Objective: Compare the postprandial fatty acid metabolism of isotopically labeled stearate (U- 13 C18:0) and oleate (U- 13 C18:1). Approach and Results: In conjunction with a randomized-controlled crossover trial, 6 hypercholesterolemic postmenopausal women (≥50 years; body mass index: 25.6±3.0 kg/m 2 ; LDL [low-density lipoprotein]-cholesterol ≥110 mg/dL) consumed isocaloric diets enriched in 18:0 or 18:1 (10%–15% E) for 5 weeks each. On day 1 of week 5, following a 12-hour fast, participants receive their experimental diet divided into 13 hourly meals beginning at 8 am . U- 13 C18:0 or U- 13 C18:1 was incorporated into the 1:00 pm meal (1.0 mg/kg body weight). Serial blood and breath samples were collected over 12 hours and fasting samples at 24 and 48 hours. Plasma and lipid subfraction fatty acid profiles were assessed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector, isotope-enrichment by liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and fatty acid oxidation rate (expired 13 CO 2 ) by isotope ratio mass spectrometry. Both diets resulted in similar plasma LDL-cholesterol concentrations. Kinetic curves showed that U- 13 C18:0 had a higher plasma area under the curve (66%), lower plasma clearance rate (−46%), and a lower cumulative oxidation rate (−34%) than U- 13 C18:1. Three labeled plasma metabolites of U- 13 C18:0 were detected: 13 C16:0, 13 C16:1, and 13 C18:1. No plasma metabolites of U- 13 C18:1 were detected within the study time-frame. Higher incorporation of 18:0 in cholesteryl ester and triglyceride fractions was observed on the 18:0 compared with the 18:1 diet. Conclusions: The neutrality of 18:0 on plasma LDL-cholesterol concentrations is not attributable to a single factor. Compared with 18:1, 18:0 had higher plasma area under the curve because of lower clearance and oxidation rates, underwent both a direct and a multistage conversion to 18:1, and was preferentially incorporated into cholesteryl esters and triglycerides.

Abstract Background The optimum lipid indexes, predicting the coronary lesion in postmenopausal women are not clear. Objective To evaluate the optimum lipid predicter for coronary lesion in routine and advanced lipid tests. Method 300 postmenopausal women were enrolled and assigned into coronary heart disease (CHD) Group (242), and non-CHD Group (58). Routine and advanced lipid indexes were measured with standard laboratory test and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The correlation and predictivities for CHD of routine and advanced lipid indexes were performed with Logistic regression, Spearman correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC). Results Age (hazard ratio (HR) 2.58, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.08–5.86, P = 0.03), apolipoprotein B (ApoB) (HR 1.35, 95% CI 1.15–1.59, P < 0.001), corrected particles of low-density lipoprotein (LDL-p-corr) (HR 1.05, 95% CI 1.03–1.06, P < 0.001) and corrected particles of non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL-p-corr) (HR 1.02, 95% CI 1.01–1.03, P < 0.001) were the risk factors of CHD. LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), LDL-p, LDL-p-corr, HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), non-HDL cholesterol (non-HDL-C), non-HDL-p and non-HDL-p-corr were in linear correlation with Gensini score. Advanced lipid indexes LDL-p (area under curve (AUC) = 0.750, P = 0.02), LDL-p-corr (AUC = 0.759, P = 0.02), non-HDL-p (AUC = 0.693, P = 0.03) and non-HDL-p-corr (AUC = 0.699, P = 0.03) were more predictive for CHD than the routine ones (LDL-C and non-HDL-C). Conclusion In postmenopausal women, age, ApoB, LDL-p-corr and non-HDL-p-corr were risk factors of CHD. Compared with traditional lipid items, LDL-p, LDL-p-corr, non-HDL-p and non-HDL-p-corr may be better lipid indexes for CHD in postmenopausal women.

Impaired cardiac insulin signaling and high cardiac fatty acid oxidation rates are characteristics of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Potential roles for liver-derived metabolic factors in mediating cardiac energy homeostasis are underappreciated. Plasma levels of adropin, a liver secreted peptide, increase during feeding and decrease during fasting and diabetes. In skeletal muscle, adropin preferentially promotes glucose over fatty acid oxidation. We therefore determined what effect adropin has on cardiac energy metabolism, insulin signaling and cardiac efficiency. C57Bl/6 mice were fasted to accentuate the differences in adropin plasma levels between animals injected 3 times over 24 hr with either vehicle or adropin (450 nmol/kg i.p.). Despite fasting-induced predominance of fatty acid oxidation measured in isolated working hearts, insulin inhibition of fatty acid oxidation was re-established in adropin-treated mice (from 1022±143 to 517±56 nmol. g dry wt -1 . min -1 , p <0.05) compared to vehicle-treated mice (from 757±104 to 818±103 nmol. g dry wt -1 . min -1 ). Adropin-treated mice hearts showed higher cardiac work over the course of perfusion (p<0.05 vs. vehicle), which was accompanied by improved cardiac efficiency and enhanced phosphorylation of insulin signaling enzymes (tyrosine-IRS-1, AS160, p<0.05). Acute addition of adropin (2nM) to isolated working hearts from non-fasting mice showed a robust stimulation of glucose oxidation compared to vehicle-treated hearts (3025±401 vs 1708±292 nmol. g dry wt -1 . min -1 , p<0.05, respectively) with a corresponding inhibition of palmitate oxidation (325±61 vs 731±160 nmol. g dry wt -1 . min -1 , p<0.05, respectively), even in the presence of insulin. Acute adropin addition to hearts also increased IRS-1 tyrosine-phosphorylation as well as Akt, and GSK3β phosphorylation (p<0.05), suggesting acute receptor- and/or post-translational modification-mediated mechanisms. These results suggest adropin as a putative candidate for the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of increasing exogenous palmitate concentration on carbohydrate and palmitate oxidation in hearts from control and 1-wk diabetic rats. Hearts were perfused with glucose, [3-13C]lactate, and [U-13C]palmitate. Substrate oxidation rates were determined by combining13C-NMR glutamate isotopomer analysis of tissue extracts with measurements of oxygen consumption. Carbohydrate oxidation was markedly depressed after diabetes in the presence of low (0.1 mM) but not high (1.0 mM) palmitate concentration. Increasing exogenous palmitate concentration 10-fold resulted in a 7-fold increase in the contribution of palmitate to energy production in controls but only a 30% increase in the diabetic group. Consequently, at 0.1 mM palmitate, the rate of fatty acid oxidation was higher in the diabetic group than in controls; however, at 1.0 mM fatty acid oxidation, it was significantly depressed. Therefore, after 1 wk of diabetes, the major differences in carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism occur primarily at low rather than high exogenous palmitate concentration.

The Impact

Dramatic maturational changes in cardiac energy metabolism occur in the newborn period, with a shift from glycolysis to fatty acid oxidation. Acetylation and succinylation of lysyl residues are novel posttranslational modifications involved in the control of cardiac energy metabolism. We investigated the impact of changes in protein acetylation/succinylation on the maturational changes in energy metabolism of 1-, 7-, and 21-day-old rabbit hearts. Cardiac fatty acid β-oxidation rates increased in 21-day vs. 1- and 7-day-old hearts, whereas glycolysis and glucose oxidation rates decreased in 21-day-old hearts. The fatty acid oxidation enzymes, long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCAD) and β-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (β-HAD), were hyperacetylated with maturation, positively correlated with their activities and fatty acid β-oxidation rates. This alteration was associated with increased expression of the mitochondrial acetyltransferase, general control of amino acid synthesis 5 like 1 (GCN5L1), since silencing GCN5L1 mRNA in H9c2 cells significantly reduced acetylation and activity of LCAD and β-HAD. An increase in mitochondrial ATP production rates with maturation was associated with the decreased acetylation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α, a transcriptional regulator for mitochondrial biogenesis. In addition, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, hexokinase, and phosphoglycerate mutase expression declined postbirth, whereas acetylation of these glycolytic enzymes increased. Phosphorylation rather than acetylation of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) increased in 21-day-old hearts, accounting for the low glucose oxidation postbirth. A maturational increase was also observed in succinylation of PDH and LCAD. Collectively, our data are the first suggesting that acetylation and succinylation of the key metabolic enzymes in newborn hearts play a crucial role in cardiac energy metabolism with maturation.

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has previously been demonstrated to phosphorylate and inactivate skeletal muscle acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), the enzyme responsible for synthesis of malonyl-CoA, an inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 and fatty acid oxidation. Contraction-induced activation of AMPK with subsequent phosphorylation/inactivation of ACC has been postulated to be responsible in part for the increase in fatty acid oxidation that occurs in muscle during exercise. These studies were designed to answer the question: Does phosphorylation of ACC by AMPK make palmitoyl-CoA a more effective inhibitor of ACC? Purified rat muscle ACC was subjected to phosphorylation by AMPK. Activity was determined on nonphosphorylated and phosphorylated ACC preparations at acetyl-CoA concentrations ranging from 2 to 500 μM and at palmitoyl-CoA concentrations ranging from 0 to 100 μM. Phosphorylation resulted in a significant decline in the substrate saturation curve at all palmitoyl-CoA concentrations. The inhibitor constant for palmitoyl-CoA inhibition of ACC was reduced from 1.7 ± 0.25 to 0.85 ± 0.13 μM as a consequence of phosphorylation. At 0.5 mM citrate, ACC activity was reduced to 13% of control values in response to the combination of phosphorylation and 10 μM palmitoyl-CoA. Skeletal muscle ACC is more potently inhibited by palmitoyl-CoA after having been phosphorylated by AMPK. This may contribute to low-muscle malonyl-CoA values and increasing fatty acid oxidation rates during long-term exercise when plasma fatty acid concentrations are elevated.

This paper reviews the clinical applications of tandem mass spectrometry in diagnosis and screening for inherited metabolic diseases. The broad-spectrum of diseases covered, specificity, ease of sample preparation, and high throughput provided by the MS/MS technology has led to the development of multi-disorder newborn screening programs in many countries for amino acid disorders, organic acidurias, and fatty acid oxidation defects. The application of MS/MS in selective screening has revolutionized the field and made a major impact on the detection of certain disease classes such as the fatty acid oxidation defects. New specific and rapid tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and high performance liquid chromatography–MS/MS methods are supplementing or replacing some of the classical gas chromatography– MS/MS methods for a multitude of metabolites and disorders. In the near future, we should expect the emergence of new promising methods for diagnosing not only individual nosologic forms, but also entire groups of inherited metabolic diseases.

Introduction: Diabetic Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major cause of death in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Alterations in cardiac energy metabolism including increased fatty acid oxidation rates and reduced glucose oxidation rates are key contributing factors to the development of DCM. Studies have shown that Aldose Reductase (AR), an enzyme activated under hyperglycemic conditions, can modulate myocardial glucose and fatty acid oxidation, and promotes cardiac dysfunction. Hypothesis: Pharmacological inhibition of AR using a next-generation inhibitor AT-001, can mitigate DCM in mice by modulating cardiac energy metabolism and improving cardiac efficiency. Methods: Male human AR overexpressing (hAR-Tg) and C57BL/6J (Control) mice were subjected to experimental T2D (high-fat diet [60% kcal from lard] for 10-wk with a single intraperitoneal streptozotocin injection of 75 mg/kg) and treated for the last 3-wk with AT-001 (40mg/kg/day) or vehicle via oral gavage. Cardiac energy metabolism and in vivo cardiac function were assessed via isolated working heart perfusions and ultrasound echocardiography, respectively. Results: AT-001 treatment significantly improved cardiac energetics in a murine model of DCM (hAR-Tg mice with T2D). Particularly, AT-001-treated mice exhibited decreased cardiac fatty acid oxidation rates compared to the vehicle-treated mice (342 ± 53 vs 964 ± 130 nmol/min/g dry wt.). Concurrently, there was a significant decrease in cardiac oxygen consumption in the AT-001-treated compared to the vehicle-treated mice (41 ± 12 vs 60 ± 11 μmol/min/g dry wt.), suggesting increased cardiac efficiency. Furthermore, treatment with AT-001 prevented cardiac structural and functional abnormalities present in DCM, including diastolic dysfunction as reflected by an increase in the tissue Doppler E’/A’ ratio and decrease in E/E’ ratio. Moreover, AT-001 treatment prevented cardiac hypertrophy as reflected by a decrease in LV mass in AT-001-treated mice. Conclusions: AR inhibition with AT-001 prevents cardiac structural and functional abnormalities in a mouse model of DCM, and normalizes cardiac energetics by shifting cardiac metabolism towards a non-diabetic metabolic state.

We tested the hypothesis that myocardial substrate supply regulates fatty acid oxidation independent of changes in acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activities. Fatty acid oxidation was measured in isolated working rat hearts exposed to different concentrations of exogenous long-chain (0.4 or 1.2 mM palmitate) or medium-chain (0.6 or 2.4 mM octanoate) fatty acids. Fatty acid oxidation was increased with increasing exogenous substrate concentration in both palmitate and octanoate groups. Malonyl-CoA content only rose as acetyl-CoA supply from octanoate oxidation increased. The increases in octanoate oxidation and malonyl-CoA content were independent of changes in ACC and AMPK activity, except that ACC activity increased with very high acetyl-CoA supply levels. Our data suggest that myocardial substrate supply is the primary mechanism responsible for alterations in fatty acid oxidation rates under nonstressful conditions and when substrates are present at physiological concentrations. More extreme variations in substrate supply lead to changes in fatty acid oxidation by the additional involvement of intracellular regulatory pathways.
