During diabetes, impaired cardiac glucose transport and utilization switches energy production to exclusive R-oxidation of fatty acid (FA). We examined the contribution of cardiac lipoprotein lipase (LPL) towards providing FA to the diabetic heart. Four days of streptozotocin (STZ) or four hours of...
