cardiovascular system
• lipid deposition in the heart
|
• 20 week old mice exhibit enlarged hearts
|
• myocardial hypertrophy as evidenced by increased ratio of heart weight to tibia length and gene expression analysis
|
• weight of hearts is increased by 15%
|
• enlarged left ventricular inner diameter with reduced posterior wall thickness
|
• the interventricular inner diameter is increased by 22%
|
• myocardial fibrosis
|
• mice show suppressed ejection fraction and fractional shortening
|
• oxygen consumption rate of cardiomyocytes is elevated, indicating that the heart consumes more free fatty acids
|
• diabetic cardiomyopathy
|
