Differential influence of fasting and BM13.907 treatment on growth and phenotype of pressure overloaded rat heart.

Abstract excerpt

To examine metabolic influences on markers of the fetal phenotype of pressure overloaded rat heart, rats with stenosis of the abdominal aorta were intermittently fasted for 10-12 weeks. Although intermittent fasting, which reduces insulin mediated glucose uptake in the heart and moderate pressure overload of the left ventricle increased the proportion of myosin beta-heavy chains (beta-MHC) and reduced the...
