Abstract
Important metabolic changes take place in the myocardium during conditions of recuded oxygen supply. The oxidation of free fatty acids (FFA) is impaired, and a greater percentage of FFA is converted into tissue lipids, while myocardial glucose consumption is enhanced due to a faster rate of anaerobic glycolysis (Neely and Morgan, 1974; Rovetto et al., 1972, 1975).
