Abstract excerpt
Myocardial remodeling and dysfunction are serious complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Factors controlling their development are not well established. To specifically address the role of the mitochondrial genome, we developed novel conplastic rat strains, i.e. strains with the same nuclear genome but a different mitochondrial genome. The new animals were named T2DN(mtFHH) and T2DN(mtWistar), where...
