Fats have important regulatory roles that help the heart to conserve energy when blood supply to the heart muscle is reduced, such as in a heart attack. Researchers from the University of Oxford think that the increased levels of fats seen in the hearts of people with type 2 diabetes might make their cells resistant to these important effects. They found that the hearts of rats with type 2 diabetes use up their energy supplies more quickly than those without the condition during a heart attack. This leaves their hearts with less energy – a strong predictor of worse outcomes after heart attack.
