Independent effects of circulating glucose, insulin and NEFA on cardiac triacylglycerol accumulation and myocardial insulin resistance in a swine model

Aims/hypothesis: Cardiac steatosis and myocardial insulin resistance elevate the risk of cardiac complications in obesity and diabetes. We aimed to disentangle the effects of circulating glucose, insulin and NEFA on myocardial triacylglycerol (TG) content and myocardial glucose uptake. Methods: Twen...
