Why the study?
Does perfusion with octanoate compared to palmitate improve the relationship between intracellular energy parameters and myocardial O2 consumption in volume-overloaded rat hearts?
Does perfusion with octanoate compared to palmitate improve the relationship between intracellular energy parameters and myocardial O2 consumption in volume-overloaded rat hearts?
Using an appropriate lipid substrate like octanoate can protect the free-energy change of ATP synthesis and prevent contractile failure in volume-overloaded hearts.

Octanoate may preserve energetics in volume overload; leaves open clinical translation from this rat model.
Cheikh et al. (1994) studied this question.
