Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial mutations impair glucose oxidation and increase glucose uptake in cell cultures and lead to cardiomyopathy in patients. Here we characterize cardiac glucose uptake in 14 patients with the m.3243A > G mutation in mitochondrial DNA. The 14 patients with m.3243A > G and 13 controls were similar in age, physical activity and body mass index. Ten patients had diabetes. Left ventricular glucose uptake per...
