Abstract

Altered intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ homeostasis is presumably the primary mechanism of the diastolic impairment in diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, causal relations of numerous environmental changes observed in the diabetic heart have been left unresolved. In the present study, we sought to establish an in vitro model of diabetic cardiomyopathy using H9c2 cardiac myocyte cell line.(omitted)
