A high fat diet increases mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and uncoupling to decrease efficiency in rat heart. by M.A, Cole, A.J, Murray, L.E, Cochlin, L.C, Heather, S., McAleese, N.S, Knight, E., Sutton, Abd. Jamil, Amira Hajirah, N., Parassol, K., Clarke

“…To determine whether cardiac mitochondrial uncoupling occurs in non-genetic obesity, we fed rats a high fat diet (55% kcal from fat) or standard laboratory chow (7% kcal from fat) for 3 weeks, after which we measured cardiac function in vivo using cine MRI, efficiency in isolated working hearts and respiration rates and ADP/O ratios in isolated interfibrillar mitochondria; also, measured were medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) and citrate synthase activities plus uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3), mitochondrial thioesterase 1 (MTE-1), adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) and ATP synthase protein levels. …”
