In an intriguing new study, Loffredo et al report that joining the circulation of old mice with that of young mice reduces age-related cardiac hypertrophy. They also found that the growth factor growth/differentiation factor 11 is a circulating negative regulator of cardiac hypertrophy which suggests that raising growth/differentiation factor 11 levels may be useful to treat cardiac hypertrophy associated with aging.
在一项有趣的新研究中,Loffredo 等人报告说,将老年小鼠的循环系统与年轻小鼠的循环系统结合起来,可减少与年龄相关的心脏肥大。他们还发现,生长因子生长/分化因子 11 是心脏肥大的一种循环负调节剂,这表明提高生长/分化因子 11 的水平可能有助于治疗与衰老相关的心脏肥大。
