The purpose of this study was to discern cellular mechanisms that contribute to the suppression of lipid oxidation in the skeletal muscle of obese individuals. Muscle was obtained from obese [body mass index (BMI), 38.3 ± 3.1 kg/m2] and lean (BMI, 23.8 ± 0.9 kg/m2) women, and fatty acid oxidation was studied by measuring 14CO2 production from 14C-labeled fatty acids. Palmitate oxidation, which is at least partially dependent on carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1) activity, was depressed (P < 0.05) by approx 50% with obesity (6.8 ± 2.2 vs. 13.7 ± 1.4 nmole CO2 · g-1 · h-1). The CPT-1-independent event of palmitoyl carnitine oxidation was also depressed (P < 0.01) by approx 45%. There were significant negative relationships (P < 0.05) for adiposity with palmitate (r = -0.76) and palmitoyl carnitine (r = -0.82) oxidation. Muscle CPT-1 and citrate synthase activity, an index of mitochondrial content, were also significantly (P < 0.05) reduced (approx 35%) with obesity. CPT-1 (r = -0.48) and citrate synthase (r = -0.65) activities were significantly (P < 0.05) related to adiposity. These data suggest that lesions at CPT-1 and post-CPT-1 events, such as mitochondrial content, contribute to the reduced reliance on fat oxidation evident in human skeletal muscle with obesity.
