The heart relies on fatty acid oxidation and glucose (pyruvate) oxidation for ATP-mediated contractility; the former meets most of the energy requirement, but the latter is more efficient.

- A survey of mouse microbiological contamination was conducted over 6 years, involving 21,292 mice from 206 different facilities in Korea.
- The most commonly detected contaminants were nonpathogenic protozoa (47.2%), with key pathogenic bacteria identified as Staphylococcus aureus, Pasteurella pneumotropica, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
- The findings indicate that current contamination levels in mouse facilities primarily involve opportunistic pathogens, and there's a decrease in contamination by more significant pathogens categorized as B or C.
