The fatty acid oxidizing system present in lateral line muscle of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdnerii) and sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) was studied by using subcellular particles, having the sedimentation characteristics of mitochondria. The rate of oxidation of K-myristate-1-C14, K-octanoate-1-C14, and Na-hexanoate-1-C14 was determined at 25 °C by measuring the formation of C14O2. Oxidation was stimulated by adenosine triphosphate Mg++, coenzyme A and tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates, but not by cytochrome c. It was optimum at pH 7.5–8.5.The data are consistent with the assumption that in the lateral line muscle fatty acid oxidation takes place through the known mechanism involving CoA derivatives.

Abstract Background Metabolic flexibility is the ability of an organism to switch between substrates for energy metabolism, in response to the changing nutritional state and needs of the organism. On the cellular level, metabolic flexibility revolves around the tricarboxylic acid cycle by switching acetyl coenzyme A production from glucose to fatty acids and vice versa. In this study, we modelled cellular metabolic flexibility by constructing a logical model connecting glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, fatty acid synthesis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and then using network analysis to study the behaviours of the model. Results We observed that the substrate switching usually occurs through the inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) by pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDK), which moves the metabolism from glycolysis to fatty acid oxidation. Furthermore, we were able to verify four different regulatory models of PDK to contain known biological observations, leading to the biological plausibility of all four models across different cells and conditions. Conclusion These results suggest that the cellular metabolic flexibility depends upon the PDC-PDK regulatory interaction as a key regulatory switch for changing metabolic substrates.

Pregnancy Toxaemia

Enzymic activities in vitro of liver and brain tissue of sheep with pregnancy toxaemia were measured. Anaerobic glycolysis and oxidations of tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates and related substrates were normal for both brain and liver enzyme preparations. Fatty acid oxidation by liver mitochondria was abnormal. Liver mitochondria from cases of pregnancy toxaemia were invariably incapable of oxidizing octanoate and palmitate, and frequently unable to oxidize propionate. The rate of propionate oxidation was low even when this substrate was oxidized. Butyrate oxidation was not much reduced by pregnancy toxaemia. Starvation of ewes in late pregnancy did not inactivate the fatty acid oxidation chains of liver mitochondria. Possible reasons for the failure of lipid metabolism are discussed. The dependence of sheep liver metabolism upon fatty acid oxidation is discussed. Insignificant amounts of glucose are absorbed from the alimentary canal in sheep and, even if absorbed, are not catabolized to supply acetyl coenzyme A for oxidation in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Consequently sheep liver is prone to failure from interference with fatty acid oxidation. Pregnancy toxaemia is discussed in relevance to the disturbance of fatty acid metabolism which is thought to be of considerable significance in the disease.

This study examined the effects of long-term experimental dysthyroidism on the enzymatic character of the costal diaphragm and selected respiratory parameters. Costal diaphragms from thyroidectomized (TX), euthyroid (EU), and hyperthyroid (HT) male albino rats were used. HT was induced by subcutaneous injections of triiodothyronine on alternate days for 6 wk. Minute ventilation was greater for the HT (70%) compared with the TX rats. The enzymatic potentials of glycolysis (28%), tricarboxylic acid cycle (30%), and fatty acid oxidation (16%) were significantly increased in the HT diaphragms, whereas the potentials were lower by a similar relative extent in the TX diaphragms. The proportion of alkali-labile fibers were greater in the TX and lower in the HT diaphragm. The shifts in heart and muscle lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme activities were consistent with the fiber type changes. These findings show that dysthyroidism modifies the overall enzymatic capacity of the diaphragm (i.e., glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and fatty acid oxidation) along with the proportion of alkali-labile to alkali-stable fiber types. These enzymatic changes are similar to those resulting from exercise training, tracheal banding, streptozotocin diabetes, and emphysema.
