Abnormal function and glucose metabolism in the type-2 diabetic db/db mouse heart.
This study examined cardiac function and glucose metabolism in the 6-month-old db/db mouse, a model of type-2 diabetes. Cine magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRI) was used to measure cardiac function in vivo. The db/db mice had decreased heart rates (17%, p<0.01) and stroke volumes (21%, p&am...
