Caption

Effect of anthracycline treatment on cardiac metabolism. The image on the left shows the heart of an untreated mouse. The red zone, with its green halo, indicates uptake of fatty acids and glucose as energy sources (normal cardiac metabolism). The image on the right shows the heart of the same mouse after several doses of anthracyclines. The muted blue signal indicates strongly reduced uptake of these substrates.
