Biphasic regulation of myogenesis by ALDH2, aldosterone, and oxidative stress
{{output}}
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a mitochondrial enzyme that metabolizes 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), a lipoperoxidation-derived aldehyde that promotes oxidative stress. ALDH2 is therefore considered part of the antioxidant defense. On the other hand, the horm... ...
