Popis: To investigate whether increasing tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity and ketogenic capacity would augment fatty acid (FA) oxidation induced by the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARα) agonist clofibrate, suckling newborn piglets (n = 54) were assigned to 8 groups following a 2 ( ± clofibrate) × 4 (glycerol succinate [SUC], triglycerides of 2-methylpentanoic acid [T2M], valeric acid [TC5] and hexanoic acid [TC6]) factorial design. Each group was fed an isocaloric milk formula containing either 0% or 0.35% clofibrate (wt/wt, dry matter basis) with 5% SUC, T2M, TC5 or TC6 for 5 d. Another 6 pigs served as newborn controls. Fatty acid oxidation was examined in fresh homogenates of liver collected on d 6 using [1-14C] palmitic acid (1 mM) as a substrate (0.265 μCi/μmol). Measurements were performed in the absence or presence of L-carnitine (1 mM) or inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase (L659699, 1.6 μM) or acetoacetate-CoA deacylase (iodoacetamide, 50 μM). Without clofibrate stimulation, 14C accumulation in CO2 was higher from piglets fed diets containing T2M and TC5 than SUC, but similar to those fed TC6. Under clofibrate stimulation, accumulation also was higher in homogenates from piglets fed TC5 than all other dietary treatments. Interactions between clofibrate and carnitine or the inhibitors were observed (P = 0.0004) for acid soluble products (ASP). In vitro addition of carnitine increased 14C-ASP (P
