Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle plays a major role in the development of type 2 diabetes and may be causally associated with increases in intramuscular fatty acid metabolites. Fatty acid transport protein 1 (FATP1) is an acyl-CoA synthetase highly expressed in skeletal muscle and modulates fatty acid uptake and metabolism by converting fatty acids into fatty acyl-CoA. To investigate the role of FATP1 in glucose homeostasis and in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance, we examined the effect of acute lipid infusion or chronic high-fat feeding on insulin action in FATP1 KO mice. Whole-body adiposity, adipose tissue expression of adiponectin, intramuscular fatty acid metabolites, and insulin sensitivity were not altered in FATP1 KO mice fed a regular chow diet. In contrast, FATP1 deletion protected the KO mice from fat-induced insulin resistance and intramuscular accumulation of fatty acyl-CoA without alteration in whole-body adiposity. These findings demonstrate an important role of ...

Diabetes mellitus (DM) during pregnancy can result in fetal overgrowth, likely due to placental dysfunction, which has health consequences for the infant. Here we test our prediction from previous work using a placental cell line that high glucose concentrations affect placental lipid metabolism. Placentas from women with type 1 (n = 13), type 2 (n = 6) or gestational (n = 12) DM, BMI-matched to mothers without DM (n = 18), were analysed for lipase and fatty acid transport proteins and fatty acid and triglyceride content. Explants from uncomplicated pregnancies (n = 6) cultured in physiological or high glucose were similarly analysed. High glucose levels did not alter placental lipase or transporter expression or the profile and abundance of fatty acids, but triglyceride levels were higher (p , 0.05), suggesting reduced β- oxidation. DM did not affect placental protein expression or fatty acid profile. Triglyceride levels of placentas from mothers with pre-existing DM were similar to controls, ...

MCTs, precursors of MCFAs, are thought to enter hepatocytes and mitochondria by a minimal use of the normal fatty acid transport systems or by diffusion, and then degraded by direct thermogenesis [72]. MCFAs are not incorporated into chylomicrons, instead they are absorbed directly into the hepatic portal vein, suggesting that they do not require transporters such as CD36 or fatty acid transporter proteins to enter the liver [29, 72]. However, it has been demonstrated that GPR40 and GPR120 receptors are involved with MCFA and LCFA uptake respectively. These receptors are expressed in enteroendocrine L and K cells producing glucagon-like peptides (GLP-1 and 2) and gastric inhibitory peptides [73-75]. MCFAs have several recognition and activation mechanisms that need to be elucidated.. LCFAs (n-3) are involved in liver steatosis and inflammation through decreased PPAR-α signaling and NF-kB activation [41]. However, feeding mice with a HFD aggravate liver injury increasing the expression levels of ...

Chronic isoproterenol administration produces a rapid, highly reproducible rodent model of cardiac hypertrophy. Yet, despite widespread use of this model, the effects of isoproterenol on in vivo cardiac function and substrate metabolism are unknown. Isoproterenol (5 mg.kg(-1).day(-1)) was infused for 7 days in male Wistar rats (n = 22). In vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed that left ventricular mass increased by 37% and end-diastolic and systolic volumes increased by 33% and 73%, respectively, following isoproterenol infusion. Cardiac function at the base of the left ventricle was normal, but apical ejection fraction decreased from 90% to 31% and apical free wall thickening decreased by 94%, accompanied by increased fibrosis and inflammation. Myocardial palmitate oxidation rates were 25% lower, and citrate synthase and medium chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase activities were reduced by 25% and 29%, respectively, following isoproterenol infusion. Fatty acid transporter protein levels were 11

p,Long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) are important metabolic substrates for mammalian cells. They are utilized as energy sources, through β-oxidation, and as substrates for the synthesis of lipids, including phospholipids and triglycerides, as well as lipids involved in cellular signalling. LCFAs, themselves can also participate in a variety of crucial cell signalling cascades. Adipocytes, through the storage of LCFAs as triglycerides and the mobilization of stored LCFAs are important regulators of energy balance in mammals. A variety of pathogenic conditions involve impaired storage or utilization of LCFAs.,/p, ,p,The involvement of LCFAs in these events involves their initial interaction with, uptake by and trafficking within cells. These processes were studied in murine 3T3-L1 cells, which differentiate from preadipocytes to adipocytes. Upon differentiation, they acquired increased levels of LCFA uptake, which was saturable, exhibiting high affinities both for oleate, a natural LCFA, and for ...

The second possibility is that, once you have established high enough levels of FFAs to push through the CPT-1a bottle neck, you simply run at this level flat out, all the time. One of the features of the CPT-1a from the modified gene is that it fails to be inhibited by malonyl-CoA. Even with limited CPT-1a activity there must be times at which ATP synthesis exceeds metabolic requirements and fatty acid transport ought to slow. There is no longer any brake to be applied to FFA transport if excess acetyl-CoA, exported to form malonyl-CoA in the cytoplasm, fails to inhibit CPT-1a . Oversupply of ATP within the matrix is likely to provide optimal uncoupling conditions, in excess of those from a ketogenic diet with regulated fatty acid uptake. That would be my guess. If its cold enough, this might make the difference between survival or not. It keeps you warm, especially when you are asleep and the TCA should be quiescent ...

Abstract: Increased resistance to blood flow in arteries is built up by blockadeof transport of saturated fatty acids of triglycerides in VLDL to cell through apoE/B-100receptor endocythosis (active transport). This way does not affect the structure of cellmembrane. blockade of the active transport stimulates the compensating activation oflipolysis increasing the level of free saturated fatty acids in the blood. These fattyacids are included into the cell membrane via passive transport. In the membrane fattyacids form local domains with unregulated permeability and nonspecific ion transport: Na+and Ca2+ enter into cell without any control and K+ and Mg2+leak out. Responding cells activate Na+, K+- and Ca2+-ATPase and cholesterol synthesis. Ion pumps activate Na+ and Ca2+out-fluxes; cholesterol blocks nonspecific ion permeability, but increases membranemicroviscosity and inhibits secondary activity of ion pumps, thus forming vicious circleof hypernatriemia and hypercalciemia disturbing functions ...

The transport of palmitic acid (PA) across planar lipid bilayer membranes was measured using a high specific activity [14C]palmitate as tracer for PA. An all-glass trans chamber was employed in order to minimize adsorbance of PA onto the surface. Electrically neutral (diphytanoyl phosphatidylcholine) and charged (Azolectin) planar bilayers were maintained at open electric circuit. We found a permeability to PA of (8.8 +/- 1.9) x 10(-6) cm s(-1) (n = 15) in neutral and of (10.3 +/- 2.2) x 10(-6) cm s(-1) (n = 5) in charged bilayers. These values fall within the order of magnitude of those calculated from desorption constants of PA in different vesicular systems. Differences between data obtained from planar and vesicular systems are discussed in terms of the role of solvent, radius of curvature, and pH changes. ...

My broad research remit is fatty acid transport and metabolism in health and disease. My research activities are currently focused on zinc a2 glycoprotein (ZAG), a fat depleting factor in blood associated with obesity.. My lab has identified ZAG as a zinc metalloprotein with two potential lipid binding sites. This was achieved using E. coli recombinant ZAG and a range of biophysical techniques including fluorescence, mass spectrometry and analytical ultracentrifugation. We recently solved the first crystal structure of ZAG bound to a fatty acid ligand. I presented this work at regional and international meetings. The research was supported by the BBSRC LIDo PhD programme, AdipoGen Life Sciences and the Biochemical Society.. My earlier recent work showed that placental fatty acid transporter expression is controlled by hypoxia inducible factors. This work is relevant to pre-eclampsia and was supported by an EPSRC doctoral training grant.. ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Long-chain bases of sphingolipids are transported into cells via the acyl-CoA synthetases. AU - Narita, Tomomi. AU - Naganuma, Tatsuro. AU - Sase, Yurie. AU - Kihara, Akio. PY - 2016/5/3. Y1 - 2016/5/3. N2 - Transport of dietary lipids into small-intestinal epithelial cells is pathologically and nutritionally important. However, lipid uptake remains an almost unexplored research area. Although we know that long-chain bases (LCBs), constituents of sphingolipids, can enter into cells efficiently, the molecular mechanism of LCB uptake is completely unclear. Here, we found that the yeast acyl-CoA synthetases (ACSs) Faa1 and Faa4 are redundantly involved in LCB uptake. In addition to fatty acid-activating activity, transporter activity toward long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) has been suggested for ACSs. Both LCB and LCFA transports were largely impaired in faa1Δ faa4Δ cells. Furthermore, LCB and LCFA uptakes were mutually competitive. However, the energy dependency was different for ...

Postprandial lipemia and fatty acid fluxes occur several times daily, resulting in very efficient absorption of dietary fat and redistribution to various tissues. Absorbed dietary lipids are incorporated into chylomicrons to distribute triglycerides either for storage in adipose tissue or for immediate use in muscle. Commonly, the dietary sources of fat exceed the actual needs and the tissues are faced with dealing with the excess. Under these circumstances, the removal process of dietary triglycerides and fatty acids becomes overloaded, resulting in excessive postprandial lipemia and accumulation of chylomicrons, remnant particles and non-esterified fatty acids. These particles are associated with disruptions in lipoprotein metabolism and changes in inflammatory factors, thus their association with cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and diabetes is not surprising. Dietary factors, not just fat, influence postprandial fluxes. This leads to the question: do we need a standardized fat ...

Candidate genes that could underlie the increased flow of fatty acids include regulators of fatty acid uptake and storage by adipocytes, such as those for hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) (9), lipoprotein lipase (LPL) (10), and complement component C3a (whose proteolytic product is the acylation-stimulating protein [ASP] [ref. 11]), as well as for various fatty acid transporters and binding proteins. Although some investigators have suggested links between HSL, LPL, and ASP, and either the insulin resistance/obesity syndrome or combined hyperlipidemia (which some believe is also the result of insulin resistance), no firm evidence yet exists linking these important proteins to the insulin resistance syndrome. Indeed, separate studies of a mouse in which the gene for ASP was deleted have resulted in contradictory results regarding its role in lipid metabolism (11, 12). On the other hand, recent data from mice carrying null mutations in the gene for the fatty acid transporter CD36 are quite revealing ...

In mammalian cells, the uptake of amino acids is mediated by specialized, energy-dependent and passive transporters with overlapping substrate specificities. Most energy-dependent transporters are coupled either to the cotransport of Na+ or Cl- or to the countertransport of K+. Passive transporters are either facilitated transporters or channels. As a prelude to the molecular characterization of the different classes of transporters, we have isolated transporter cDNAs by expression-cloning with Xenopus laevis oocytes and we have characterized the cloned transporters functionally by uptake studies into oocytes using radiolabelled substrates and by electrophysiology to determine substrate-evoked currents. Mammalian transporters investigated include the dibasic and neutral amino acid transport protein D2/NBAT (system b0+) and the Na(+)- and K(+)-dependent neuronal and epithelial high-affinity glutamate transporter EAAC1 (system XAG-). A detailed characterization of these proteins has provided new ...

Fatty acids, the building blocks of biological lipids, are synthesized in plastids and then transported to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for assimilation into specific lipid classes. The mechanism of fatty acid transport from plastids to the ER has not been identified. Here we report that AtABCA9, an ABC transporter in Arabidopsis thaliana, mediates this transport. AtABCA9 was localized to the ER, and atabca9 null mutations reduced seed triacylglycerol (TAG) content by 35% compared with WT. Developing atabca9 seeds incorporated 35% less (14)C-oleoyl-CoA into TAG compared with WT seeds. Furthermore, overexpression of AtABCA9 enhanced TAG deposition by up to 40%. These data strongly support a role for AtABCA9 as a supplier of fatty acid substrates for TAG biosynthesis at the ER during the seed-filling stage. AtABCA9 may be a powerful tool for increasing lipid production in oilseeds. ...

The protein encoded by this gene is the fourth major glycoprotein of the platelet surface and serves as a receptor for thrombospondin in platelets and various cell lines. Since thrombospondins are widely distributed proteins involved in a variety of adhesive processes, this protein may have important functions as a cell adhesion molecule. It binds to collagen, thrombospondin, anionic phospholipids and oxidized LDL. It directly mediates cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocytes and it binds long chain fatty acids and may function in the transport and/or as a regulator of fatty acid transport. Mutations in this gene cause platelet glycoprotein deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

Several experimental studies have shown that levocarnitine reduces myocardial injury after ischemia and reperfusion by counteracting the toxic effect of high levels of free fatty acids, which occur in ischemia, and by improving carbohydrate metabolism. In addition to increasing the rate of fatty acid transport into mitochondria, levocarnitine reduces the intramitochondrial ratio of acetyl-CoA to free CoA, thus stimulating the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase and increasing the oxidation of pyruvate. Supplementation of the myocardium with levocarnitine results in an increased tissue carnitine content, a prevention of the loss of high-energy phosphate stores, ischemic injury, and improved heart recovery on reperfusion. Clinically, levocarnitine has been shown to have anti-ischemic properties. In small short-term studies, levocarnitine acts as an antianginal agent that reduces ST segment depression and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. These short-term studies also show that levocarnitine ...

One thing we found out about the disorder is that kids with this disorder can appear completely normal and healthy, as in Owens case, until they get an illness such as the flu and cannot or will not eat for extended periods of time. When this happens if they are not properly cared for things can get bad really quick.. The geneticist also explained the disorder in more detail. The problem with this disorder is in the mitochondria where fatty acids are broken down. Very long chain fatty acids are in just about everything and are abundant in breast milk. In normal functioning mitochondria the fatty acids enter and move around in the mitochondria and are broken down into shorter chains. Once the fatty acids are broken down they can leave the mitochondria, enter the blood and are harmless. In Owens case the very long chain fatty acids cannot be broken down due to a missing enzyme, therefore they are released right back into the blood and these long chains can be toxic when they build-up. Because of ...

Carnitine is a quaternary amine compound found at high concentration in animal tissues, particularly muscle, and is most well studied for its contribution to fatty acid transport into mitochondria. In bacteria, carnitine is an important osmoprotectant, and can also enhance thermotolerance, cryotolerance and barotolerance. Carnitine can be transported into the cell or acquired from metabolic precursors, where it can serve directly as a compatible solute for stress protection or be metabolized through one of a few distinct pathways as a nutrient source. In this review, we summarize what is known about carnitine physiology and metabolism in bacteria. In particular, recent advances in the aerobic and anaerobic metabolic pathways as well as the use of carnitine as an electron acceptor have addressed some long-standing questions in the field.

Under discreetly benfotiamine uk these regulations, prisoners may consent to socio-behavioral or biomedical research if the consent is informed, meaning the prisoner is informed about the research, is told that participation is voluntary and can be stopped at any time without penalty, is told of the risks of the research, and is aware of alternatives.

OXPHOS protein levels were especially abundant in 2A fibers, in accordance with the greatest content of mitochondria among the subtypes (Supplementary Fig S6) [26]. However, when we normalized for mitochondrial content (using cytochrome c or succinate dehydrogenase as indicators of mitochondrial quantity [31]), other protein subsets significantly deviated from this simple trend, therefore reflecting functional mitochondrial heterogeneity. Type 1 fibers had highest protein levels in enzymes responsible for beta‐oxidation, located in the mitochondrial matrix, including Acadl, Hadha, Etfa and Etfb complex and Etfdh. After this normalization, the differences in proteins involved in beta‐oxidation were statistically significant between subtypes (P , 0.05) (Supplementary Table S3). Proteins involved in the conversion of fatty acids to fatty acyl‐CoA esters via Acsl1, located in the outer mitochondrial membrane, and proteins involved in fatty acid import at the inner mitochondrial membrane such ...
