In vivo alterations in right and left ventricular glucose metabolism and function. Relative change in systolic function of RV (tricuspid annulus systolic plane excursion; TAPSE) (A) and LV (fractional shortening) (B) and metabolic rate of glucose utilisation (MRglu) measured under hyperinsulinaemic euglycemic clamp conditions for RV (C) and LV (D) of ZL rats (white bars) and ZDF rats (black bars). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 4-9, * p < 0.05 vs. ZL rats. Relationship of RV systolic function (TAPSE) with LV systolic function (fractional shortening) (E; r = 0.86, p < 0.05, n = 11) and RV MRglu with LV MRglu (F; r = 0.74, p <0.05, n = 10).
