Why the study?
Does daily injection of L-propionylcarnitine improve cardiac sarcolemmal Na(+)-H+ exchange in rats with chronic experimental diabetes?
Does daily injection of L-propionylcarnitine improve cardiac sarcolemmal Na(+)-H+ exchange in rats with chronic experimental diabetes?
Chronic experimental diabetes in rats causes a significant depression in cardiac sarcolemmal Na(+)-H+ exchange that is not reversed by L-propionylcarnitine, unlike other ion transport mechanisms.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Diabetes-induced Na(+)-H+ exchange depression in rat hearts persists despite L-propionylcarnitine; leaves open its role in human diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Pierce et al. (1990) studied this question.
