The aim of this study was to determine the biochemical mechanism(s) responsible for enhanced FA utilization (oxidation and esterification) by perfused hearts from type 2 diabetic db/db mice. The plasma membrane content of fatty acid transporters FAT/CD36 and FABPpm was elevated in db/db hearts. Mitochondrial mechanisms that could contribute to elevated rates of FA oxidation were also examined. Carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1 activity was unchanged in mitochondria from db/db hearts, and sensitivity to inhibition by malonyl-CoA was unchanged. Malonyl-CoA content was elevated and AMP kinase activity was decreased in db/db hearts, opposite to what would be expected in hearts exhibiting elevated rates of FA oxidation. Uncoupling protein-3 expression was unchanged in mitochondria from db/db hearts. Therefore, enhanced FA utilization in db/db hearts is most likely due to increased FA uptake caused by increased plasma membrane content of FA transporters; the mitochondrial mechanisms examined do not contribute to elevated FA oxidation observed in db/db hearts.
