Sympathetic denervation of the canine heart, which is extensive enough to insure depletion of myocardial catecholamines, results in an increased accumulation of myocardial fat and carbohydrate substances. Myocardial histamine, ubiquinone and nitrogen contents are unaffected. These observations provide additional evidence for the participation of the autonomic nervous system in the regulation of cardiac metabolism.

Key Words: autonomic nervous system and cardiac metabolism • myocardial metabolism • myocardial fat and carbohydrate cardiac denervation • cardiac catecholamine depletion
