The present study evaluated the effects of exercise training on pyruvate carboxylase protein (PCB) levels in hepatic tissue and glucose homeostasis control in obese mice. Swiss mice were distributed into three groups: control mice (CTL), fed a standard rodent chow; diet-induced obesity (DIO), fed an
Independently, metformin (MET) and the prebiotic, oligofructose (OFS), have been shown to increase glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) secretion. Our objective was to determine whether using OFS as an adjunct with MET augments GLP-1 secretion in obese rats. Male, diet-induced obese Sprague Dawley rats
The total cytosol activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (acetyl-CoA:CO(2) ligase (ADP), EC 6.4.1.2) in the liver is known to be 6- to 10-fold higher in genetically obese hyperglycemic mice (C57BL/6J-ob) than in nonobese mice. The results of immunochemical titrations, Ouchterlony double-diffusion
In earlier reports, we have described a previously unrecognized mechanism which regulates the activity of acetyl CoA carboxylase in rat liver by the control of its distribution between relatively inactive mitochondrial and active cytosolic forms. In this study, the activity, total quantity and the
A high rate of lipogenesis in obese mice plays a major role in their excessive deposition of body lipid. Inhibition of lipogenesis may decrease their obesity. Therefore, we have investigated the effects of sodium 2-n-pentadecyl-benzimidazole-5-carboxylate (M & B 35347B), an inhibitor of acetyl-CoA
Inhibition of acetyl-CoA carboxylases has the potential for modulating long chain fatty acid biosynthesis and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. Hybridization of weak inhibitors of ACC2 provided a novel, moderately potent but lipophilic series. Optimization led to compounds 33 and 37, which exhibit
BACKGROUND
Acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACC) 1 and 2 are central enzymes in lipid metabolism. To further investigate their relevance for the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes, expression of both ACC isoforms was analyzed in obese fa/fa Zucker fatty and Zucker diabetic fatty rats at different
Immunoblotting and protein microsequencing were used to identify several adipocyte proteins expressed in an obesity-related fashion in the Zucker rat. One of these was a 116-kDa particulate protein (p116). The p116 levels in adipocytes from 5- to 7-wk-old obese Zucker rats were two- to fivefold
OBJECTIVE
A relationship between free fatty acids, intramuscular triglycerides (TG(M)s), and insulin resistance is widely accepted. The intracellular level of malonyl-coenzyme A (CoA) was suggested to be the possible link. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is a key enzyme in fatty acid metabolism,
Maternal metabolic and nutrient trafficking adaptations to lactation differ among lean and obese mice fed a high fat (HF) diet. Obesity is thought to impair milk lipid production, in part, by decreasing trafficking of dietary and de novo synthesized lipids to the mammary gland. Here, we report that
A previous study on the gene structure of rat pyruvate carboxylase revealed that two tissue-specific promoters are responsible for the production of multiple transcripts with 5'-end heterogeneity (Jitrapakdee, S., Booker, G. W., Cassady, A. I., and Wallace, J. C. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272,
Malonyl-CoA, generated by acetyl-CoA carboxylases ACC1 and ACC2, is a key metabolite in the control of fatty acid synthesis and oxidation in response to dietary changes. ACC2 is associated to the mitochondria, and Acc2-/- mice have a normal lifespan and higher fatty acid oxidation rate and
Acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC) is a critical regulator of fatty acid metabolism and represents a promising therapeutic target for metabolic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Recently, a novel ACC inhibitor, PP-7a, was developed by our group by
NDI-010976, an allosteric inhibitor of acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylases (ACC) ACC1 and ACC2, reduces hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and favorably affects steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in animal models of fatty liver disease. This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled,
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is a key enzyme of fatty acid metabolism with multiple isozymes often expressed in different eukaryotic cellular compartments. ACC-made malonyl-CoA serves as a precursor for fatty acids; it also regulates fatty acid oxidation and feeding behavior in animals. ACC provides
