We compared UCP3 protein in rat cardiac, glycolytic and oxidative skeletal muscle and examined the effect of high-fat medium chain vs. long chain triacylglycerol feeding on UCP3 content in these tissues. Cardiac muscle displays the lowest basal levels of UCP3 protein. Increasing long chain - but not medium chain - fatty acid supply upregulates UCP3 in all muscles. Since plasma non-esteritied fatty acids and the expression of two peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)responsive genes, were not different between groups, we conclude that the differential upregulation of UCP3 is not merely PPAR-mediated. This study supports a role of UCP3 in export of non-metabolizable fatty acids. (C) 2003 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
