demonstrate that inhibition of PHD and reprogrammed cell metabolism can reverse the pre-existed diastolic dysfunction in SIRT3 deficient mice. Our study provides a potential therapeutic strategy of induction of hypoxia tolerance for patients with diastolic dysfunction associated with coronary microvascular dysfunction, especially in the aging population with reduced SIRT3.
