Acute Regulation of Fatty Acid Uptake Involves the Cellular Redistribution of Fatty Acid Translocase
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We used muscle contraction, which increases fatty acid oxidation, as a model to determine whether fatty acid transport is acutely regulated by fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36). Palmitate uptake by giant vesicles, obtained from skeletal muscle, was increased by muscle contraction. Kinetic studies indicated that muscle contraction increased V(max), but K(m) remained unaltered. Sulfo-N-succinimidyl oleate, a specific inhibitor of FAT/CD36, fully blocked the contraction-induced increase in palmitate uptake. In giant vesicles from contracting muscles, plasma membrane FAT/CD36 was also increased in parallel with the increase in long chain fatty acid uptake. Further studies showed that like GLUT-4, FAT/CD36 is located in both the plasma membrane and intracellularly (endosomally). With muscle contraction, FAT/CD36 at the surface of the muscle was increased, while concomitantly, FAT/CD36 in the intracellular pool was reduced. Similar responses were observed for GLUT-4. We conclude that fatty acid uptake is subject to short term regulation by muscle contraction and involves the translocation of FAT/CD36 from intracellular stores to the sarcolemma, analogous to the regulation of glucose uptake by GLUT-4.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
