Aim of thesis:
The overall aim of this thesis was to increase our knowledge related to the underlying mechanisms ofdiabetes-induced cardiomyopathy. The primary objectiveof the first two papers wasto elucidate the role of the reactive oxygen species (ROS)producing enzyme, NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2), in the development of cardiac dysfunction in obesity/diabetes. We also wanted to examine the potential link between activators of NOX2, such as Angiotensin II (AngII)and fatty acids, in mediating cellular stress, myocardial oxygenwasting and impaired energetics in the heart.
