Study by L. Bultot: Diabetes is a growing epidemic affecting a large part of the population and is a significant public health challenge. In addition to vascular defects, diabetic patients develop a particular form of heart disease called diabetic cardiomyopathy. Our laboratory has demonstrated that protein acetylation is crucial in the early stage of the disease. Our project aimed to deeply comprehend the molecular mechanisms linking protein acetylation and the onset of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
