Role of circadian transcription factor REV-ERB in cardiovascular diseases: a review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

These disruptions often lead to circadian rhythm disorders, which are now being increasingly linked to heart diseases. This review explored the potential role of REV-ERB in the cardiovascular system. Mechanistically, REV-ERB could regulate glucose and lipid metabolism, inflammation, autophagy, ferroptosis, and mitochondrial function.

Exercise Alleviates Cardiovascular Diseases by Improving Mitochondrial Homeostasis

Journal of the American Heart Association

Engaging in regular exercise and physical activity contributes to delaying the onset of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the physiological mechanisms underlying the benefits of regular exercise or physical activity in CVDs remain unclear. Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print.
