Hypertrophied rat hearts are less responsive to the metabolic and functional effects of insulin
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We determined the effect of insulin on the fate of glucose and contractile function in isolated working hypertrophied hearts from rats with an aortic constriction (n = 27) and control hearts from sham-operated rats (n = 27). Insulin increased glycolysis and glycogen in control and hypertrophied hearts. The change in glycogen was brought about by increased glycogen synthesis and decreased glycogenolysis in both groups. However, the magnitude of change in glycolysis, glycogen synthesis, and glycogenolysis caused by insulin was lower in hypertrophied hearts than in control hearts. Insulin also increased glucose oxidation and contractile function in control hearts but not in hypertrophied hearts. Protein content of glucose transporters, protein kinase B, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase was not different between the two groups. Thus hypertrophied hearts are less responsive to the metabolic and functional effects of insulin. The reduced responsiveness involves multiple aspects of glucose metabolism, including glycolysis, glucose oxidation, and glycogen metabolism. The absence of changes in content of key regulatory molecules indicates that other sites, pathways, or factors regulating glucose utilization are responsible for these findings.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
