چکیده

Fatty acid oxidation by washed intact ejaculated bull spermatozoa was depressed by carnitine concentrations as low as 5 mM, whereas oxygen uptake was only depressed by concentrations of 20 mM or above. Incorporation of (U-14C)-palmitate into 1,2-diglycerides was stimulated, and there was some stimulation of incorporation into phospholipids.

Stimulation of non-oxidative glucose utilization by L-carnitine in isolated myocytes.

The effects of L-carnitine on 14CO2 release from [1-14C]pyruvate oxidation (an index of pyruvate dehydrogenase activity, PDH), [2-14C]pyruvate, and [6-14C]glucose oxidation (indices of the acetyl-CoA flux through citric acid cycle), and [U-14C]glucose (an index of both PDH activity and the flux of acetyl-CoA through the citric acid cycle), were studied using isolated rat cardiac myocytes. L-car...

Control of fatty acid metabolism in ischemic and hypoxic hearts.

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, a...

The effect of antioxidant supplementation in semen extenders on semen quality and lipid peroxidation of chilled bull spermatozoa

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the antioxidants superoxide dismutase (SOD),glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) on microscopic semen parameters andlipid peroxidation following the freeze-thawing of bull semen. Ejaculates were collected from five Holsteinbulls and pooled at 37°C. The semen samples were diluted with a CEY extender containing addit...

Carnitine stimulation of glucose oxidation in the fatty acid perfused isolated working rat heart.

The effects of L-carnitine on myocardial glycolysis, glucose oxidation, and palmitate oxidation were determined in isolated working rat hearts. Hearts were perfused under aerobic conditions with perfusate containing either 11 mM [2-3H/U-14C]glucose in the presence or absence of 1.2 mM palmitate or 11 mM glucose and 1.2 mM [1-14C]palmitate. Myocardial carnitine levels were elevated by perfusing ...
