Mitochondrial were prepared from fat-cells isolated from rat epididymal adipose tissues of
fed and 48 h-starved rats to study some aspects of fatty acid oxidation in this tissue. The data …

The addition of dl-carnitine to various types of particulate liver preparations resulted in
augmented oxidation of labeled palmitate and stearate. In contrast, carnitine exerted little if …

Energy metabolism was assessed in dilated (congestive) and hypertrophic myopathic hearts
from Syrian hamsters after isolated, working heart perfusion with palmitate and/or glucose as …

The effect of fasting for 8 days on the levels of carnitine acyltransferases in heart, liver, liver
mitochondria, skeletal muscle, skeletal muscle mitochondria, kidney, and testes in young …

The regulation of heart carnitine palmitoyltransferase was studied during the transition to the
fasting state. Using decanoyl-CoA or palmitoyl-CoA as substrates, we found no differences …

The Bio 14.6 hamster has a well-documented cardiomyopathy which leads to congestive
heart failure. Previous work demonstrated that hearts from these hamsters have depressed …

Branched-chain amino acids are preferentially oxidized in muscle, in contrast to other amino
acids, which are mainly oxidized in liver [1]. In muscular tissue carnitine concentration is …

The distribution of palmitoyl-CoA: carnitine palmitoyltransferase has been studied in
subcellular fractions of rat liver. By using two different estimations for the enzyme activity and …

In previous communications we have shown that mitochondria can catalyze a reversible
acetylation of carnitine (1) and that this reaction is catalyzed by an acetylcarnitine coenzyme …

The redox-mediated regulation of palmitoylcarnitine oxidation was studied in isolated rat
liver mitochondria in which the mitochondrial free NADH/NAD+ ratio was controlled by …
