AGT and familial dilated cardiomyopathy: Interestingly, the rise in NEFA oxidation in DCM-AGT patients was determined by a rise in both NEFA net balance (from 54 ± 32 to 75 ± 29 nmol/min/g, p < 0.05) and fractional oxidation (from 72 ± 8 to 93 ± 9, p < 0.05) as estimated from oleate conversion into 3H2O. Neither glycerol nor alanine nor pyruvate nor triglycerides net balances were significantly different from Rest during Pacing or Recovery (Table 2).
