Abstract
A minor pathway for fatty acid oxidation is the cytosolic peroxisomal pathway. Thus, mrNA expression of most of the enzymes in this pathway are found to be reduced with hindlimb suspension (HLS). Since both the intra and extra-mitochondrial pathways for fatty acids are reduced it would seem that the regulatory step is prior to the point at which the two pathways diverge. The observations show that a principle factor in determining the atrophy induced fuel shift in muscle is the response of hormone sensitive lipase to the plasma substrate and endocrine environment.
