| Abstract: | Although diabetic cardiomyopathy is associated with heart dysfunction and disturbance in cardiac sarcolemmal membrane phospholipid composition, the role of the different phospholipases and their related signaling mechanisms to altered function of the heart in diabetes is not completely understood. Thus, understanding the pathophysiology of cardiovascular abnormalities in diabetes, as well as identifying defects in various components of the phospholipid signaling pathways, that could serve as therapeutic targets, is warranted. Accordingly, this review provides an outline of the role of and the mechanisms for the defects in phospholipase A2, C and D-mediated signal transduction in the diabetic heart. In addition, the potential of different phospholipases as targets for drug development for the prevention/treatment of heart disease in diabetes is discussed. |
