Pyruvate increases fatty acid oxidative enzyme levels while decreasing uptake. A and B: protein content of CD36 (A) and β-oxidative enzyme 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (β-HAD) (B) relative to teEF2 content. C and D: cells were treated with [14C]palmitate (Palm) for 2 h to measure basal levels of [14C]palmitate uptake (C) and oxidation (Oxid) (D) following 72-h pyruvate or NaCl treatment. *Significantly different from NaCl (P < 0.05).
