Hearts from type 2 diabetic (db/db) mice demonstrate altered substrate utilization with high rates of fatty acid oxidation, decreased functional recovery following ischemia, and reduced cardiac efficiency. Although db/db mice show overall insulin resistance in vivo, we recently reported that insulin induces a marked shift toward glucose oxidation in isolated perfused db/db hearts. We hypothesize that such a shift in metabolism should improve cardiac efficiency and consequently increase functional recovery following low-flow ischemia. Hearts from db/db and nondiabetic (db/+) mice were perfused with 0.7 mM palmitate plus either 5 mM glucose (G), 5 mM glucose and 300 mu U/ml insulin (GI), or 33 mM glucose and 900 mu U/ml insulin (HGHI). Substrate oxidation and postischemic recovery were only moderately affected by GI and HGHI in db/+ hearts. In contrast, GI and particularly HGHI markedly increased glucose oxidation and improved postischemic functional recovery in db/db hearts. Cardiac efficiency was significantly improved in db/db, but not in db/+ hearts, in the presence of HGHI. In conclusion, insulin and glucose normalize cardiac metabolism, restore efficiency, and improve postischemic recovery in type 2 diabetic mouse hearts. These findings may in part explain the beneficial effect of glucose-insulin-potassium therapy in diabetic patients with cardiac complications.
