Figure 2From: 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 genderEffect of diabetes on basal levels of amino acids in left and right ventricles of coronary artery disease patients. The concentration of taurine and principal free amino acids (glutamate, glutamine, alanine, aspartate and asparagine) in biopsies collected from both left (LV) and right (RV) ventricles of diabetic (n = 13) and non-diabetic (n = 23) coronary artery disease 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.Back to article page
