Abstract
Cholecalciferol improves insulin signaling and glucose metabolism in the heart and reduces circulating non-esterified fatty acids. Cholecalciferol effects on the cardiac fatty acid (FA) metabolism and the consequences on calcium handling were examined. Blood lipid profile was determined. Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to examine protein and mRNA expression. Cholecalciferoltreated rats had increased acetyl CoA carboxylase 2 protein expression and decreased expression of malonyl CoA decarboxylase. In addition, the expression of uncoupling protein 3 was elevated. Also, the level of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator in the nucleus of heart cells was increased along with the level of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ATPase in the microsomal fraction. In parallel, the L-type calcium channel and ryanodine receptor expression was reduced. In the heart of healthy rats, cholecalciferol affects proteins regulating malonyl CoA availability and intracellular Ca2+ handling proteins.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
