Myocardial free fatty acid data for pigs receiving systemic pyruvate infusion

Hour 2 Hour 7
(a-cs) FFA, mmol/l 0.03 ± 0.03 0.23 ± 0.09
CSF, ml/min 24.0 ± 2.2 25.8 ± 3.17
FFA uptake, μM/min 0.91 ± 0.98 6.02 ± 2.61*
MVO2, μM·min−1·g−1 2.64 ± 0.03 2.58 ± 0.36

Values are means ± SE; n = 5. Hour 2 reflects duration of ECMO, just before initiation of pyruvate infusion. CSF, coronary sinus flow; (a-cs), arterio-coronary sinus substrate difference; FFA, free fatty acids; MVO2, myocardial oxygen consumption rate.
