Reduced myocardial ATP and creatine phosphate in diabetes: role of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate.
Observations are presented which suggest that myocardial cellular hypoxia may account for the reduction in myocardial ATP and CP in the ketoacidotic diabetic state. It is suggested that reduced 2,3-diphosphoglycerate adversely affects oxygen release from the red blood cell, thereby leading to myocardial cellular hypoxia.
