Stimulation of fatty acid oxidation in myocytes by phosphodiesterase inhibitors and adenosine analogues

Life Sci. 1991;48(18):PL97-102. doi: 10.1016/0024-3205(91)90219-2.

Abstract

The effect of various phosphodiesterase inhibitors, and adenosine analogues on palmitate oxidation, were studied in isolated rat myocytes. Enoximone, milrinone, and dipyridamole, at a concentration of 250 microM, stimulated palmitate oxidation by 78%, 40%, and 43%, respectively. The specific A1-agonist, N6-cyclopentyladenosine, increased palmitate oxidation by 56%, at a concentration of 250 microM. Moreover, the nucleoside transport inhibitor, S-(P-Nitrobenzyl-)6-thioinosine, increased palmitate oxidation by 40%, at a concentration of 100 microM. These data suggest that the stimulation of palmitate oxidation by enoximone and adenosine analogues may be mediated via the inhibition of the uptake and/or the oxidation of glucose in myocytes.
