Suggests metabolic basis for diabetic cardiomyopathy; leaves open whether restoring glucose oxidation improves outcomes in patients.
Experimentally induced diabetes profoundly inhibits glucose oxidation and depresses cardiac function in isolated rat hearts, consistent with decreased glucose transport and pyruvate dehydrogenase activity.
Chatham et al. (1993) studied Diabetes-induced cardiomyopathy. Streptozotocin-induced diabetes vs. Untreated control rats was evaluated on Glucose metabolism and contractile function. Experimentally induced diabetes with streptozotocin profoundly inhibited glucose oxidation and depressed cardiac function in isolated perfused rat hearts.
