Abstract

The mRNA expressions of UCP2 and UCP3, two newly described genes with high sequence homology to the uncoupling protein UCP1 in brown adipose tissue (BAT), were examined in two skeletal muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) as well as in interscapular BAT (IBAT) of the rat in response to food deprivation and controlled refeeding. In IBAT (a tissue highly dependent on lipids for thermogenesis), the pattern of mRNA expression of UCP2 and UCP3 closely follows that of UCP1: it was markedly down‐regulated during food deprivation (when this tissue's thermogenesis and lipid fuel requirements are decreased) and restored to control levels by day 5 of refeeding. By contrast, in the gastrocnemius muscle (a mixed fiber type muscle with a high capacity to shift between glucose and lipids as fuel substrate), mRNA expression of both UCP2 and UCP3 mRNA was found to be markedly up‐regulated during food deprivation (when this tissue's thermogenesis is also decreased but its lipid fuel utilization is increased). The expressions were subsequently found to be markedly down‐regulated upon transition to refeeding, with mRNA levels remaining below control levels on days 3, 5, and 10 of refeeding (period of enhanced efficiency of body fat deposition). In the soleus muscle (an oxidative type muscle with higher dependency on lipids than the gastrocnemius, and hence with a lower capacity to shift between lipids and glucose as fuel substrate), UCP homologues were also found to be up‐regulated during food deprivation, but changes in their mRNA expression contrast with those in the gastrocnemius muscle both in their much lower magnitude of response to food deprivation and in their more rapid restoration to control levels during refeeding. Up‐regulation of UCP2 and UCP3 gene expressions in skeletal muscle during food deprivation was found to persist at thermoneutrality (i.e., under conditions of reduced thermoregulatory thermogenesis). Together, these tissue‐dependent differential mRNA expressions of the UCP homologues in IBAT, gastrocnemius, and soleus muscles during food deprivation and refeeding are much more consistent with a role for UCP2 and UCP3 in the regulation of lipids as fuel substrate rather than as mediators of regulatory thermogenesis.—Samec, S., Seydoux, J., Dulloo, A.

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.
