Popis: | Increased uptake and oxidation of fatty acids (FA) in diabetic hearts may contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction by promoting oxidative stress. To test this hypothesis, we investigated mice with cardiomyocyte-restricted overexpression of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 1 (MHC-ACS). In vivo PET studies revealed increased myocardial FA uptake (+120%; p |
