Abstract excerpt
Studies of cardiac fuel metabolism in mice have been almost exclusively conducted ex vivo. The major aim of this study was to assess in vivo plasma FFA and glucose utilization by the hearts of healthy control (db/+) and diabetic (db/db) mice, based on cardiac uptake of (R)-2-[9,10-(3)H]bromopalmitate ([3H]R-BrP) and 2-deoxy-D-[U-14C]glucose tracers. To obtain quantitative information about the evaluation of...
