In the human heart, although all substrates compete for energy production, fatty acids (FA) represent the main substrate for ATP production. In the healthy heart, a balance between FA and carbohydrate utilization ensures that energy supply matches demand. This study was carried out to evaluate, in a model of spontaneously beating neonatal rat cardiomyocytes in culture, the hypothesis that glycerol could play a central role in the metabolic control of the routes involving long chain FAs and may then affect the balance between beta-oxidation and glucose oxidation. The intracellular-free glycerol significantly increased with extracellular glycerol concentration (0 to 660 microM). The synthesis of phospholipids was significantly increased in parallel with both extracellular glycerol (1.5 and 14.8 nmol glycerol/mg protein, at 82 and 660 microM of extracellular glycerol, respectively). The oxidation of glycerol increased proportionally to extracellular glycerol concentration (from 1 to 3 nmol glycerol/mg protein, at 82 microM and 660 microM extracellular glycerol, respectively, P<0.001). At its maximum, this oxidation represented 15% of the glucose oxidation, which was not affected by glycerol extracellular supply or intracellular availability. Conversely, extracellular glycerol significantly reduced the palmitate oxidation above (-47% at 660 microM glycerol), but not octanoate oxidation. Investigations on the mechanism of the decreased palmitate oxidation reveals a glycerol-dependent increase in malonyl-CoA associated with a significant decrease in CPT-1 activity which accounts for the difference between palmitate and octanoate. These results clearly demonstrate the importance of glycerol in regulating the cardiac metabolic pathways and energy balance. 相似文献

Stimulation of VLDL production by increasing fatty acid availability is now well established. However, a possible regulatory role of glycerol, another lipid precursor, in VLDL synthesis by the liver has not yet been substaniated. The present experiments investigate this problem using the isolated perfused rat liver. [14C] Glycerol uptake and metabolism were studied at two different glycerol concentrations: 1 mumol/perfusate (control) or 1.6 mmol/perfusate. VLDL production and lipid synthesis were investigated using [14C]leucine and several labelled fatty acids as precursors in control and glycerol-overloaded livers. Neoglycogenesis and lipogenesis from glycerol carbons are negligible in our conditions. The absolute amount of glycerol, but not the precentage, taken up by the liver, increased after raising its concentration in the perfusate. A major part of exogenous (plasmatic) glycerol was esterified with endogenous (non plasmatic) fatty acids. Incorporation of radioactive fatty acids into liver or plasma lipids was lower than in the the control group. Significant differences were observed between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids used as lipid precursors. Production of VLDL as assessed by radioactive leucine and fatty acid incorporation in the VLDL of the perfusate was depressed by glycerol. Glycerol partly inhibits the normal stimulation of VLDL production by plasmatic fatty acid overload. 相似文献

Triacylglycerol (TAG) is an important product in oil-producing organisms. Biosynthesis of TAG can be completed through either esterification of fatty acids to glycerol backbone, or through esterification of 2-monoacylglycerol. This review will focus on the former pathway in which two precursors, fatty acid and glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), are required for TAG formation. Tremendous progress has been made about the enzymes or genes that regulate the biosynthetic pathway of TAG. However, much attention has been paid to the fatty acid provision and the esterification process, while the possible role of G3P is largely neglected. Glycerol is extensively studied on its usage as carbon source for value-added products, but the modification of glycerol metabolism, which is directly associated with G3P synthesis, is seldom recognized in lipid investigations. The relevance among glycerol metabolism, G3P synthesis and lipid production is described, and the role of G3P in glycerol metabolism and lipid production are discussed in detail with an emphasis on how G3P affects lipid production through the modulation of glycerol metabolism. Observations of lipid metabolic changes due to glycerol related disruption in mammals, plants, and microorganisms are introduced. Altering glycerol metabolism results in the changes of final lipid content. Possible regulatory mechanisms concerning the relationship between glycerol metabolism and lipid production are summarized. 相似文献

The heart balances uptake, metabolism and oxidation of fatty acids (FAs) to maintain ATP production, membrane biosynthesis and lipid signaling. Under conditions where FA uptake outpaces FA oxidation and FA sequestration as triacylglycerols in lipid droplets, toxic FA metabolites such as ceramides, diacylglycerols, long-chain acyl-CoAs, and acylcarnitines can accumulate in cardiomyocytes and cause cardiomyopathy. Moreover, studies using mutant mice have shown that dysregulation of enzymes involved in triacylglycerol, phospholipid, and sphingolipid metabolism in the heart can lead to the excess deposition of toxic lipid species that adversely affect cardiomyocyte function. This review summarizes our current understanding of lipid uptake, metabolism and signaling pathways that have been implicated in the development of lipotoxic cardiomyopathy under conditions including obesity, diabetes, aging, and myocardial ischemia–reperfusion.

Rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) is a small fish that accumulates glycerol at low winter seawater temperatures. In laboratory-held fish, glycerol concentration typically reaches 225 mM in plasma and in all cells. Glycerol uptake by the heart and red blood cells (RBCs) was assessed by tracking [(14)C(U)]glycerol into the acid-soluble pool. In fish acclimated to 9-10°C a decrease in perfusion/incubation temperature from 8 to 1°C resulted in a decrease in glycerol uptake with a Q(10) of 3.2 in heart and 2.4 in RBCs. Acclimation to ~1.5°C did not result in an adaptive enhancement of glycerol uptake as rates were unchanged in heart and RBCs. Glycerol uptake at 1°C was by passive diffusion in heart as evidenced by a linear relationship between glycerol uptake and extracellular glycerol concentration and a lack of inhibition by phloretin. In contrast, in RBCs, glycerol uptake with respect to glycerol concentration showed two linear relationships with a transition point around 50 mM extracellular glycerol. The slope of the second phase was much steeper and eliminated with the inclusion of phloretin. In RBCs from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), a related species that does not accumulate glycerol, glycerol uptake showed only a single linear curve and was not inhibited by phloretin. The data imply a strong facilitated component to glycerol uptake in rainbow smelt RBCs at high glycerol concentrations. We propose this is related to cyclic changes in RBC glycerol content involving a loss of glycerol at the gill and a reaccumulation during passage through the liver. 相似文献

Mitochondrial oxidation of fatty acids accounts for the majority of cardiac ATP production in the heart. Fatty acid utilization by cardiac mitochondria is controlled at the level of fatty acid uptake, lipid synthesis, mobilization and mitochondrial import and oxidation. Consequently defective mitochondrial function appears to be central to the development of heart failure. Cardiolipin is a key mitochondrial phospholipid required for the activity of the electron transport chain. In heart failure, loss of cardiolipin and tetralinoleoylcardiolipin helps to fuel the generation of excessive reactive oxygen species that are a by-product of inefficient mitochondrial electron transport chain complexes I and III. In this vicious cycle, reactive oxygen species generate lipid peroxides and may, in turn, cause oxidation of cardiolipin catalyzed by cytochrome c leading to cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Hence, preservation of cardiolipin and mitochondrial function may be keys to the prevention of heart failure development. In this review, we summarize cardiac energy metabolism and the important role that fatty acid uptake and metabolism play in this process and how defects in these result in heart failure. We highlight the key role that cardiolipin and sirtuins play in cardiac mitochondrial β-oxidation. In addition, we review the potential of pharmacological modulation of cardiolipin through the polyphenolic molecule resveratrol as a sirtuin-activator in attenuating mitochondrial dysfunction. Finally, we provide novel experimental evidence that resveratrol treatment increases cardiolipin in isolated H9c2 cardiac myocytes and tetralinoleoylcardiolipin in the heart of the spontaneously hypertensive rat and hypothesize that this leads to improvement in mitochondrial function.

The high energy demands of the heart are met primarily by the mitochondrial oxidation of fatty acids and glucose. However, in heart failure there is a decrease in cardiac mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and glucose oxidation that can lead to an energy starved heart. Ketone bodies are readily oxidized by the heart, and can provide an additional source of energy for the failing heart. Ketone oxidation is increased in the failing heart, which may be an adaptive response to lessen the severity of heart failure. While ketone have been widely touted as a “thrifty fuel”, increasing ketone oxidation in the heart does not increase cardiac efficiency (cardiac work/oxygen consumed), but rather does provide an additional fuel source for the failing heart. Increasing ketone supply to the heart and increasing mitochondrial ketone oxidation increases mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle activity. In support of this, increasing circulating ketone by iv infusion of ketone bodies acutely improves heart function in heart failure patients. Chronically, treatment with sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors, which decreases the severity of heart failure, also increases ketone body supply to the heart. While ketogenic diets increase circulating ketone levels, minimal benefit on cardiac function in heart failure has been observed, possibly due to the fact that these dietary regimens also markedly increase circulating fatty acids. Recent studies, however, have suggested that administration of ketone ester cocktails may improve cardiac function in heart failure. Combined, emerging data suggests that increasing cardiac ketone oxidation may be a therapeutic strategy to treat heart failure. 相似文献

The heart is a unique organ that can use several fuels for energy production. During development, the heart undergoes changes in fuel supply, and it must be able to respond to these changes. We have examined changes in the expression of several genes that regulate fuel transport and metabolism in rat hearts during early development. At birth, there was increased expression of fatty acid transporters and enzymes of fatty acid metabolism that allow fatty acids to become the major source of energy for cardiac muscle during the first 2 wk of life. At the same time, expression of genes that control glucose transport and oxidation was downregulated. After 2 wk, expression of genes for glucose uptake and oxidation was increased, and expression of genes for fatty acid uptake and utilization was decreased. Expression of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) isoforms during development was different from published data obtained from rabbit hearts. CPT Ialpha and Ibeta isoforms were both highly expressed in hearts before birth, and both increased further at birth. Only after the second week did CPT Ialpha expression decrease appreciably below the level of CPT Ibeta expression. These results represent another example of different expression patterns of CPT I isoforms among various mammalian species. In rats, changes in gene expression followed nutrient availability during development and may render cardiac fatty acid oxidation less sensitive to factors that influence malonyl-CoA content (e.g., fluctuations in glucose concentration) and thereby favor fatty acid oxidation as an energy source for cardiomyocytes in early development. 相似文献

Triacylglyceride stored in cytosolic lipid droplets (LDs) constitutes a major energy reservoir in most eukaryotes. The regulated turnover of triacylglyceride in LDs provides fatty acids for mitochondrial β-oxidation and ATP generation in physiological states of high demand for energy. The mechanisms for the formation of LDs in conditions of energy excess are not entirely understood. Fat storage-inducing transmembrane protein 2 (FIT2/FITM2) is the anciently conserved member of the fat storage-inducing transmembrane family of proteins implicated to be important in the formation of LDs, but its role in energy metabolism has not been tested. Here, we report that expression of FIT2 in mouse skeletal muscle had profound effects on muscle energy metabolism. Mice with skeletal muscle-specific overexpression of FIT2 (CKF2) had significantly increased intramyocellular triacylglyceride and complete protection from high fat diet-induced weight gain due to increased energy expenditure. Mass spectrometry-based metabolite profiling suggested that CKF2 skeletal muscle had increased oxidation of branched chain amino acids but decreased oxidation of fatty acids. Glucose was primarily utilized in CKF2 muscle for synthesis of the glycerol backbone of triacylglyceride and not for glycogen production. CKF2 muscle was ATP-deficient and had activated AMP kinase. Together, these studies indicate that FIT2 expression in skeletal muscle plays an unexpected function in regulating muscle energy metabolism and indicates an important role for lipid droplet formation in this process. 相似文献

Summary Seven mutant strains defective for utilization of glycerol, glyceraldehyde or dihydroxyacetone were isolated. One strain was deficient for NAD-linked glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, two for glycerol kinase, and four had no detected enzymatic deficiency, although one of the latter strains was deficient in glycerol uptake. Glycerol uptake was increased by incubation in glycerol, glycerol-3-phosphate, erythritol, and propanediol, and was protein-mediated below 0.14 mM glycerol, but at higher concentrations free diffusion predominated. Glycerol uptake was decreased by cycloheximide and was more sensitive to sodium azide than to iodoacetate. 相似文献

The acylation of glycerol-3-phosphate by acyl-CoA is regarded as the first committed step for the synthesis of the lipoidal moiety in glycerolipids. The direct acylation of glycerol in mammalian tissues has not been demonstrated. In this study, lipid biosynthesis in myoblasts and hepatocytes was reassessed by conducting pulse-chase experiments with [1,3-(3)H]glycerol. The results demonstrated that a portion of labeled glycerol was directly acylated to form monoacylglycerol and, subsequently, diacylglycerol and triacylglycerol. The direct acylation of glycerol became more prominent when the glycerol-3-phosphate pathway was attenuated or when exogenous glycerol levels became elevated. Glycerol:acyl-CoA acyltransferase activity, which is responsible for the direct acylation of glycerol, was detected in the microsomal fraction of heart, liver, kidney, skeletal muscle, and brain tissues. The enzyme from pig heart microsomes displayed optimal activity at pH 6.0 and the preference for arachidonyl-CoA as the acyl donor. The apparent K(m) values for glycerol and arachidonyl-CoA were 1.1 mM and 0.17 mM, respectively. The present study demonstrates the existence of a novel lipid biosynthetic pathway that may be important during hyperglycerolemia produced in diabetes or other pathological conditions. 相似文献

The effects of whole heart ischemia on fatty acid metabolism were studied in the isolated, perfused rat heart. A reduction in coronary flow and oxygen consumption resulted in lower rates of palmitate uptake and oxidation to CO2. This decrease in metabolic rate was associated with increased tissue levels of long chain acyl coenzyme A and long chain acylcarnitine. Cellular levels of acetyl-CoA, acetylcarnitine, free CoA, and free carnitine decreased. These changes in CoA and its acyl derivatives indicate that beta oxidation became the limiting step in fatty acid metabolism. The rate of beta oxidation was probably limited by high levels of NADH and FADH2 secondary to a reduced supply of oxygen. Tissue levels of neutral lipids showed a slight increase durning ischemia, but incorporation of [U-14C]palmitate into lipid was not altered significantly. Although both substrates for lipid synthesis were present in higher concentrations during ischemia, compartmentalization of long chain acyl-CoA in the mitochondrial matrix and alpha-glycerol phosphate in the cytosol may have accounted for the relatively low rate of lipid synthesis. 相似文献

Glycerol can be oxidized by rat liver microsomes to formaldehyde in a reaction that requires the production of reactive oxygen intermediates. Studies with inhibitors, antibodies, and reconstituted systems with purified cytochrome P4502E1 were carried out to evaluate whether P450 was required for glycerol oxidation. A purified system containing phospholipid, NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, P4502E1, and NADPH oxidized glycerol to formaldehyde. Formaldehyde production was dependent on NADPH, reductase, and P450, but not phospholipid. Formaldehyde production was inhibited by substrates and ligands for P4502E1, as well as by anti-pyrazole P4502E1 IgG. The oxidation of glycerol by the reconstituted system was sensitive to catalase, desferrioxamine, and EDTA but not to superoxide dismutase or mannitol, indicating a role for H2O2 plus non-heme iron, but not superoxide or hydroxyl radical in the overall glycerol oxidation pathway. The requirement for reactive oxygen intermediates for glycerol oxidation is in contrast to the oxidation of typical substrates for P450. In microsomes from pyrazole-treated, but not phenobarbital-treated rats, glycerol oxidation was inhibited by anti-pyrazole P450 IgG, anti-hamster ethanol-induced P450 IgG, and monoclonal antibody to ethanol-induced P450, although to a lesser extent than inhibition of dimethylnitrosamine oxidation. Anti-rabbit P4503a IgG did not inhibit glycerol oxidation at concentrations that inhibited oxidation of dimethylnitrosamine. Inhibition of glycerol oxidation by antibodies and by aminotriazole and miconazole was closely associated with inhibition of H2O2 production. These results indicate that P450 is required for glycerol oxidation to formaldehyde; however, glycerol is not a direct substrate for oxidation to formaldehyde by P450 but is a substrate for an oxidant derived from interaction of iron with H2O2 generated by cytochrome P450. 相似文献

The overabundance of dietary fats and simple carbohydrates contributes significantly to obesity and metabolic disorders associated with obesity. The liver balances glucose and lipid distribution, and disruption of this balance plays a key role in these metabolic syndromes. We investigated (1) how hepatocytes balance glucose and fatty acid metabolism when one or both nutrients are supplied in abundance and (2) whether rat hepatoma cells (McA-RH7777) reflect nutrient partitioning in a similar manner as compared with primary hepatocytes. Increasing media palmitate concentration increased fatty acid uptake, triglyceride synthesis and beta-oxidation. However, hepatoma cells had a 2-fold higher fatty acid uptake and a 2-fold lower fatty acid oxidation as compared with primary hepatocytes. McA-RH7777 cells did not synthesize significant amounts of glycogen and preferentially metabolized the glucose into lipids or into oxidation. In primary hepatocytes, the glucose was mostly spared from oxidation and instead partitioned into both de novo glycogen and lipid synthesis. Overall, lipid production was rapidly induced in response to either glucose or fatty acid excess and this may be one of the earliest indicators of metabolic syndrome development associated with nutrient excess. 相似文献

Glycerol utilization for phospholipid biosynthesis was examined in type II pneumocytes isolated from normal and streptozocinin-diabetic rats. With glucose in the incubation medium, incorporation of exogenous [1,3-14C]glycerol into disaturated phosphatidylcholine, total phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) was increased 4-fold in cells from diabetic rats. In the absence of glucose, glycerol incorporation was 5-fold greater than in its presence in cells from normal animals, but was further increased 2.2-fold in cells from diabetic rats. Insulin treatment of diabetic rats returned all incorporation rates to control values. The increased glycerol incorporation rates were not due to differences in either phospholipid turnover or the size of the glycerol 3-phosphate precursor pool. Kinetic analysis of glycerol entry into the acid-soluble cell fraction indicated that glycerol transport occurred largely by simple diffusion, and was not rate limiting for its entry into lipids. Glycerol entry into the total lipid fraction was saturable, reaching a Vmax of 48 pmol/micrograms DNA per h in normal cells and 120 pmol/micrograms DNA per h in cells from diabetic rats, with no change in the Km (0.31 mM). While glycerol oxidation was reduced 23% in cells from diabetic rats in the presence of glucose and by 44% in the absence of glucose, glycerol kinase activity in sonicates of cells from diabetic animals was increased 210% and was reversed by in vivo insulin treatment. These results suggest that glycerol utilization in type II pneumocytes is a hormonally regulated function of both glycerol oxidation and glycerol phosphorylation. 相似文献

The availability of genetically modified mice requires the development of methods to assess heart function and metabolism in the intact beating organ. With the use of radioactive substrates and ex vivo perfusion of the mouse heart in the working mode, previous studies have documented glucose and fatty acid oxidation pathways. This study was aimed at characterizing the metabolism of other potentially important exogenous carbohydrate sources, namely, lactate and pyruvate. This was achieved by using (13)C-labeling methods. The mouse heart perfusion setup and buffer composition were optimized to reproduce conditions close to the in vivo milieu in terms of workload, cardiac functions, and substrate-hormone supply to the heart (11 mM glucose, 0.8 nM insulin, 50 microM carnitine, 1.5 mM lactate, 0.2 mM pyruvate, 5 nM epinephrine, 0.7 mM oleate, and 3% albumin). The use of three differentially (13)C-labeled carbohydrates and a (13)C-labeled long-chain fatty acid allowed the quantitative assessment of the metabolic origin and fate of tissue pyruvate as well as the relative contribution of substrates feeding acetyl-CoA (pyruvate and fatty acids) and oxaloacetate (pyruvate) for mitochondrial citrate synthesis. Beyond concurring with the notion that the mouse heart preferentially uses fatty acids for energy production (63.5 +/- 3.9%) and regulates its fuel selection according to the Randle cycle, our study reports for the first time in the mouse heart the following findings. First, exogenous lactate is the major carbohydrate contributing to pyruvate formation (42.0 +/- 2.3%). Second, lactate and pyruvate are constantly being taken up and released by the heart, supporting the concept of compartmentation of lactate and glucose metabolism. Finally, mitochondrial anaplerotic pyruvate carboxylation and citrate efflux represent 4.9 +/- 1.8 and 0.8 +/- 0.1%, respectively, of the citric acid cycle flux and are modulated by substrate supply. The described (13)C-labeling strategy combined with an experimental setup that enables continuous monitoring of physiological parameters offers a unique model to clarify the link between metabolic alterations, cardiac dysfunction, and disease development. 相似文献
