In vivo, the normal heart obtains at least 60% of its energy from lipids and the remainder from glucose. Several lines of evidence indicate that an increase in the utilization of glucose [at the expense of fatty acids (FA)] may play a role in the genesis of hypertrophy. Primary cultures of neonatal...
