This study aims to investigate the preventive actions of new lipid mediators on myocardial hypertrophy and heart failure. We could recently show that palmitoleic acid (C16:1n7) promotes the development of physiological cardiac remodeling (Foryst-Ludwig A, J Biol Chem 2015). In continuation of this, we are now focusing on new ?-3 fatty acids. We will test the anti-hypertrophic/ anti-fibrotic potential of anti-inflammatory lipid mediators such as resolvins, protectins und maresins in different disease models such as TAC or isoprenalin injection.
