Biochemical Competition Makes Fatty-Acid β-Oxidation Vulnerable to Substrate Overload
Fatty-acid metabolism plays a key role in acquired and inborn metabolic diseases. To obtain insight into the network dynamics of fatty-acid β-oxidation, we constructed a detailed computational model of the pathway and subjected it to a fat overload condition. The model contains reversible and saturable enzyme-kinetic equations and experimentally determined parameters for rat-liver enzymes. It w...
متن کاملMetabolism of Neoplastia Tissue XIII. Substrate Competition in Fatty Acid Oxidation in Ascites Tumor Cells* GRACEMEDESANDSIDNEYWEINHOUSE
The present study represents part of an in vestigation of the nature of the respiratory sub strates of tumors. It has been established that tu mors, like normal tissues, have the enzymatic equipment for the oxidation of both fatty acids and glucose, and isotope tracer studies have shown that both these processes occur in intact tumor cells (5, 8, 10, 17, 18). However, relatively little informat...
متن کاملRegulation of myocardial fatty acid oxidation by substrate supply.
We tested the hypothesis that myocardial substrate supply regulates fatty acid oxidation independent of changes in acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activities. Fatty acid oxidation was measured in isolated working rat hearts exposed to different concentrations of exogenous long-chain (0.4 or 1.2 mM palmitate) or medium-chain (0.6 or 2.4 mM octanoate) fatty...
متن کاملLipids in leaves: fatty acid β-oxidation affects lipid homeostasis.
DNA, RNA, and proteins get a lot of attention, but without lipids, a cell is just a soup. Cellular membranes have a remarkable variety of lipids, and different organelles have different lipid compositions that must be maintained despite changes caused by vesicular trafficking among organelles (reviewed in Holthuis and Menon, 2014). Lipids move via vesicular trafficking, direct membrane contact ...
متن کاملMitochondrial overload and incomplete fatty acid oxidation contribute to skeletal muscle insulin resistance.
Previous studies have suggested that insulin resistance develops secondary to diminished fat oxidation and resultant accumulation of cytosolic lipid molecules that impair insulin signaling. Contrary to this model, the present study used targeted metabolomics to find that obesity-related insulin resistance in skeletal muscle is characterized by excessive beta-oxidation, impaired switching to car...
