From: Cardiac taurine and principal amino acids in right and left ventricles of patients with either aortic valve stenosis or coronary artery disease: the importance of diabetes and gender

Figure 1

Effect of anatomy and pathology on basal levels of cardiac amino acids. The myocardial concentration of taurine and free principal α-amino acids (glutamate, glutamine, alanine, aspartate and asparagine) in biopsies collected from both left (LV) and right (RV) ventricles of hearts of aortic valve stenosis (n = 22) and coronary artery disease (n = 36) patients. Panel (A) shows data for taurine, glutamine and glutamate while panel (B) shows data for alanine, aspartate and asparagine. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. * = p < 0.05 vs. corresponding left ventricle.
