Wang-lab's research centre is myocardial lipid metabolism and cardiomyopathy. We use guinea pigs, mice and other animal models to build models for cardiomyopathies. Using these animal models, we study the mechanism of myocardial metabolic alteration in a variety of cardiomyopathic conditions.
Cardiac lipid metabolism and cardiomyopathy
With the acceleration of the aging process in China and worldwide, the health of older people is increasingly at the centre of social attention. The improvement of the health and quality of life of older people is an important scientific research proposal.
Cardiac health problems have a major impact on the quality of life of the elderly. Along with the imbalance in metabolic homeostasis in the elderly, the metabolic substrate used by the myocardium for energy supply also changes, leading t...
