Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the impact of cadmium exposure on heart metabolism and lipid storage in male Wistar rats, focusing on glucose and fatty acid metabolism.
- - Results show cadmium significantly decreases insulin levels, affects specific enzyme activities (like pyruvate dehydrogenase), and increases fatty acid, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in the heart, indicating metabolic disturbance.
- - The findings suggest that cadmium interferes with how the heart processes glucose and fats, which may lead to decreased efficiency of the heart function in diabetic cardiomyopathy.
