This review discusses the metabolic changes that occur in chronic heart failure, with emphasis on the mechanisms that regulate the changes in the expression of metabolic genes and the function of metabolic pathways and the consequences of these metabolic changes on cardiac function.

PPARalpha is a critical regulator of myocardial fatty acid uptake and utilization, activation of cardiac PPARalpha regulatory pathways results in a reciprocal repression of glucose uptake and usage pathways, and derangements in myocardian energy metabolism typical of the diabetic heart can become maladaptive, leading to cardiomyopathy.

The antianginal drug trimetazidine shifts cardiac energy metabolism from fatty acid oxidation to glucose oxidation by inhibiting mitochondrial long-chain 3-ketoacyl coenzyme A thiolase.

The data suggest that the antianginal effects of trimetazidine may occur because of an inhibition of long-chain 3-ketoacyl CoA thiolase activity, which results in a reduction in fatty acid oxidation and a stimulation of glucose oxidation.

AMPK alterations in cardiac physiology and pathology: enemy or ally?

- 1 July 2006
The issue of whether AMPK activation acts as an enemy or ally to the ischaemic and hypertrophied heart is addressed and has important implications as to whether therapeutic approaches to protect theIschaemic heart should be developed which either activate or inhibit AMPK.
