Our molecular analysis showed increased levels of Cxadr, Il6st, Pdgfra, and Slc2a1 in the LV of both Wt and Hif1a+/- diabetic hearts which corresponds to the onset of pathological processes associated with cardiac remodeling in diabetic cardiomyopathy. The gene discussed is SLC2A1; the disease is diabetic cardiomyopathy.
