a significant transmural gradient was observed in left ventricular glucose uptake both in the control and the calcium paradox hearts : subendocardial and subepicardial glucose uptake rates were 5.70 +/- 0.65 mumol/min/g protein ( mean +/- s.e.m . ) and 4.29 +/- 0.35 mumol/min/g protein ( p less than 0.05 ) in the control hearts , and 8.64 +/- 0.79 mumol/min/g protein and 4.09 +/- 0.71 mumol/min/g protein ( p less than 0.01 ) in the paradox hearts .
