Abstract

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα) regulates the expression of fatty acid (FA) oxidation genes in liver and heart. Although PPARα ligands increased FA oxidation in cultured cardiomyocytes, the cardiac effects of chronic PPARα ligand administration in vivo have not been studied. Diabetic db/db mouse hearts exhibit characteristics of a diabetic cardiomyopathy, with altered metabolism and reduced contractile function. A testable hypothesis is that chronic administration of a PPARα agonist to db/db mice will normalize cardiac metabolism and improve contractile function. Therefore, a PPARα ligand (BM 17.0744) was administered orally to control and type 2 diabetic (db/db) mice (37.9 ± 2.5 mg/(kg·d) for 8 weeks), and effects on cardiac metabolism and contractile function were assessed. BM 17.0744 reduced plasma glucose in db/db mice, but no change was observed in control mice. FA oxidation was significantly reduced in BM 17.0744 treated db/db hearts with a corresponding increase in glycolysis and glucose oxidation; glucose and FA oxidation in control hearts was unchanged by BM 17.0744. PPARα treatment did not alter expression of PPARα target genes in either control or diabetic hearts. Therefore, metabolic alterations in hearts from PPARα-treated diabetic mice most likely reflect indirect mechanisms related to improvement in diabetic status in vivo. Despite normalization of cardiac metabolism, PPARα treatment did not improve cardiac function in diabetic hearts.Key words: PPAR, cardiac metabolism and function, diabetes.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Treatment of db/db mice with PPAR-γ or PPAR-α agonists can improve cardiac metabolism, but do not necessarily restore cardiac function.

    “Similar studies in db/db mice revealed that treatment of these mice with PPAR-γ or PPAR-α agonists can improve cardiac metabolism, but do not necessarily restore cardiac function (1, 2, 36).”

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.
