What did studies of AAV-shrna find?

4

Studies of AAV-shrna measured 4 outcomes; the most studied are AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling (1 study), P38 MAPK phosphorylation (1) and adiposity (1).

AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling

Adiposity

downin mice1

1 study
  1. AAV-shrna decreases adiposity in mice (high-fat diet-fed aged mice with sarcopenic obesity).

    “TWEAK inhibition effectively reverses the SO phenotype, characterized by improved grip strength, reduced adiposity, and lowered systemic inflammation and lipid levels.”
