Diurnal variation of cytosolic fatty acid-binding protein content and of palmitate oxidation in rat liver and heart.

چکیده
Delipidated proteins from albumin-free liver and heart cytosol obtained from rats sacrificed at the mid-dark or the mid-light phase of the light cycle were assayed for their palmitate-binding capacity. In both tissues a marked variation of this binding capacity was observed from about 3-4 nmol/mg of protein in the mid-light phase of the cycle to about 7-8 nmol/mg of protein in the mid-dark phase. Sephadex G-75 chromatography of the cytosolic proteins revealed that the palmitate binding could in all cases almost entirely be attributed to proteins of Mr = 12,000-14,000, suggesting that the observed diurnal variations are related to differences in the content of fatty acid-binding protein (FABP). In both rat liver and heart FABP represents about 4 (mid-light) to 8% (mid-dark) of the total soluble proteins. Cholestyramine feeding increased the FABP content of liver cytosol from rats sacrificed at the mid-light phase, but not in those sacrificed at the mid-dark phase, in such a way that the diurnal variation of the FABP content virtually disappeared. The palmitate oxidation capacity and citrate synthase activity also exhibited a concomitant diurnal periodicity in rat liver and, to a lesser extent, in rat heart. The results provide additional evidence for an important role of FABP in cellular fatty acid metabolism in both liver and heart and for the similarity of FABP with sterol carrier protein.

No correlation between changes in fatty acid-binding protein content and fatty acid oxidation capacity of rat tissues in experimental diabetes.
Fatty acid-binding protein is considered to play an important role in fatty acid oxidation. Since diabetes mellitus causes marked changes of this latter metabolic process, we compared the effect of this pathological condition on both parameters in a comparative investigation of different rat tissues. Palmitate oxidation capacity and content of fatty acid-binding protein were determined in liver...
متن کاملEffects of feed restriction and dietary fat type on mRNA expression of liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) in broilers
Background: Liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) is the main cytosolic binding site for long chain fatty acids in hepatocytes. FABPs enhance the uptake of fatty acids into the cell by increasing their concentration due to decreasing concentration of unbound fatty acids inside the cell. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary unsaturated to saturated fatty a...
متن کاملProtein-mediated palmitate uptake and expression of fatty acid transport proteins in heart giant vesicles.
Giant sarcolemmal vesicles were isolated from rat heart and hindlimb muscles for a) characterization of long-chain fatty acid transport in the absence of metabolism and b) comparison of fatty acid transport protein expression with fatty acid transport. Giant vesicles contained cytosolic fatty acid binding protein. Palmitate uptake was completely divorced from its metabolism. All palmitate taken...
متن کاملAcute liver carnitine palmitoyltransferase I overexpression recapitulates reduced palmitate oxidation of cardiac hypertrophy.
RATIONALE Muscle carnitine palmitoyltransferase I is predominant in the heart, but the liver isoform (liver carnitine palmitoyltransferase I [L-CPT1]) is elevated in hearts with low long chain fatty acid oxidation, such as fetal and hypertrophied hearts. OBJECTIVE This work examined the effect of acute L-CPT1 expression on the regulation of palmitate oxidation and energy metabolism in intact ...
متن کاملFatty acid binding protein facilitates sarcolemmal fatty acid transport but not mitochondrial oxidation in rat and human skeletal muscle.
The transport of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) across mitochondrial membranes is regulated by carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPTI) activity. However, it appears that additional fatty acid transport proteins, such as fatty acid translocase (FAT)/CD36, influence not only LCFA transport across the plasma membrane, but also LCFA transport into mitochondria. Plasma membrane-associated fatty acid...
