We tested the hypothesis that diabetes impairs myocardial glucose uptake and pyruvate oxidation under normal conditions and during a dobutamine-induced increase in work. We also tested the hypothesis that an increase in work would result in a decrease in the levels of malonyl CoA, a potent inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I). Streptozotocin-diabetic micropigs were compared with a nondiabetic control group (n = 8 per group). Triglyceride emulsion, glucose, and somatostatin were infused into the nondiabetic group to create an acute diabetic-like state. In accord with our hypothesis, malonyl CoA decreased significantly with dobutamine in both groups, providing a possible mechanism for increased fatty acid oxidation through relieved inhibition on CPT I. In the absence of dobutamine, glucose uptake and tracer-measured lactate uptake were decreased by 57 and 80%, respectively, in the diabetic group. Dobutamine infusion resulted in similar increases in cardiac contractility, oxygen consumption, and glucose uptake in both groups despite reductions of 50-65% in GLUT-4 and GLUT-1 protein in the diabetic group. Diabetic animals possessed a defect in myocardial pyruvate oxidation, as reflected in increased lactate production, and depressed lactate uptake and pyruvate dehydrogenase activity under control and dobutamine conditions. In conclusion, the major derangement in carbohydrate metabolism in diabetic myocardium was not in glycolysis but, rather, in pyruvate oxidation.

The rate of cardiac fatty acid oxidation is regulated by the activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I (CPT-I), which is inhibited by malonyl-CoA. We tested the hypothesis that the activity of the enzyme responsible for malonyl-CoA degradation, malonyl-CoA decarboxlyase (MCD), regulates myocardial malonyl-CoA content and the rate of fatty acid oxidation during demand-induced ischemia in vivo. The myocardial content of malonyl-CoA was increased in anesthetized pigs using a specific inhibitor of MCD (CBM-301106), which we hypothesized would result in inhibition of CPT-I, reduction in fatty acid oxidation, a reciprocal activation of glucose oxidation, and diminished lactate production during demand-induced ischemia. Under normal-flow conditions, treatment with the MCD inhibitor significantly reduced oxidation of exogenous fatty acids by 82%, shifted the relationship between arterial fatty acids and fatty acid oxidation downward, and increased glucose oxidation by 50%. Ischemia was induced by a 20% flow reduction and β-adrenergic stimulation, which resulted in myocardial lactate production. During ischemia MCD inhibition elevated malonyl-CoA content fourfold, reduced free fatty acid oxidation rate by 87%, and resulted in a 50% decrease in lactate production. Moreover, fatty acid oxidation during ischemia was inversely related to the tissue malonyl-CoA content ( r = −0.63). There were no differences between groups in myocardial ATP content, the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase, or myocardial contractile function during ischemia. Thus modulation of MCD activity is an effective means of regulating myocardial fatty acid oxidation under normal and ischemic conditions and reducing lactate production during demand-induced ischemia.

Peroxisomal oxidation yields metabolites that are more efficiently utilized by mitochondria. This is of potential clinical importance because reduced fatty acid oxidation is suspected to promote excess lipid accumulation in obesity-associated insulin resistance. Our purpose was to assess peroxisomal contributions to mitochondrial oxidation in mixed gastrocnemius (MG), liver, and left ventricle (LV) homogenates from lean and fatty ( fa/fa) Zucker rats. Results indicate that complete mitochondrial oxidation (CO2production) using various lipid substrates was increased approximately twofold in MG, unaltered in LV, and diminished ∼50% in liver of fa/fa rats. In isolated mitochondria, malonyl-CoA inhibited CO2production from palmitate 78%, whereas adding isolated peroxisomes reduced inhibition to 21%. These data demonstrate that peroxisomal products may enter mitochondria independently of CPT I, thus providing a route to maintain lipid disposal under conditions where malonyl-CoA levels are elevated, such as in insulin-resistant tissues. Peroxisomal metabolism of lignoceric acid in fa/fa rats was elevated in both liver and MG (LV unaltered), but peroxisomal product distribution varied. A threefold elevation in incomplete oxidation was solely responsible for increased hepatic peroxisomal oxidation (CO2unaltered). Alternatively, only CO2was detected in MG, indicating that peroxisomal products were exclusively partitioned to mitochondria for complete lipid disposal. These data suggest tissue-specific destinations for peroxisome-derived products and emphasize a potential role for peroxisomes in skeletal muscle lipid metabolism in the obese, insulin-resistant state.

Incubation of rat hepatocytes with extracellular ATP inhibited acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) activity and fatty acid synthesis de novo, with a concomitant decrease of intracellular malonyl-CoA concentration. However, both carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase I (CPT-I) activity and ketogenesis from palmitate were inhibited in parallel by extracellular ATP. The inhibitory effect of extracellular ATP on ACC and CPT-I activities was not evident in Ca2+ -depleted hepatocytes. Incubation of hepatocytes with thapsigargin, 2,5-di-(t-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (BHQ), or A-23187, compounds that increase cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), depressed ACC activity, whereas CPT-I activity was unaffected. The phorbol ester 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta-myristate 13 alpha-acetate (PMA) increased ACC activity, whereas it decreased CPT-I activity in a nonaddictive manner with respect to extracellular ATP. The inhibitory effect of extracellular ATP on ACC activity was also evident in the presence of bisindolyl-maleimide, a specific inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), whereas this compound abolished the extracellular ATP-mediated inhibition of CPT-I. In addition, the PMA-induced inhibition of CPT-I was not potentiated by thapsigargin, BHQ, or A-23187. Results thus show 1) that the intracellular concentration of malonyl-CoA is not the factor responsible for the inhibition of hepatic long-chain fatty acid oxidation by extracellular ATP, and 2) that the inhibition of ACC by extracellular ATP may be mediated by an elevation of [Ca2+]i, whereas CPT-I may be inhibited by extracellular ATP through a PKC-dependent mechanism.

5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAR) has previously been reported to be taken up into cells and phosphorylated to form ZMP, an analog of 5′-AMP. This study was designed to determine whether AICAR can activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in skeletal muscle with consequent phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), decrease in malonyl-CoA, and increase in fatty acid oxidation. Rat hindlimbs were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate containing 4% bovine serum albumin, washed bovine red blood cells, 200 μU/ml insulin, and 10 mM glucose with or without AICAR (0.5–2.0 mM). Perfusion with medium containing AICAR was found to activate AMPK in skeletal muscle, inactivate ACC, and decrease malonyl-CoA. Hindlimbs perfused with 2 mM AICAR for 45 min exhibited a 2.8-fold increase in fatty acid oxidation and a significant increase in glucose uptake. No difference was observed in oxygen uptake in AICAR vs. control hindlimb. These results provide evidence that decreases in muscle content of malonyl-CoA can increase the rate of fatty acid oxidation.

The relationships between the increase in blood ketone-body concentrations and several parameters that can potentially influence the rate of hepatic fatty acid oxidation were studied during progressive starvation (up to 24 h) in the rat in order to discover whether the sensitivity of mitochondrial overt carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT I) to malonyl-CoA plays an important part in determining the intrahepatic potential for fatty acid oxidation during the onset of ketogenic conditions. A rapid increase in blood ketone-body concentration occurred between 12 and 16 h of starvation, several hours after the marked fall in hepatic malonyl-CoA and in serum insulin concentrations and doubling of plasma non-esterfied fatty acid (NEFA) concentration. Consequently, both the changes in hepatic malonyl-CoA and serum NEFA preceded the increase in blood ketone-body concentration by several hours. The maximal activity of CPT I increased gradually throughout the 24 h period of starvation, but the increases did not become significant before 18 h of starvation. By contrast, the sensitivity of CPT I to malonyl-CoA and the increase in blood ketone-body concentration followed an identical time course, demonstrating the central importance of this parameter in determining the ketogenic response of the liver to the onset of the starved state.

In newborn-pig hepatocytes, the rate of oleate oxidation is extremely low, despite a very low malonyl-CoA concentration. By contrast, the sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) I to malonyl-CoA inhibition is high, as suggested by the very low concentration of malonyl-CoA required for 50% inhibition of CPT I (IC50). The rates of oleate oxidation and ketogenesis are respectively 70 and 80% lower in mitochondria isolated from newborn-pig liver than from starved-adult-rat liver mitochondria. Using polarographic measurements, we showed that the oxidation of oleoyl-CoA and palmitoyl-L-carnitine is very low when the acetyl-CoA produced is channelled into the hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) pathway by addition of malonate. In contrast, the oxidation of the same substrates is high when the acetyl-CoA produced is directed towards the citric acid cycle by addition of malate. We demonstrate that the limitation of ketogenesis in newborn-pig liver is due to a very low amount and activity of mitochondrial HMG-CoA synthase as compared with rat liver mitochondria, and suggest that this could promote the accumulation of acetyl-CoA and/or beta-oxidation products that in turn would decrease the overall rate of fatty acid oxidation in newborn- and adult-pig livers.

Rat hepatic mitochondrial function, including oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid oxidative capacity, kinetic parameters of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I), and sensitivity of CPT I to malonyl-CoA inhibition were studied in vitro in isolated mitochondria following Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The hepatic mitochondrial CPT I in LPS-treated rats showed a lower apparent maximum velocity (Vmax) for palmitoyl-CoA and Ki for malonyl-CoA without changes in apparent Km for palmitoyl-CoA. The rate of oxygen consumption or end-product formation of palmitoyl-L-carnitine and octanoate was not altered, but the rate of CPT I-dependent palmitoyl-CoA (plus L-carnitine) oxidation was reduced by LPS, when acetyl-CoA produced via beta-oxidation was directed toward citrate. When acetyl-CoA was directed to acetoacetate, the oxygen consumption rates of palmitoyl-L-carnitine and palmitoyl-CoA (plus L-carnitine) were decreased by LPS, although mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase activity was not altered. These results indicate that hepatic mitochondria isolated from LPS-treated rats show lower ketogenic and long-chain acyl-CoA oxidative capacity than those of fasted controls, and inhibition of ketogenesis is elicited at a site distal to CPT I in addition to reduction in CPT I activity.

To examine the regulation of hepatic acetogenesis in neonatal swine, carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) activity was measured in the presence of varying palmitoyl-CoA (substrate) and malonyl-CoA (inhibitor) concentrations, and [1-14C]-palmitate oxidation was simultaneously measured. Accumulation rates of 14C-labeled acetate, ketone bodies, and citric acid cycle intermediates within the acid-soluble products were determined using radio-HPLC. Measurements were conducted in mitochondria isolated from newborn, 24-h (fed or fasted), and 5-mo-old pigs. Acetate rather than ketone bodies was the predominant radiolabeled product, and its production increased twofold with increasing fatty acid oxidation during the first 24-h suckling period. The rate of acetogenesis was directly proportional to CPT I activity. The high activity of CPT I in 24-h-suckling piglets was not attributable to an increase in CPT I gene expression, but rather to a large decrease in the sensitivity of CPT I to malonyl-CoA inhibition, which offset a developmental decrease in affinity of CPT I for palmitoyl-CoA. Specifically, the IC50 for malonyl-CoA inhibition and Km value for palmitoyl-CoA measured in 24-h-suckling pigs were 1.8- and 2.7-fold higher than measured in newborn pigs. The addition of anaplerotic carbon from malate (10 mM) significantly reduced 14C accumulation in acetate ( P < 0.003); moreover, the reduction was much greater in newborn (80%) than in 24-h-fed (72%) and 5-mo-old pigs (55%). The results demonstrate that acetate is the primary product of hepatic mitochondrial β-oxidation in Sus scrofa and that regulation during early development is mediated primarily via kinetic modulation of CPT I.

Hepatic Fatty Acid Oxidation

The temporal changes in oleate oxidation, lipogenesis, malonyl-CoA concentration and sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT 1) to malonyl-CoA inhibition were studied in isolated rabbit hepatocytes and mitochondria as a function of time after birth of the animal or time in culture after exposure to glucagon, cyclic AMP or insulin. (1) Oleate oxidation was very low during the first 6 h after birth, whereas lipogenesis rate and malonyl-CoA concentration decreased rapidly during this period to reach levels as low as those found in 24-h-old newborns that show active oleate oxidation. (2) The changes in the activity of CPT I and the IC50 (concn. causing 50% inhibition) for malonyl-CoA paralleled those of oleate oxidation. (3) In cultured fetal hepatocytes, the addition of glucagon or cyclic AMP reproduced the changes that occur spontaneously after birth. A 12 h exposure to glucagon or cyclic AMP was sufficient to inhibit lipogenesis totally and to cause a decrease in malonyl-CoA concentration, but a 24 h exposure was required to induce oleate oxidation. (4) The induction of oleate oxidation by glucagon or cyclic AMP is triggered by the fall in the malonyl-CoA sensitivity of CPT I. (5) In cultured hepatocytes from 24 h-old newborns, the addition of insulin inhibits no more than 30% of the high oleate oxidation, whereas it stimulates lipogenesis and increases malonyl-CoA concentration by 4-fold more than in fetal cells (no oleate oxidation). This poor effect of insulin on oleate oxidation seems to be due to the inability of the hormone to increase the sensitivity of CPT I sufficiently. Altogether, these results suggest that the malonyl-CoA sensitivity of CPT I is the major site of regulation during the induction of fatty acid oxidation in the fetal rabbit liver.
