The afterload-dependent peak efficiency of the isolated working rat heart is unaffected by streptozotocin-induced diabetes
BACKGROUND: Diabetes is known to alter the energy metabolism of the heart. Thus, it may be expected to affect the efficiency of contraction (i.e., the ratio of mechanical work output to metabolic energy input). The literature on the subject is conflicting. The majority of studies have reported a red...
