Inhibition of β-catenin signaling protects against CTGF-induced alveolar and vascular pathology in neonatal mouse lung.

abstract：:The metabolic demands of the newborn heart are met primarily by glucose and lactate. Mitochondria are impermeable to the NADH produced by these cytosolic reactions. The malate/aspartate and alpha-glycerophosphate (alpha-GP) shuttles provide two pathways to transport reducing equivalents into mitochondria. The goals of...
