In the metabolism of acetate several enzymes are
involved, which play an important role for free fatty
acid oxidation. Therefore it might serve as a marker for
pathological changes of cells' fuel selection in
particular in the myocardium. The goal of this study was
to investigate whether the ratio of acetylcarnitine to
acetate could serve as a marker for myocardial, hepatic
and renal metabolic changes under Streptozotocin induced
diabetes in vivo.
