Abstract
Myocardial nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) increase markedly within the first two days after the induction of insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus in rats by intravenous injection of alloxan. After initial variability, NEFA levels in diabetic hearets remain constant at approximately 450 nmol/g tissue (16 nmol/gmmol lipid P), which is about three times higher than that in control hearts. Nonesterified linoleic acid is significantly increased in diabetic heart whereas both arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids are decreased compared to controls.Keywords
