Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) may reduce mitochondrial ROS production, and thereby protect against mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle. UCP3 has been suggested to specifically fulfill this role under high-fat conditions. Here we show that UCP3 knockout mice indeed have elevated mitochondrial ROS production after short-term (8weeks) high-fat feeding. After 26weeks of high-fat feeding, UCP3 knockout mice exhibited reduced mitochondrial function as measured ex vivo in isolated mitochondria. In conclusion, these data suggest that UCP3 may have a role in the protection of mitochondria against lipid-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, but only after long-term exposure to high-fat.
