Palmitate oxidation test of cardiomyocytes at various maturational ages.

Abstract

<p>OCR was measured in NB1, 3WK, 10WK, and 12–18MNTH CMs and normalized to baseline rates to interrogate differences in response among the groups. OCR response to exogenous Palmitate-BSA and Etomoxir (carnitine palmitoyl transport inhibitor) are illustrated in trace (A). Bar graphs illustrate group differences in OCR response from baseline conditions (B). Data are expressed as means ± SEM of 3–4 independent experiments. *p<0.05 by one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-test.</p
