Metabolic adaptations in the diabetic heart are proposed
as an important contributor to the development of heart
failure in diabetes patients. Using
in
vivo
MRI,
1
H-MRS,
31
P-MRS,
and PET, we investigated cardiac metabolic, energetic,
and functional adaptations in non-diabetic and diabetic
mice at baseline, and 1, 5, and 12 weeks after
transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-induced pressure
overload. While TAC resulted in progressive cardiac
hypertrophy and dysfunction in non-diabetic mice, the
effect of TAC on cardiac function in diabetic mice was
much less prominent, which was associated with a blunted
increase in cardiac glucose uptake and maintained
cardiac energetics.
