Ex Vivo Evaluation of Myocardial Beta-Adrenergic Receptors in High-Fat Fed STZ and ZDF Models of Diabetes Using [3H]-CGP12177
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hyperglycemia contribute to sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation and cardiovascular dysfunction. SNS activation and increased norepinephrine levels downregulate cardiac β-adrenergic receptors (β-AR). The ADMIRE-HF trial identified reduced cardiac SNS innervation as...
