A: increased circulating levels of ketone bodies (KB) and increased uptake of KB in the heart do not increase cardiac efficiency in diabetes mellitus (DM). B: energy deprivation is possibly due to increased cardiac ketogenesis that inhibits ketolysis in the DM heart. In DM, ketogenic diet causes diabetic ketoacidosis and may not improve cardiac energy efficiency. Image created with BioRender and published with permission.
