Abstract: Cholecalciferol improves insulin signaling and glucose metabolism in the heart and reduces circulating non-esterified fatty acids. Cholecalciferol effects on the cardiac fatty acid (FA) metabolism and the consequences on calcium handling were examined. Blood lipid profile was determined. Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to examine protein and mRNA expression. Cholecalciferol-treated rats had increased acetyl CoA carboxylase 2 protein expression and decreased expression of malonyl CoA decarboxylase. In addition, the expression of uncoupling protein 3 was elevated. Also, the level of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator in the nucleus of heart cells was increased along with the level of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ATPase in the microsomal fraction. In parallel, the L-type calcium channel and ryanodine receptor expression was reduced. In the heart of healthy rats, cholecalciferol affects proteins regulating malonyl CoA availability and intracellular Ca2+ handling proteins. |
