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
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
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 (
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.
