1. The effect of 2-tetradecylglycidic acid (TDGA), a potent, specific inhibitor of long-chain fatty acid oxidation, on fatty acid and glucose oxidation by isolated rat soleus muscle was studied. 2. TDGA inhibited [1-14C]palmitate oxidation by soleus muscle in a concentration-dependent manner. 3. TDGA inhibited the activity of soleus muscle mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase A (CPT-A). 4. Added palmitate (0.5 mM) significantly inhibited D-[U-14C]glucose oxidation and, under conditions where TDGA inhibited palmitate oxidation, the oxidation of D-[U-14C]glucose by isolated soleus muscle was significantly stimulated. 5. TDGA stimulation of glucose oxidation was reversed by octanoate, a medium-chain fatty acid whose oxidation is not inhibited by TDGA. 6. When nondiabetic rats were treated with TDGA (10 mg/kg p.o./day x 3 days), fasting plasma glucose was significantly lowered and the ability of isolated contralateral soleus muscles to oxidize palmitate was inhibited while glucose oxidation was significantly stimulated.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
