We report the complete genome sequence of Moraxella osloensis strain KMC41, isolated from laundry with malodor. The KMC41 genome comprises a 2,445,556-bp chromosome and three plasmids. A fatty acid desaturase and at least four β-oxidation-related genes putatively associated with 4-methyl-3-hexenoic acid generation were detected in the KMC41 chromosome.

In vivo administration of GH induces lipolysis and lipid oxidation. However, it is not clear whether the stimulation of lipid oxidation is a direct effect of GH or is driven by increased substrate supply secondary to lipolysis. An in vitro bioassay has been established for assessing β-oxidation of fatty acids in mitochondria, based on the measurement of conversion of tritiated palmitic acid to 3H2O by fibroblasts in culture. We have modified this assay to investigate whether GH stimulates fatty acid oxidation. GH stimulated oxidation of palmitic acid maximally by 26.7 ± 2.5% (mean ± sem; P < 0.0001). The stimulation was biphasic, with the oxidation rate increasing with increasing GH concentration to a peak response at 1.5 nmol/L and declining to a level not significantly different from control thereafter. Insulin-like growth factor-I at concentrations of up to 250 nmol/L had no significant effect on fatty acid oxidation. GH-binding protein attenuated the effect of GH. An anti-GH receptor (GHR) antibody (MAb263), which dimerizes the receptor and induces GH-like biological actions, significantly stimulated fatty acid oxidation. Another anti-GHR antibody (MAb5), which prevents receptor dimerization, suppressed GH action. In summary, GH directly stimulated fatty acid oxidation, an action not mediated by insulin-like growth factor-I. Dimerization of GHRs was necessary for this effect. This bioassay is a practical tool for studying the regulatory effects of GH on lipid oxidation.

Methodology for measuring plasma free fatty acid (FFA) turnover/oxidation with [1–14C]palmitate was tested in normal subjects. In study 1, two different approaches (720-min tracer infusion without prime vs. 150-min infusion with NaH14CO3 prime) to achieve steady-state conditions of 14CO2 yielded equivalent rates of plasma FFA turnover/oxidation. In study 2, during staircase NaH14CO3 infusion, calculated rates of 14CO2 appearance agreed closely with NaH14CO3 infusion rates. In study 3, 300-min euglycemic insulin clamp documented that full biological effect of insulin on plasma FFA turnover/oxidation was established within 60–120 min. In study 4, plasma insulin concentration was raised to 14 +/- 2, 23 +/- 2, 38 +/- 2, 72 +/- 5, and 215 +/- 10 microU/ml. A dose-dependent insulin suppression of plasma FFA turnover/oxidation was observed. Plasma FFA concentration correlated positively with plasma FFA turnover/oxidation in basal and insulinized states. Total lipid oxidation (indirect calorimetry) was significantly higher than plasma FFA oxidation in the basal state, suggesting that intracellular lipid stores contributed to whole body lipid oxidation. Hepatic glucose production and total glucose disposal showed the expected dose-dependent suppression and stimulation, respectively, by insulin. In conclusion, insulin regulation of plasma FFA turnover/oxidation is maximally manifest at low physiological plasma insulin concentrations, and in the basal state a significant contribution to whole body lipid oxidation originates from lipid pool(s) that are different from plasma FFA.
