In the normal adult heart, plasticity of ATP production is provided by coordinated changes in the expression of genes involved in cellular fatty acid (FA) utilization and glucose oxidation. The phenotypes of acquired forms of heart failure in human and animal models are associated with energy substrate changes accompanying a reduced mitochondrial FA oxidative capacity and a shift to glucose metabolism, resembling the fetal metabolic program [1]. High glucose conditions, initially serving as a protective response to support contractile function, stimulate the production of angiotensin II (Ang II), a
