Does short-term caloric restriction alter myocardial triglycerides and left ventricular diastolic function in healthy subjects?
Short-term caloric restriction in healthy subjects induces physiological accumulation of myocardial triglycerides and decreases left ventricular diastolic function.
Short-term VLCD induces accumulation of myocardial triglycerides. In addition, VLCD decreases left ventricular diastolic function, without alterations in myocardial HEP metabolism. This study documents diet-dependent physiological variations in myocardial triglyceride content and diastolic function in healthy subjects.
