Fatty acid oxidation and synthesis were studied in isolated hepatocytes from adult rats adapted for 44 days on low-fat, high-carbohydrate (LF), diet or high-fat diets, composed of long-chain (LCT) or medium-chain (MCT) triacylglycerols. The rates of [1-14C]octanoate oxidation were almost similar in each group studied, whereas the oxidation of [1-14C]oleate was 50% lower in the LF group than in animals adapted to high-fat diets. The rates of oleate oxidation are inversely correlated with the rates of lipogenesis. However, it seems unlikely that [malonyl-CoA] itself represents the sole mechanism involved in the regulation of oleate oxidation during long-term LCT or MCT feeding, since: (1) despite a 3-fold higher concentration of malonyl-CoA in MCT-fed rats than in LCT-fed ones, the rates of oleate oxidation are similar; (2) when malonyl-CoA concentration is increased after stimulation of lipogenesis (by adding lactate + pyruvate) in MCT-fed rats, to a level comparable with that of the LF group, the rate of oleate oxidation remains 55% higher than that measured under similar conditions in the LF-fed rats; (3) in the LF group, the 90% decrease in malonyl-CoA concentration [by 5-(tetradecyloxy)-2-furoic acid] is not associated with a stimulation of oleate oxidation. By contrast, the sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) to malonyl-CoA is markedly decreased in the LCT- and MCT-fed rats, by 90% and 70% respectively. The relevance of this decrease in the sensitivity of CPT I is discussed.

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.

AbstractExcessive intake of high-energy diets is an important cause of most obesity. The intervention of rats with high-fat diet can replicate the ideal animal model for studying the occurrence of human nutritional obesity. Proteomics and bioinformatics analyses can help us to systematically and comprehensively study the effect of high-fat diet on rat liver. In the present study, 4056 proteins were identified in rat liver by using tandem mass tag. A total of 198 proteins were significantly changed, of which 103 were significantly up-regulated and ninety-five were significantly down-regulated. These significant differentially expressed proteins are primarily involved in lipid metabolism and glucose metabolism processes. The intake of a high-fat diet forces the body to maintain physiological balance by regulating these key protein spots to inhibit fatty acid synthesis, promote fatty acid oxidation and accelerate fatty acid degradation. The present study enriches our understanding of metabolic disorders induced by high-fat diets at the protein level.

High Lactate

We postulate that metabolic conditions that develop systemically during exercise (high blood lactate and high nonesterified fatty acids) are favorable for energy homeostasis of the heart during contractile stimulation. We used working rat hearts perfused at physiological workload and levels of the major energy substrates and compared the metabolic and contractile responses to an acute low-to-high work transition under resting versus exercising systemic metabolic conditions (low vs. high lactate and nonesterified fatty acids in the perfusate). Glycogen preservation, resulting from better maintenance of high-energy phosphates, was a consequence of improved energy homeostasis with high fat and lactate. We explained the result by tighter coupling between workload and total β-oxidation. Total fatty acid oxidation with high fat and lactate reflected increased availability of exogenous and endogenous fats for respiration, as evidenced by increased long-chain fatty acyl-CoA esters (LCFA-CoAs) and by an increased contribution of triglycerides to total β-oxidation. Triglyceride turnover (synthesis and degradation) also appeared to increase. Elevated LCFA-CoAs caused high total β-oxidation despite increased malonyl-CoA. The resulting bottleneck at mitochondrial uptake of LCFA-CoAs stimulated triglyceride synthesis. Our results suggest the following. First, both malonyl-CoA and LCFA-CoAs determine total fatty acid oxidation in heart. Second, concomitant stimulation of peripheral glycolysis and lipolysis should improve cardiac energy homeostasis during exercise. We speculate that high lactate contributes to the salutary effect by bypassing the glycolytic block imposed by fatty acids, acting as an anaplerotic substrate necessary for high tricarbocylic acid cycle flux from fatty acid-derived acetyl-CoA.

Body Concentration

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.

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.
