Elevated Elovl5 activity increases hepatic fatty acyl carnitines in fasted obese mice. Hepatic acyl carnitines were extracted from livers of HFD-fed obese mice infected with either Ad-Luc or Ad-Elovl5 and quantified using an LC/MS approach described previously (23, 24). A: Hepatic C2–4 fatty acyl carnitines of HFD-fed obese mice infected with either Ad-Luc or Ad-Elovl5. B: Hepatic C12–24 saturated fatty acyl carnitines of fasted HFD-fed obese mice infected with either Ad-Luc or Ad-Elovl5. C: Hepatic C8–22 monounsaturated fatty acyl carnitines of fasted HFD-fed obese mice infected with either Ad-Luc or Ad-Elovl5. D: Hepatic C18–22 polyunsaturated fatty acyl carnitines of fasted HFD-fed obese mice infected with either Ad-Luc or Ad-Elovl5. Results are normalized to total hepatic protein and expressed as picomoles acyl carnitine per milligram of protein; mean ± SD, n = 4; a, P ≤ 0.05 versus Ad-Luc-infected obese mice; Student’s t-test.
