When 400 mg/rat/day of secondary autoxidation products of linoleic acid was orally administered 3 times to rats, they died at 30-40 h after the third dose. To search the markers of the toxicity of secondary products in vivo, the rats were killed at 24h after the third dose, and conditions of their digestive tracts and liver were analyzed. In the stomach, macroscopically, inflation, retention of undigested food, and edema were seen. Slight congestions were detected in the small intestines. It was considered that these injuries led to reduction in food consumption and then depression of the growth, but did not lead to the death of the animals. The lipid peroxide levels in the liver and the activities of its detoxifying enzymes were increased as compared to those in the control groups. The hepatic lipid contents and unsaturated fatty acid compositions were also not changed. The endogenous lipid peroxidation, therefore, did not give the rats a severe stress. The activities of hepatic acetyl-CoA carboxylase and carnitine palmitoyltransferase were 20 and 35% lower than those of control, respectively. The levels of CoASH, acetyl-CoA, and long-chain acyl-CoA were 1/9, 1/2, and 1/4 of those in control, respectively. Thus, one of the markers of the toxicity of secondary products was the depletion of hepatic CoA derivatives. In rat, bio-energy was reduced by the decrease in the intestinal absorption of nutrients, and the depletion of hepatic CoA derivatives also failed to supply energy with beta-oxidation.

9-Oxononanoic acid, which is one of the major products of the autoxidation of linoleic acid, was administered orally to rats and its effect on hepatic lipid metabolism was investigated. The de novo synthesis of fatty acids was strongly reduced 30 h after the administration of 100 mg of 9-oxononanoic acid as compared to that in the saline-administered group. Activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase decreased by 60% and the activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase increased by 35% in the test group. The level of triacylglycerols in serum was low and the level of free fatty acids remained unchanged. Thus, the administration of 9-oxononanoic acid decreased hepatic lipogenesis. It is generally believed that the reduction in lipogenesis is facilitated by a decrease in the NADPH level. The ratio of NADPH/NADP in the test group, however, became high as compared to that in the control group, and the activities of glucose 6-phosphate and isocitrate dehydrogenases increased. On the other hand, the levels of CoA derivatives, especially long-chain acyl-CoA, were higher in the test group than in the control. Therefore, the reduction of hepatic lipogenesis in the 9-oxononanoic acid group could be attributed to the inhibition of acetyl-CoA carboxylase by the accumulated long-chain acyl-CoA.

The effects of the ingestion of a meal on the partitioning of hepatic fatty acids between oxidation and esterification were studied in vivo for meal-fed rats. The time course for the reversal of the starved state was extremely rapid and the process was complete within 2 h, in marked contrast with the reversal of the effects of starvation in rats fed ad libitum [A. M. B. Moir and V. A. Zammit (1993) Biochem. J. 289, 49-55]. This rapid reversal occurred in spite of the fact that, in the liver of the meal-fed animals before feeding, a similar degree of partitioning of fatty acids in favour of oxidation was observed as in 24 h-starved rats (previously fed ad libitum). This suggested that the lower degree of ketonaemia observed in meal-fed rats before a meal is not due to the inability of acylcarnitine formation to compete successfully with esterification of fatty acids to the glycerol moiety. Investigation of the possible mechanisms that could contribute towards the rapid switching-off of fatty acid oxidation revealed that this was correlated with a very rapid rise and overshoot in hepatic malonyl-CoA concentration, but not with any change in the activity, or sensitivity to malonyl-CoA, of the mitochondrial overt carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT I). The role of these two parameters in the reversal of fasting-induced hepatic fatty acid oxidation was thus the inverse of that observed previously for refed 24 h-starved rats. The rapid increase in [malonyl-CoA] was accompanied by an immediate and complete reversion of the kinetic characteristics (Ka for citrate, expressed/total activity ratio) of acetyl-CoA carboxylase to those found in the post-meal animals, again in contrast with the time course observed in refed 24 h-starved rats [A. M. B. Moir and V. A. Zammit (1990) Biochem. J. 272, 511-517]. The rapidity with which these changes occurred was specific to the partitioning of acyl-CoA; the meal-induced diversion of glycerolipids towards phospholipid synthesis and the acute inhibition of the fractional rate of triacylglycerol secretion occurred with very similar time courses to those observed upon refeeding of 24 h-starved rats. The results confirm the central role played by differences in the dynamics of changes in hepatic malonyl-CoA concentration, and CPT I sensitivity to it, in determining the route through which ingested glucose is converted into hepatic glycogen upon refeeding of starved rats which had previously been meal-fed or fed ad libitum.

We examined changes in the enzyme activities and metabolites related to hepatic fatty acid synthesis in fasted rats with sepsis produced by cecal ligation and puncture. Sepsis stimulated the in vivo incorporation of tritiated water into hepatic fatty acids and nonsaponifiable lipids. The activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, ATP-citrate lyase, and NADPH-generating enzymes (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme), the tissue levels of citrate and malonyl-CoA, and the dephosphorylation of carboxylase were increased in the livers of fasted septic rats compared with fasted sham-operated control rats. These results indicate that sepsis stimulated hepatic lipogenesis and sterologenesis in fasting rats. Furthermore, sepsis reduced the specific activity of hepatic mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase and raised that of glycerophosphate acyltransferase, suggesting an increased diversion of cytosolic acyl-CoA towards esterification. These intrahepatic metabolic changes strongly suggest that sepsis causes anabolic action on hepatic lipid metabolism.

Proglycosyn (LY177507) belongs to a series of powerful agents that stabilize liver glycogen stores by promoting glycogen synthesis from different precursors and inhibiting glycogenolysis and glycolysis. In the present study we have examined the effects of proglycosyn on fatty acid metabolism in isolated hepatocytes. Preincubation of hepatocytes with medium containing proglycosyn led to a marked inhibition of fatty acid synthesis de novo and acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity without affecting fatty acid synthase. Likewise, proglycosyn depressed the synthesis of triacylglycerols and phospholipids from labeled palmitate. Although octanoate oxidation was unaffected by proglycosyn, mitochondrial palmitate oxidation was notably stimulated. This effect may be attributed to the proglycosyn-induced decrease of intracellular malonyl-CoA levels relative to control incubations and the concomitant relieve of the inhibition of the mitochondrial-outer-membrane carnitine palmitoyl-transferase by malonyl-CoA. By contrast, neither peroxisomal palmitate oxidation nor peroxisomal carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity was changed upon hepatocyte incubation with proglycosyn. Results thus indicate that proglycosyn increases the fatty-acid-oxidation efficiency of the liver at the expense of lipogenesis, and this may contribute to the proglycosyn-induced sparing of liver glycogen stores.

1. Viable myocytes were obtained from rat hearts. Oxidation of [1-14C]palmitate by these cells could be decreased by the addition of glucose (5 mM) or lactate (2 mM). In the presence of glucose, insulin decreased and adrenaline increased palmitate oxidation. 2. The myocytes contained activities of ATP citrate-lyase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase and the condensing enzyme of the fatty acid elongation system. No fatty acid synthase activity was demonstrable in myocytes. 3. In rat hearts perfused with 5 mM glucose, malonyl-CoA content was acutely raised by insulin. In the presence of glucose+insulin, perfusion with palmitate or adrenaline decreased the malonyl-CoA content. 4. It is concluded that malonyl-CoA can be synthesized within cardiac myocytes and that the level of this metabolite can be acutely regulated. This is likely to have consequences for the regulation of carnitine palmitoyltransferase in the heart.

Administration of tetradecylthioacetic acid (a 3-thia fatty acid) increases mitochondrial and peroxisomal beta-oxidative capacity and carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity, but reduces free fatty acid and triacylglycerol levels in plasma compared to palmitic acid-treated rats and controls. The decrease in plasma triacylglycerol was accompanied by a reduction (56%) in VLDL-triacylglycerol. Prolonged supplementation of tetradecylthioacetic acid caused a significant increase in lipogenic enzyme activities (ATP-citrate lyase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase) and diacylglycerol acyltansferase, but did not affect phosphatidate phosphohydrolase. Plasma cholesterol, LDL- and HDL-cholesterol levels were reduced. 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase activity was, however, stimulated in 3-thia fatty acid-treated rats compared to controls. In addition. the mRNAs of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase and LDL-receptor were increased. Tetradecylthioacetic acid administration affected the fatty acid composition in plasma and liver by increasing the amount of monoenes, especially 18:1(n-9), mostly at the expense of omega-3 fatty acids. Compared to liver a large amount of tetradecylthioacetic acid accumulated in the heart, and this accumulation was accompanied by an increase in omega-3 fatty acids, particularly 22:6(n-3) and a decrease in omega-6 fatty acids, mainly 20:4(n-6). The results show that the hypolipidemic effect of tetradecylthioacetic acid is sustained after prolonged administration and may, at least in part, be due to increased fatty acid oxidation and upregulated LDL-receptor gene expression. The increase in lipogenic enzyme activities as well as increased 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase activity, may be compensatory mechanisms to maintain cellular integrity. Decreased level of 20:4(n-6) combined with increased omega-3/omega-6 ratio in cardiac tissue after tetradecylthioacetic acid treatment may have influence on membrane dynamics and function.

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.

The present work was performed to identify the subcellular localization of hepatic acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). Cellular organelles involved in fatty acid oxidation that contain a malonyl-CoA sensitive carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) activity or that are linked to the control of this activity were analysed for the presence of ACC. No significant amount of ACC was observed in the mitochondrial fraction prepared from isolated rat hepatocytes. Furthermore, no association of ACC activity and mass with isolated hepatic peroxisomes could be detected. Incubation of isolated hepatocytes with compounds known to affect the integrity of the cytoskeleton like okadaic acid or taxol indicates that ACC is associated with this subcellular structure of the hepatocyte. Such association may allow for efficient regulation of CPT activity and thus of fatty acid oxidation.

1. Rat soleus strips were incubated with 5 mM glucose, after which tissue metabolites were measured. Alternatively, muscle strips were incubated with 5 mM glucose and 0.2 mM palmitate, and the formation of 14CO2 from exogenous palmitate or from fatty acids released from prelabelled glycerolipids was measured. 2. Etomoxir, which inhibits the mitochondrial overt form of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT1), increased the tissue content of long-chain fatty acyl-CoA esters and decreased the ratio of fatty acylcarnitine to fatty acyl-CoA, suggesting that such changes could be a diagnostic for the inhibition of CPT1 3. Over a range of incubation conditions there was a positive correlation between the tissue contents of malonyl-CoA and long-chain fatty acyl-CoA esters. Under conditions in which these two metabolites increased in content (i.e. with insulin or with 3 mM dichloroacetate) there was a corresponding decrease in the ratio of fatty acylcarnitine to fatty acyl-CoA and a decrease in beta-oxidation. Isoprenaline or palmitate (0.5 mM) opposed the effect of insulin, decreasing the contents of malonyl-CoA and long-chain fatty acyl-CoA, increasing the ratio of fatty acylcarnitine to fatty acyl-CoA and increasing beta-oxidation. These findings are consistent with the notion that all of these agents can cause the acute regulation of CPT1 in Type I skeletal muscle. 4. The addition of 5-amino-4-imidazolecarboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAriboside) to cause activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase decreased the tissue content of malonyl-CoA. AICAriboside also had an antilipolytic effect in the muscle strips. 5. Measurements were made of the activities of ATP-citrate lyase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, fatty acid synthase and malonyl-CoA decarboxylase in soleus muscle and in representative Type IIa and Type IIb muscles. A cytosolic activity of malonyl-CoA decarboxylase would seem to offer a feasible route for the disposal of malonyl-CoA in skeletal muscle.
