Objectives

  • Know the fuels utilised by the heart
  • be familiar with the pathways generating ATP
  • Be familiar with the switching of fuels in various physiological and disease states
  • be familiar with some of the regulatory points involved in fuel switching
  • be familiar with the cardio proctective role of exercise and AMPK

heart uses 3.5-5 kg atp per day pumps ~10 tons of blood

can use all fuels likes fatty acids

90% of energy in fasting heart produced by mitochondrial respiration

myocardial cells are packed with mitochondia

energy use

carbo breakdown path and

First 20 mins or so he is reviewing cellular respiration

Heart fuel use

all carbs fetal, low pO2, neonatal

50/50: hypoxia, hypertrophy, exercise

fuel utilisation is effected by substrate avilability workload hormones etc

Fuel intake/uptake

Glucose

GLUT 4 insulin dependant i think GLUT 1

fatty acids

CD36 FATP6 into cell transportser

fatty acyl coa fed state: acetyl CoA triggers acc makes malonyl CoA which vlocks CPT-1,2 which is needed for fatty transport

fasting state no malonyl coa

fasting and fed state has different

The level of oxygen changes fuel usage

Ischaemia PDH act to shut off glycolysis when there is alot of acetyl coa

state
biabetesmore fa oxidation
less carbohydrate
hypertrophied heartless fa oxidation
more glycolysis
ischaemic heartfar less oxidative metabolism
more glycolysis transiently
hypoxicless oxidative metabolism
more glycolysis
reperfusedmore fa oxidation
less carb oxidation
normal glycolysis

Type 2 diabetes

glut 4 doesnt respond less glucose metabolism

more fatty acid more ketones

more LCFA coa blocks glycolysis

Ischaemia

less atp more amp amp kinase activated by it amp kinase down regualtes acetyl coa carboxylase which means less malonyl coa

less malonyl coa means more CPT ehich is more acyl carnitine carrier this is more beta ox

more beta ox means moa acetyl coa means ledd pydruvate transported into mitochondria pyruvate oxidation

what revs up glycolysis in hypoxia?

HIF1a

HIF1a upregulates glut1 PFK LDH and reduces FA oxidation by teducing PPARa signalling

normoxia leads to oxidation of HIF1a and eventrual destruction

Zonal hypoxia

different areas have different ox levels

Exercise is known as cardioprotective

  • improves cardiovascula
  • improve insulin sensitivity
  • exercise activates AMPK
    • activated AMPk has multiple benefitical effects
