5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide
1-
-D-ribofuranoside
(AICAR) is taken up by perfused skeletal muscle and
phosphorylated to form
5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-
-D-ribofuraosyl-5'-monophosphate (analog of 5'-AMP) with consequent activation of AMP-activated protein kinase, phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, decrease in
malonyl-CoA, and increase in fatty acid oxidation. This
study was designed to determine the effect of increasing levels of
palmitate on the rate of fatty acid oxidation. Malonyl-CoA
concentration was manipulated with AICAR at different palmitate
concentrations. Rat hindlimbs were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit
bicarbonate containing 4% bovine serum albumin, washed bovine red
cells, 200 µU/ml insulin, 10 mM glucose, and different concentrations
of palmitate (0.1-1.0 mM) without or with AICAR (2.0 mM).
Perfusion with medium containing AICAR was found to activate
AMP-activated protein kinase in skeletal muscle, inactivate acetyl-CoA
carboxylase, and decrease malonyl-CoA at all concentrations of
palmitate. The rate of palmitate oxidation increased as a function of
palmitate concentration in both the presence and absence of AICAR but
was always higher in the presence of AICAR. These results provide
additional evidence that malonyl-CoA is an important regulator of the
rate of fatty acid oxidation at palmitate concentrations in the
physiological range.
