چکیده

The nonspecific transaminase inhibitor aminooxyacetate (AOA) has multiple influences on the dynamics of13C appearance in glutamate in rat hearts as measured by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) without altering O2 consumption or tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle flux. These include the following: 1) a reduced rate of13C enrichment at glutamate C3 and C4; 2) a near coalescence of the C3 and C4 fractional enrichment curves; 3) a dramatic alteration in the time-dependent evolution of the glutamate C4 multiplets, C4S and C4D34; and 4) a decrease in the NMR visibility of glutamate. A fit of the13C fractional enrichment curves of glutamate C4 and C3 in the absence of inhibitor to a kinetic model of the TCA cycle gave values for transaminase flux of 7.5 μmol ⋅ min-1 ⋅ g dry wt-1 and TCA cycle flux of 7.5 μmol ⋅ min-1 ⋅ g dry wt-1, thereby confirming reports by others that the kinetics of13C enrichment of glutamate C3 and C4 in heart tissue is significantly affected by flux through reactions other than TCA cycle. The 13C fractional enrichment data collected in the presence of 0.5 mM AOA could not be fitted using this same kinetic model. However, kinetic simulations demonstrated that the time-dependent changes in C4S and C4D34 are only consistent with a 10-fold reduction in the size of intermediate pools undergoing rapid turnover in the TCA cycle. We conclude that inhibition of glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase by AOA effectively reduces the size of the α-ketoglutarate pool in rapid exchange with the TCA cycle. Our data indicate that changes in glutamate multiplet areas in the13C NMR spectra of heart (as demonstrated by glutamate C4S and C4D34) are more sensitive to alterations in metabolic pool sizes in exchange with the TCA cycle than are measurements of 13C fractional enrichment at glutamate C3 and C4.

Indexing tricarboxylic acid cycle flux in intact hearts by carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance.

Although the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is the prime means of carbon metabolism for energy generation in normal myocardium, the noninvasive quantification of TCA cycle flux in intact cardiac tissues is difficult. A novel approach for estimating citric acid cycle flux using 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is presented and evaluated experimentally by comparison with measured myocardial o...

Differential modulation of glucose, lactate, and pyruvate oxidation by insulin and dichloroacetate in the rat heart.

Despite the fact that lactate and pyruvate are potential substrates for energy production in vivo, our understanding of the control and regulation of carbohydrate metabolism is based principally on studies where glucose is the only available carbohydrate. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the contributions of lactate, pyruvate, and glucose to energy production in the isolate...

Metabolic Flux , Transport Activity , and Subcellular Communication in Intact Hearts from Dynamic 13 C NMR

The control of oxidative metabolism was studied using carbon-13 (13C) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to determine the ratelimiting steps in 13C labeling of glutamate. 13 C NMR spectra were acquired from isolated rabbit hearts perfused with either 2.5 mM [213C] acetate or 2.5 mM [213 C] butyrate, and with or without KCl arrest. The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle flux and the inter...

Tricarboxylic acid cycle activity in postischemic rat hearts.

BACKGROUND Although myocardial oxidative tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity and contractile function are closely linked in normal cardiac muscle, their relation during postischemic reperfusion, when contractility often is reduced, is not well defined. METHODS AND RESULTS To test the hypothesis that oxidative TCA cycle flux is reduced in reperfused myocardium with persistent contractile d...

Compartmentalised energy metabolism supporting glutamatergic neurotransmission in response to increased activity in the rat cerebral cortex: A 13C MRS study in vivo at 14.1 T.

Many tissues exhibit metabolic compartmentation. In the brain, while there is no doubt on the importance of functional compartmentation between neurons and glial cells, there is still debate on the specific regulation of pathways of energy metabolism at different activity levels. Using (13)C magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in vivo, we determined fluxes of energy metabolism in the rat cort...
