Biochem/physiol Actions

Stearoylcarnitine is found in significantly greater amounts in patients with carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase, in conjunction with acyl-CoA synthetase and carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase, provides the mechanism whereby long-chain fatty acids are transferred from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix to undergo beta-oxidation.

Lipid infusion or ingestion of a high-fat diet results in insulin resistance, but the mechanism underlying this phenomenon remains unclear. Here we show that, in rats fed a high-fat diet, whole-animal, muscle and liver insulin resistance is ameliorated following hepatic
