AB  - Context: Excessive fructose consumption causes ectopic lipid storage leading to metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases associated with defective substrate utilisation in the heart. Objective: Examining the preventive impact of low-intensity exercise on alterations related to fructose-rich diet (FRD) on cardiac fatty acid (FA) transport and metabolism. Materials and methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into control and two groups that received 10% fructose for 9 weeks, one of which was additionally exposed to exercise. Results: FRD elevated plasma and cardiac TAG, FATP1 in plasma membrane, Lipin 1 in microsomes and HSL mRNA, while mitochondrial CPT1 was decreased. Exercise decreased plasma free FA level, raised CD36 in plasma membrane and FATP1 in lysate, mitochondrial CPT1 and decreased microsomal Lipin 1 in fructose-fed rats. Conclusions: FRD changed plasma lipids and augmented partitioning of FA to TAG storage in the heart, whereas exercise in FRD rats switched metabolism of FA towards β-oxidation.

AB  - Background and Aim: Excessive fructose consumption along with a sedentary lifestyle provokes metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Fructose overload causes cardiac insulin resistance and increases reliance on fatty acid (FA) uptake and catabolism. The cardiometabolic benefits of exercise training have long been appreciated. The goal of the presented study is to shed a new light to the preventive role of exercise training on cardiac lipid metabolism in fructose-fed rats. Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into control (C), sedentary fructose (F), and exercised fructose (EF) groups. Fructose was given as a 10% fructose solution in drinking water for 9 weeks. Low-intensity exercise training was applied for 9 weeks. The protein expression and subcellular localization of Lipin1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γcoactivator 1 α (PGC1) were analyzed in the heart using Western blot. Cardiac forkhead box transcription factor 1 (FOXO1) and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) protein levels were also evaluated. Gene expression of long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase was analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results: Exercise training has augmented the expression of main regulators of FA oxidation in the heart and achieves its effect by increasing the nuclear content of PPARα, Lipin1, and FOXO1 compared with the fructose group (P = 0.0422, P = 0.000045, P = 0.00958, respectively). In addition, Lipin1, FOXO1, and SIRT1 were increased in nuclear extract after exercise compared with the control group (P = 0.000043, P = 0.0417, P = 0.0329, respectively). In cardiac lysate, low-intensity exercise caused significantly increased protein level of PPARα, PGC1, FOXO1, and SIRT1 compared with control (P = 0.0377, P = 0.0275, P = 0.0096, P = 0.0282, respectively) and PGC1 level compared with the fructose group (P = 0.0417). Conclusion: The obtained results imply that the heart with a metabolic burden additionally relies on FA as an energy substrate after low-intensity running. © Copyright 2023, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers 2023.

AB  - The transport of cations in the cardiomyocytes, crucial for the functioning of the heart, can be affected by walnut diet due to the high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Healthy and metabolically compromised rats (drinking 10% fructose solution) were subjected to a diet supplemented with 2.4 g of walnuts for 6 weeks to investigate the effect on proteins involved in cation transport in the heart cells. Fructose increased the level of the a1 subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase and the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 in the heart of control and walnut-eating rats, while elevated L-type calcium channel a (LTCCa), sodium–calcium exchanger 1 (NCX1), and Maxi Ka level were observed only in rats that did not consume walnuts. However, walnuts significantly increased the cardiac content of LTCC, NCX1, and Maxi Ka, as well as Kir6.1 and SUR2B subunits of KATP channel, but only in fructose-naive rats. In animals that drank fructose, a significant increasing effect of walnuts was observed only in Akt kinase phosphorylation, which may be a part of the antiarrhythmic mechanism of decreasing cation currents in cardiomyocytes. The walnut diet-induced increase in LTCC and NCX1 expression in healthy rats may indicate intense cardiac calcium turnover, whereas the effect on Kir6.1 and SUR2B subunits suggests stimulation of KATP channel transport in the cardiac vasculature. The effects of walnuts on the cation-handling proteins in the heart, mostly limited to healthy animals, suggest the possible use of a walnut-supplemented diet in the prevention rather than the treatment of cardiological channelopathies.

AB  - Background/Aim. A substantial line of evidence indicates that Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 channels are the major components of rapid transient-outward potassium currents (A-type cur-rents). It is speculated that those currents may be involved in the maintenance of the membrane potential, as well as in the regulation of propagation and frequency of action potentials. However, very little is known about the presence and function of A-type currents in human vascular smooth muscles such as the human umbilical vein (HUV). Bearing in mind its crucial role in the proper fetal oxygenation, the aim of the study was to determine whether Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 potassium channels are present in HUV smooth muscle and to investigate potential alterations of their expression during maternal pathological conditions such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). Methods. Healthy, diabetic, and hypertensive pregnancies were subjects of this investigation. Each group consisted of 6 HUV samples obtained from 6 normal pregnancies, 6 pregnancies with GDM, and 6 with PIH. After pharmacology analysis, immunohistochemistry (IH) and Western blot were performed. Results. IH revealed similar expression patterns of both, Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 subunits in HUV smooth muscle in all groups of patients. Results obtained by Western blot were in agreement with IH staining. The expression of Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 subunits were not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion. Collective-ly, this is the first study that demonstrated the presence of Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 potassium channels in the HUV smooth muscle and their preservation during GDM and PIH pregnancies. These channels are most likely major components of rapid A-type currents that may be relevant for maternal-fetus blood flow and hence fetal development. In addition, they may represent sensors for detecting hemodynamic and/or metabolic changes in the local environment.
AB  - Uvod/Cilj. Značajan niz dokaza ukazuje na to da su kanali Kv4.2 i Kv4.3 glavne komponente brzih prolazno- ispravljačkih struja kalijuma (struje tipa A). Pretpostavlja se da bi te struje mogle da budu uključene u održavanje membranskog potencijala ćelije, kao i u regulaciju propagacije i učestalosti akcionih potencijala. Međutim, vrlo malo se zna o prisustvu i funkciji struje tipa A u glatkim mišićima krvnih sudova čoveka, kao što je humana umbilikalna vena (HUV). S obzirom na njenu ključnu ulogu u adekvatnoj oksigenaciji fetusa, cilj rada bio je da se utvrdi da li su podtipovi kalijumovih kanala Kv4.2 i Kv4.3 prisutni u glatkim mišićima HUV-a i da se istraže potencijalne promene njihove ekspresije tokom patoloških stanja majke – gestacijskog dijabetesa melitusa (GDM) i arterijske hipertenzije (AH) izazvane trudnoćom (AHT). Metode. U istraživanje su uključene HUV sakupljene posle trudnoće zdravih porodilja, onih čije trudnoće su bile komplikovane GDM i AH. Svaka grupa sastojala se od 6 uzoraka HUV-a dobijenih iz 6 zdravih trudnoća, 6 trudnoća komplikovanih GDM i 6 trudnoća komplikovanih AH. Nakon farmakoloških analiza, urađene su imunohistohemijska (IH) analiza i Western blot. Rezultati. Primenom IH analize pokazan je sličan obrazac ekspresije obe podjedinice Kv4.2 i Kv4.3 kanala u glatkim mišićima HUV-a u svim grupama trudnica. Rezultati dobijeni Western blot-om bili su u skladu sa IH bojenjem. Ekspresija podjedinica Kv4.2 i Kv4.3 nije se značajno razlikovala između grupa trudnica. Zaključak. Ovo je prema našim saznanjima prva studija kojom je pokazano prisustvo Kv4.2 i Kv4.3 kalijumovih kanala u glatkim mišićima HUV-a zdravih porodilja, kao i onih porodilja čija je trudnoća bila praćena prisustvom GDM ili AHT. Ti kanali su najverovatnije glavne komponente brzih struja A-tipa, koji mogu biti relevantni za protok krvi majke i ploda i na taj način delovati protektivno za razvoj fetusa. Takođe, oni mogu predstavljati senzitivne pokazatelje hemodinamskih i/ili metaboličkih promena u lokalnoj fetomaternalnoj sredini.

abstract = "Background/Aim. A substantial line of evidence indicates that Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 channels are the major components of rapid transient-outward potassium currents (A-type cur-rents). It is speculated that those currents may be involved in the maintenance of the membrane potential, as well as in the regulation of propagation and frequency of action potentials. However, very little is known about the presence and function of A-type currents in human vascular smooth muscles such as the human umbilical vein (HUV). Bearing in mind its crucial role in the proper fetal oxygenation, the aim of the study was to determine whether Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 potassium channels are present in HUV smooth muscle and to investigate potential alterations of their expression during maternal pathological conditions such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). Methods. Healthy, diabetic, and hypertensive pregnancies were subjects of this investigation. Each group consisted of 6 HUV samples obtained from 6 normal pregnancies, 6 pregnancies with GDM, and 6 with PIH. After pharmacology analysis, immunohistochemistry (IH) and Western blot were performed. Results. IH revealed similar expression patterns of both, Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 subunits in HUV smooth muscle in all groups of patients. Results obtained by Western blot were in agreement with IH staining. The expression of Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 subunits were not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion. Collective-ly, this is the first study that demonstrated the presence of Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 potassium channels in the HUV smooth muscle and their preservation during GDM and PIH pregnancies. These channels are most likely major components of rapid A-type currents that may be relevant for maternal-fetus blood flow and hence fetal development. In addition, they may represent sensors for detecting hemodynamic and/or metabolic changes in the local environment., Uvod/Cilj. Značajan niz dokaza ukazuje na to da su kanali Kv4.2 i Kv4.3 glavne komponente brzih prolazno- ispravljačkih struja kalijuma (struje tipa A). Pretpostavlja se da bi te struje mogle da budu uključene u održavanje membranskog potencijala ćelije, kao i u regulaciju propagacije i učestalosti akcionih potencijala. Međutim, vrlo malo se zna o prisustvu i funkciji struje tipa A u glatkim mišićima krvnih sudova čoveka, kao što je humana umbilikalna vena (HUV). S obzirom na njenu ključnu ulogu u adekvatnoj oksigenaciji fetusa, cilj rada bio je da se utvrdi da li su podtipovi kalijumovih kanala Kv4.2 i Kv4.3 prisutni u glatkim mišićima HUV-a i da se istraže potencijalne promene njihove ekspresije tokom patoloških stanja majke – gestacijskog dijabetesa melitusa (GDM) i arterijske hipertenzije (AH) izazvane trudnoćom (AHT). Metode. U istraživanje su uključene HUV sakupljene posle trudnoće zdravih porodilja, onih čije trudnoće su bile komplikovane GDM i AH. Svaka grupa sastojala se od 6 uzoraka HUV-a dobijenih iz 6 zdravih trudnoća, 6 trudnoća komplikovanih GDM i 6 trudnoća komplikovanih AH. Nakon farmakoloških analiza, urađene su imunohistohemijska (IH) analiza i Western blot. Rezultati. Primenom IH analize pokazan je sličan obrazac ekspresije obe podjedinice Kv4.2 i Kv4.3 kanala u glatkim mišićima HUV-a u svim grupama trudnica. Rezultati dobijeni Western blot-om bili su u skladu sa IH bojenjem. Ekspresija podjedinica Kv4.2 i Kv4.3 nije se značajno razlikovala između grupa trudnica. Zaključak. Ovo je prema našim saznanjima prva studija kojom je pokazano prisustvo Kv4.2 i Kv4.3 kalijumovih kanala u glatkim mišićima HUV-a zdravih porodilja, kao i onih porodilja čija je trudnoća bila praćena prisustvom GDM ili AHT. Ti kanali su najverovatnije glavne komponente brzih struja A-tipa, koji mogu biti relevantni za protok krvi majke i ploda i na taj način delovati protektivno za razvoj fetusa. Takođe, oni mogu predstavljati senzitivne pokazatelje hemodinamskih i/ili metaboličkih promena u lokalnoj fetomaternalnoj sredini.",

AB  - Excessive dietary fructose consumption in parallel with limited physical activity contributes to the global increase in prevalence of metabolic disorders. Metabolic syndrome represents a collection of cardiometabolic risk factors that includes obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, and it is undoubtedly linked to increased risk for two global maladies, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Fructose-rich diet is accompanied by the development of insulin resistance in the heart, and it could change the use of cardiac energy substrates towards increased fatty acid (FA) uptake, and catabolism. Exercise may be beneficial in prevention and treatment of the metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of low-intensity exercise on protein expression of nuclear transcription factors involved in regulating FA β- oxidation in a heart of fructose fed rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into control group, and two groups that received 10% fructose for 9 weeks, one which was sedentary and one which was additionally exposed to low intensity exercise. The protein expression of important transcriptional regulators of fatty acid β-oxidation PPARα, and FOXO1, and coregulators Lipin1, PGC-1, and SIRT1 are analyzed in cardiac lysate and/or nuclear fraction by Western blot. Gene expression of ACADL, the enzyme that catalyzes the initial step of mitochondrial β-oxidation, was quantified by real-time PCR. Fructose-rich diet decreased nuclear PPARα compared to control. Exercise increased nuclear PPARα, nuclear FOXO1, lysate PGC1, and nuclear Lipin1 in fructose-fed rats compared to sedentary fructose-fed rats. Exercise increased lysate PPARα, lysate and nuclear FOXO1, lysate PGC1, lysate and nuclear SIRT1, and nuclear Lipin1 in fructose-fed rats compared to control. In conclusion, running at low intensity is accompanied by increased expression of key regulators of fatty acid oxidation. The results indicate that exercise achieves its effect by increasing the nuclear content of PPARα, Lipin1, and FOXO1.

AB  - We previously reported that low-intensity exercise prevented cardiac insulin resistance induced by a fructose-rich diet (FRD). To examine whether low-intensity exercise could prevent the disturbances of key molecules of cardiac glucose metabolism induced by FRD in male and ovariectomized (ovx) female rats, animals were exposed to 10% fructose solution (SF) or underwent both fructose diet and exercise (EF). Exercise prevented a decrease in cardiac GSK-3β phosphorylation induced by FRD in males (p <.001 vs. SF). It also prevented a decrease in PFK-2 phosphorylation in ovx females (p <.001 vs. SF) and increased the expression of PFK-2 in males (p <.05 vs. control). Exercise did not prevent a decrease in plasma membrane GLUT1 and GLUT4 levels in ovx females on FRD. The only effect of exercise on glucose transporters that could be indicated as beneficial is an augmented GLUT4 protein expression in males (p <.05 vs. control). Obtained results suggest that low-intensity exercise prevents harmful effects of FRD towards cardiac glycogenesis in males and glycolysis in ovx females. Practical applications: Low-intensity exercise, equivalent to brisk walking, was able to prevent disturbances in cardiac glycolysis regulation in ovx female and the glycogen synthesis pathway in male rats. In terms of human health, although molecular mechanisms of beneficial effects of exercise on cardiac glucose metabolism vary between genders, low-intensity running may be a useful non-pharmacological approach in the prevention of cardiac metabolic disorders in both men and postmenopausal women. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

AB  - Both a diet rich in fructose and chronic stress exposure induce metabolic and cardiovascular disturbances. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the fructose-rich diet and chronic stress, separately and in combination, on insulin signaling and molecules regulating glycogen synthesis and ion transport in the heart, and to reveal whether these effects coincide with changes in glucocorticoid receptor (GR) activation. Male Wistar rats were subjected to 10% fructose in drinking water and/or to chronic unpredictable stress for 9 weeks. Protein expression and/or phosphorylation of the insulin receptor (IR), protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1), protein kinase B (Akt), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and Na+/K+-ATPase α-subunits in cardiac tissue were analyzed by western blot. GR distribution between cytosolic and nuclear fractions was also analyzed. The fructose-rich diet decreased the level of pERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204) and pGSK-3β (Ser9) independently of stress, while chronic stress increased the IRS1 content and prevented the fructose diet-induced decrease of the pAkt (Ser473) level. The fructose-rich diet in combination with chronic stress reduced the protein content of cardiac IR and attenuated IRS1 upregulation. Separate treatments increased the protein content of Na+/K+-ATPase α1- and α2-subunits, while after combined treatment the α2 content was at the control level and the α1 content was lower than the control level. The effect of combined treatment on cardiac IR and α2-subunit expression could be mediated by increased GR nuclear accumulation. Our study provides new insights into the effects of chronic stress and a combination of the fructose diet and chronic stress on the studied molecules in the heart.

The fructose-rich diet decreased the level of pERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204) and pGSK-3β (Ser9) independently of stress, while chronic stress increased the IRS1 content and prevented the fructose diet-induced decrease of the pAkt (Ser473) level. The fructose-rich diet in combination with chronic stress reduced the protein content of cardiac IR and attenuated IRS1 upregulation. Separate treatments increased the protein content of Na+/K+-ATPase α1- and α2-subunits, while after combined treatment the α2 content was at the control level and the α1 content was lower than the control level. The effect of combined treatment on cardiac IR and α2-subunit expression could be mediated by increased GR nuclear accumulation. Our study provides new insights into the effects of chronic stress and a combination of the fructose diet and chronic stress on the studied molecules in the heart.",

AB  - Voltage-gated potassium (K ) channels are the largest superfamily of potassium (K) channels. A variety of K channels are expressed in the vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC). Studies have shown that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) cause various changes in the human umbilical vein (HUV). Recently, we have shown that 4-AP, a nonspecific K 1-4 channel inhibitor, significantly decreases vasorelaxation induced by K channel opener pinacidil in vascular SMCs of the HUVs from normal pregnancies, but not in GDM and PIH. The goal of this study was to provide more detailed insight in the K channel subtypes involved in pinacidil-induced vasodilation of HUVs, as well as to investigate potential alterations of their function and expression during GDM and PIH. Margatoxin, a specific blocker of K 1.2 and K 1.3 channels, significantly antagonized pinacidil-induced vasorelaxation in normal pregnancy, while in HUVs from GDM and PIH that was not the case, indicating damage of K 1.2 and K 1.3 channel function. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot revealed similar expression of K 1.2 channels in all groups. The expression of K 1.3 subunit was significantly decreased in PIH, while it remained unchanged in GDM compared to normal pregnancy. Phrixotoxin, specific blocker of K 4.2 and K 4.3 channels, did not antagonize response to pinacidil in any of the groups. The major novel findings show that margatoxin antagonized pinacidil-induced relaxation in normal pregnancy, but not in GDM and PIH. Decreased expression of K 1.3 channels in HUV during PIH may be important pathophysiological mechanism contributing to an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

AB  - Harmful effects of fructose-rich diet (FRD) were predominantly observed in males, suggesting protective effects of estrogens. Little is known about AMPK/sirtuin-1 (SIRT1)/forkhead box O3 (FoxO3a)/manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD)/catalase signaling in the heart in state of metabolic syndrome and oxidative stress induced by fructose over-consumption. We investigated the effect of 10% FRD on expression of AMPK-SIRT1-FoxO3a-MnSOD/catalase axis in myocardium and potentially beneficial effect of 17β-estradiol replacement. The expression of NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4) and miRNA-155, unfavorable regulators of this axis, were also investigated. FRD significantly increased AMPK and decreased FoxO3a activity, decreased SIRT1, MnSOD and Nox4 protein expression while E2 reverted these changes, except for Nox4, and increased catalase protein level. E2 diminished Nox4 and MnSOD mRNA level in FRD ovariectomized rats. These results suggest independent response of AMPK and SIRT to FRD treatment. The proposed signaling in the heart should be further investigated in the prooxidative and antioxidative milieu.

AB  - Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) can jeopardize mother and/or fetus. Vascular ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels most likely participate in the processes of diabetes and hypertension. The aim of this research was to examine whether GDM and PIH cause changes in the expression and function of KATP channels in vascular smooth muscle of human umbilical vein (HUV). Western blot and immunohistochemistry detected significantly decreased expression of Kir6.1 subunit of KATP channels in GDM and PIH, while the expression of SUR2B was unchanged. In GDM, a K+ channel opener, pinacidil caused reduced relaxation of the endothelium-denuded HUVs compared to normal pregnancy. However, its effects in HUVs from PIH subjects were similar to normal pregnancy. In all groups KATP channel blocker glibenclamide antagonized the relaxation of HUV induced by pinacidil without change in the maximal relaxations indicating additional KATP channel-independent mechanisms of pinacidil action. Iberiotoxin, a selective antagonist of large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels, inhibited the relaxant effect of pinacidil in PIH, but not in normal pregnancy and GDM. Experiments performed in K+-rich solution confirmed the existence of K+-independent effects of pinacidil, which also appear to be impaired in GDM and PIH. Thus, the expression of KATP channels is decreased in GDM and PIH. In GDM, vasorelaxant response of HUV to pinacidil is reduced, while in PIH it remains unchanged. It is very likely that KATP channels modulation and more detailed insight in KATP channel-independent actions of pinacidil may be precious in the therapy of pathological pregnancies. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

AB  - Increase in fructose consumption together with decrease in physical activity contributes to the development of metabolic syndrome and consequently cardiovascular diseases. The current study examined the preventive role of exercise on defects in cardiac insulin signaling and function of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in fructose fed rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into control, sedentary fructose (received 10% fructose for 9 weeks) and exercise fructose (additionally exposed to low intensity exercise) groups. Concentration of triglycerides, glucose, insulin and visceral adipose tissue weight were determined to estimate metabolic syndrome development. Expression and/or phosphorylation of cardiac insulin receptor (IR), insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1), tyrosine-specific protein phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), Akt, extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) and eNOS were evaluated. Fructose overload increased visceral adipose tissue, insulin concentration and homeostasis model assessment index. Exercise managed to decrease visceral adiposity and insulin level and to increase insulin sensitivity. Fructose diet increased level of cardiac PTP1B and pIRS1 (Ser307), while levels of IR and ERK1/2, as well as pIRS1 (Tyr 632), pAkt (Ser473, Thr308) and pERK1/2 were decreased. These disturbances were accompanied by reduced phosphorylation of eNOS at Ser1177. Exercise managed to prevent most of the disturbances in insulin signaling caused by fructose diet (except phosphorylation of IRS1 at Tyr 632 and phosphorylation and protein expression of ERK1/2) and consequently restored function of eNOS. Low intensity exercise could be considered as efficient treatment of cardiac insulin resistance induced by fructose diet. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB  - To give new insight to alterations of cardiac lipid metabolism accompanied by a fructose-rich diet (FRD), rats of both sexes were exposed to 10 % fructose in drinking water during 9 weeks. The protein level and subcellular localization of the main regulators of cardiac lipid metabolism, such as lipin 1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR alpha), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1 alpha), carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPTI), and CD36 were studied. Caloric intake in fructose-fed rats (FFR) of both sexes was increased. Circulating triacylglyceroles (TAG) and non-esterified fatty acids were increased in male FFR, while females increased visceral adiposity and blood TAG. Total expression of lipin 1 in cardiac cell lysate and its cytosolic and microsomal level were increased in the hearts of male FFR. PPAR alpha and PGC-1 alpha content were decreased in the nuclear extract. In addition, cardiac deposition of TAG in male FFR was elevated, as well as inhibitory phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1). In contrast, in female FFR, lipin 1 level was increased in nuclear extract only, while overall CPTI expression and phosphorylation of IRS-1 at serine 307 were decreased. The results of our study suggest that fructose diet causes gender-dependent alterations in cardiac lipid metabolism. Potentially detrimental effects of FRD seem to be limited to male rats. Most of the observed changes might be a consequence of elevated expression and altered localization of lipin 1. Increased inhibitory phosphorylation of IRS-1 is possible link between cardiac lipid metabolism and insulin resistance in FFR.
