Abstract 282: Adropin Enhancement of Cardiac Insulin Sensitivity and Inhibition of Fatty Acid Oxidation are Associated With Improvement of Cardiac Function and Efficiency in Hearts From Fasted Mice
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Impaired cardiac insulin signaling and high cardiac fatty acid oxidation rates are characteristics of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Potential roles for liver-derived metabolic factors in mediating cardiac energy homeostasis are underappreciated. Plasma levels of adropin, a liver secreted peptide, increase during feeding and decrease during fasting and diabetes. In skeletal muscle, adropin preferentially promotes glucose over fatty acid oxidation. We therefore determined what effect adropin has on cardiac energy metabolism, insulin signaling and cardiac efficiency. C57Bl/6 mice were fasted to accentuate the differences in adropin plasma levels between animals injected 3 times over 24 hr with either vehicle or adropin (450 nmol/kg i.p.). Despite fasting-induced predominance of fatty acid oxidation measured in isolated working hearts, insulin inhibition of fatty acid oxidation was re-established in adropin-treated mice (from 1022±143 to 517±56 nmol. g dry wt -1 . min -1 , p <0.05) compared to vehicle-treated mice (from 757±104 to 818±103 nmol. g dry wt -1 . min -1 ). Adropin-treated mice hearts showed higher cardiac work over the course of perfusion (p<0.05 vs. vehicle), which was accompanied by improved cardiac efficiency and enhanced phosphorylation of insulin signaling enzymes (tyrosine-IRS-1, AS160, p<0.05). Acute addition of adropin (2nM) to isolated working hearts from non-fasting mice showed a robust stimulation of glucose oxidation compared to vehicle-treated hearts (3025±401 vs 1708±292 nmol. g dry wt -1 . min -1 , p<0.05, respectively) with a corresponding inhibition of palmitate oxidation (325±61 vs 731±160 nmol. g dry wt -1 . min -1 , p<0.05, respectively), even in the presence of insulin. Acute adropin addition to hearts also increased IRS-1 tyrosine-phosphorylation as well as Akt, and GSK3β phosphorylation (p<0.05), suggesting acute receptor- and/or post-translational modification-mediated mechanisms. These results suggest adropin as a putative candidate for the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

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.
