| Popis: | To clarify the role of uncoupling protein-3 (UCP3) in skeletal muscle, we used NMR and isotopic labeling experiments to evaluate the effect of UCP3 knockout (UCP3KO) in mice on the regulation of energy metabolism in vivo. Whole body energy expenditure was determined from the turnover of doubly labeled body water. Coupling of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in skeletal muscle was evaluated from measurements of rates of ATP synthesis (using (31)P NMR magnetization transfer experiments) and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle flux (calculated from the time course of (13)C enrichment in C-4 and C-2 of glutamate during an infusion of [2-(13)C]acetate). At the whole body level, we observed no change in energy expenditure. However, at the cellular level, skeletal muscle UCP3KO increased the rate of ATP synthesis from P(i) more than 4-fold under fasting conditions (wild type, 2.2 +/- 0.6 versus knockout, 9.1 +/- 1.4 micromol/g of muscle/min, p0.001) with no change in TCA cycle flux rate (wild type, 0.74 +/- 0.04 versus knockout, 0.71 +/- 0.03 micromol/g of muscle/min). The increased efficiency of ATP production may account for the significant (p0.05) increase in the ratio of ATP to ADP in the muscle of UCP3KO mice (5.9 +/- 0.3) compared with controls (4.5 +/- 0.4). The data presented here provide the first evidence of uncoupling activity by UCP3 in skeletal muscle in vivo. |
