Assessing fatty acid oxidation flux in rodent cardiomyocyte models
Abstract The healthy adult heart primarily relies on fatty acid oxidation (FAO) for energy production but instantaneously adapts its substrate preference in response to physiological or pathological challenges. Accurate FAO measurements are crucial to investigate early metabolic (mal)adaptations. Wh...
