Alternate-day fasting curbs liver fibrosis in mice

In mouse models, alternate-day fasting stimulated hepatocyte nitric oxide production to suppress stellate cell activation, an effect abolished by hepatocyte eNOS…In mouse models, alternate-day fasting stimulated hepatocyte nitric oxide production to suppress stellate cell activation, an effect abolished by hepatocyte eNOS deletion.

Mitochondrial proteostasis is impaired in mouse heart failure

Aged mice on a high-fat diet and L-NAME showed impaired mitochondrial proteostasis rather than defective biogenesis, suggesting quality control may contribute to reduced…Aged mice on a high-fat diet and L-NAME showed impaired mitochondrial proteostasis rather than defective biogenesis, suggesting quality control may contribute to reduced cardiac reserve.
