Biopsy specimens from the myocardium were examined in a series of 145 patients who had
elected coronary arterial bypass grafting. The patients were divided into three groups; 1)
overtly diabetic (OD) patients; 2) chemically diabetic (CD) patients, who demonstrated
impaired glucose tolerance only when stressed with a sugar load; and 3) normoglycemic,
nondiabetic (ND) patients, who served as a control group. Tissue plugs from the left anterior
apical segment of the heart and from the quadriceps femoris in 71 patients, for comparative …
