Abstract:
Dysregulation of mitochondrial homeostasis is common to all types of cardiovascular diseases. SIRT3 regulates apoptosis and autophagy, material and energy metabolism, mitochondrial oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis. As an important mediator and node in the network of mechanisms, SIRT3 is essential to many activities. This review explains how SIRT3 regulates mitochondrial homeostasis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle to treat common cardiovascular diseases. A novel description of the impact of lifestyle factors on SIRT3 expression from the angles of nutrition, exercise, and temperature is provided.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
