The influence of octanoate on O2 consumption, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates, and high-energy phosphates was examined in intact resting porcine carotid artery to investigate the role of fatty acid in energy metabolism and its integration with glucose metabolism in vascular smooth muscle. Incubation of resting arteries with octanoate (0.5 mM), which was previously shown to inhibit aerobic glycolysis (6), inhibited lactate production by 64% and increased O2 consumption by 30%. The increase in O2 consumption with octanoate was approximately equal to that calculated to account for the ATP production lost by inhibition of aerobic lactate production by octanoate. In glucose-free medium, the level of high-energy phosphate was reduced but was restored when octanoate was included in the incubation medium. This was associated with an increase in O2 consumption. These results suggest that the energy requirements of resting carotid artery can be largely met by the oxidative metabolism of fatty acid. Octanoate induced anaplerosis of the TCA cycle, as indicated by a 70% increase in the level of citrate. Extracellular glucose was necessary for octanoate-induced anaplerosis, probably by providing the extra carbon via pyruvate carboxylation, whereas a coupled transamination involving aspartate was a less important anaplerotic mechanism.

The cellular energy metabolism is one of the most conserved processes, as it is present in all living organisms. Mitochondria are providing the eukaryotic cell with energy and thus their genome and gene expression has been of broad interest for a long time. Mitochondrial gene expression changes under different conditions and is regulated by genes encoded in the nucleus of the cell. In this context, little is known about non-model organisms and we provide the first large-scaled gene expression analysis of mitochondrial-linked genes in laying hens. We analysed 28 mitochondrial and nuclear genes in 100 individuals in the context of five life-stages and strain differences among five tissues. Our study showed that mitochondrial gene expression increases during the productive life span, and reacts tissue and strain specific. In addition, the strains react different to potential increased oxidative stress, resulting from the increase in mitochondrial gene expression. The results suggest that the cellular energy metabolism as part of a complex regulatory system is strongly affected by the productive life span in laying hens and thus partly comparable to model organisms. This study provides a starting point for further analyses in this field on non-model organisms, especially in laying-hens.
