mRNA concentrations of of genes controlling fatty acids uptake (FAT, FATP, VLDLr, LPL) and activation (ACS1) in left ventricles of control and ZDF rats. ZDF rats were untreated (ZDF) or received fenofibrate (ZDF+F) or metformin (ZDF+M).* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 vs the corresponding control group, $ p < 0.05, $$ p < 0.01 vs the corresponding untreated group. For the sake of clarity, differences within the control group and the ZDF group between values at 7, 14 and 21 weeks are not indicated
