Western diet changes cardiac acyl-CoA composition in obese rats: a potential role for hepatic lipogenesis[S]

The “lipotoxic footprint” of cardiac maladaptation in diet-induced obesity is poorly defined. We investigated how manipulation of dietary lipid and carbohydrate influenced potential lipotoxic species in the failing heart. In Wistar rats, contractile dysfunction develops at 48 weeks on a high-fat/hig...
