Core Tip
Core Tip: Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) exists in daily diet and is harmful to health. We established in vitro and in vivo models to investigate the effects of dietary CML (dCML) on the heart. We found that long-term dCML induced insulin resistance and elevated serum CML level. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose imaging indicated that dCML promoted myocardial glucose uptake, but the glucose metabolism was disrupted. Myocardial fibrosis, apoptosis, and hypertrophy were significantly enhanced by dCML. In the cell model, CML supplementation promoted cardiomyocyte apoptosis, cellular hypertrophy, and collagen I expression, and also inhibited pathways involved in glucose metabolism.
