Effects of Acute and One-Week Fatty Acid Lowering on Cardiac Function and Insulin Sensitivity in Relation with Myocardial and Muscle Fat and Adiponectin Levels

Background/Aim: We tested the hypothesis that a persistent reduction in free fatty acid (FFA) levels improves cardiac function and systemic insulin sensitivity via a reduction in the myocardial and skeletal muscle adiposities and a modulation in adipokine release.
