Bioblast alert 2024(01) - Fatty acid oxidation: 2024-02-08
Measuring fatty acid oxidation (FAO)-linked respiration requires a low concentration of malate
In the absence of malate, accumulation of Acetyl-CoA inhibits FAO.

"The capacity of FA oxidative phosphorylation (F-OXPHOS) with palmitoylcarnitine was up to 4 times higher than respiration with octanoylcarnitine. The optimal concentration of palmitoylcarnitine was 10 ΞΌM which corresponds to the total concentration of LC acylcarnitines in the brain."

"... several graphical representations of the electron transfer system depict FADH2 in the mitochondrial matrix as a substrate to be oxidized by CII. This leads to the false conclusion that FADH2 from the Ξ²-oxidation cycle in fatty acid oxidation feeds electrons into CII. In reality, dehydrogenases of fatty acid oxidation channel electrons to the Q-junction but not through CII."

"Clinically approved cardiovascular and diabetes drugs reduce LC acylcarnitine concentrations in vivo and it would be worth investigating whether these compounds could be repurposed."
