The effect of thyroxine treatment on myocardial lactate oxidation was examined by use of an isolated, working rat heart preparation. Thyroxine treatment, both acute and chronic, was associated with a decrease in lactate oxidation, when the heart was perfused with a physiological blend of substrates (free fatty acids, lactate, and glucose). This decrease in lactate oxidation was not caused by a generalized impairment in mitochondrial oxidation of acetyl coenzyme A (CoA), as oxygen consumption was normal and fatty acid oxidation was elevated in the treated animals. The block in lactate oxidation was localized to the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA, as indicated by the depressed oxidation of pyruvate and lactate. Thyroxine treatment was associated with a decrease in pyruvate dehydrogenase activity. The decrease in pyruvate dehydrogenase activity was reversible and was attributed to the enhanced myocardial oxidation of free fatty acids.
