The regulation of acyl-CoA dehydrogenases in adipose tissue by rosiglitazone.

Abstract

The acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (ACADs), which catalyze the rate-limiting step in the mitochondrial beta-oxidation spiral, were investigated in white adipose tissue (WAT) of C57Bl/6 mice treated with 10 mg/kg/day rosiglitazone. Rosiglitazone was also administered to PPAR-alpha knockout mice. ACAD abundance and activity were determined using western blotting and an ACAD enzyme activity assay. Rosiglitazone increased ACAD activity in both epididymal and inguinal WAT but not in brown adipose tissue, liver, or muscle. Given the known function of PPAR-alpha in regulating the expression of ACAD genes in liver, it was hypothesized that PPAR-alpha may be involved in upregulating the ACADs during rosiglitazone-mediated adipose tissue remodeling. However, the effect of rosiglitazone on adipose tissue ACAD activity was the same in wild-type and PPAR-alpha knockout mice. In conclusion, rosiglitazone increases expression and activity of ACAD enzymes in WAT independently of PPAR-alpha.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
