Measurement of in vivo myocardial oxidative metabolism based on the C-11 clearance rate under a high cardiac work state induced by catecholamine stimulation (n = 3 each for infarcted porcine without cell therapy, infarcted porcine receiving induced pluripotent SC-derived cardiomycocytes (iPS-CM) sheets, infarcted porcine receiving skeletal myoblast (SM) sheets, and infarcted porcine receiving mesnchymal stem cell sheets). A, Acetate clearance rate (k-mono) as a measure of global cardiac oxygen consumption. B, CE increased by up to 21% in the hearts transplanted with the iPS-CM sheets (#P < 0.05 vs baseline; *P < 0.05 vs other groups).
