Liver and Muscle Contribute Differently to the Plasma Acylcarnitine Pool During Fasting and Exercise in Humans

Abstract: These data provide novel insight to the organo-specific release/uptake of acylcarnitines. The liver is a major contributor to systemic short chain acylcarnitines, whereas the muscle tissue releases mostly medium chain acylcarnitines during exercise, indicating that other tissues are contributing to the systemic increase in long chain acylcarnitines.

“…52,53 Fasting has been shown to increase the release of acetylcarnitine from the hepatosplanchnic bed, whereas the release of other acylcarnitines, except propionylcarnitine, is minor. 54 Therefore, we hypothesize that the rise in plasma acetylcarnitine levels following fenofibrate treatment reflects increased hepatic export, which, in turn, could be due to a hepatic surplus of 2-carbon molecules.…”

“…Skeletal muscle is considered the main contributor to systemic ACs concentrations. However, other organs/ tissues, such as the liver and heart, may also contribute to the circulating levels of ACs (Xu et al 2016). Although no significant correlation between plasma ACs and their tissue counterparts has been found in mice, the liver has been shown to be the major contributor to plasma longchain ACs (Schooneman et al 2015).…”

“…Serum ACC undergo time-related changes in dairy cows during the transition from late pregnancy to early lactation (Kenéz et al, 2016) and differ between cows experiencing excessive versus low lipolysis, as classified via the serum FA concentrations postpartum (Humer et al, 2016). The plasma ACC profile may reflect the intramitochondrial acyl-CoA pattern; however, it is not clear to what extent circulating levels of ACC reflect tissue ACC metabolism, as plasma ACC represent the sum from different tissues, mainly skeletal muscle and liver (Schooneman et al, 2014;Xu et al, 2016).…”
