Expression data from livers of high fat fed rats treated with ACC inhibitor PF-04923503

ABSTRACT: Fundamental alterations in lipid metabolism including increased rates of de novo lipogenesis (DNL), reduced fatty acid oxidation (FAOX) and ectopic lipid accumulation in skeletal muscle and liver are characteristic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and have been hypothesized to directly contribute to the molecular pathogenesis of the disease. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) catalyzes the formation of malonyl-CoA, the rate limiting substrate for DML and key regulator of FAOX. ACC inhibitors have the potential to pharmacologically rebalance these metabolic alterations. In the present study, PF-04923503, a potent dual ACC1/ACC2 inhibitor with properties optimized for in vivo studies, suppressed levels of malonyl-CoA in primary hepatocytes, rat skeletal muscle ex vivo, as well as rat liver and s
