Abstract
► The acutely diabetic myocardium is resistant to ischemic injury because of the existence of 'metabolic preconditioning'. ► The preconditioning effects, however, are blunted in the chronically diabetic myocardium. ► The extent of myocardial reperfusion injury is increased in the chronically diabetic myocardium. ► We discussed the discrepancies on the modulatory role of diabetes mellitus in I/R-induced myocardial injury. ► We addressed mechanistically the attenuated cardioprotective effects of preconditioning in the diabetic heart.
