Abstract
Cardiac uptakes of carbohydrate (glucose, lactate and pyruvate) were decreased, whereas those of total ketone bodies and β-hydroxybutyrate were increased in the diabetics as compared to the non-diabetics in humans. Ketone bodies therefore are utilized as an energy source partially replacing glucose in the human diabetic heart.
