Effects of exercise and caloric restriction on lipid-derived acylcarnitine and acyl-CoA metabolites in NT and MCK-PGC1α mice fed an HFD. Lipid metabolites were measured by tandem mass spectrometry using gastrocnemius muscles from NT and MCK-PGC1α mice after 30 weeks of high-fat feeding without or with exercise and caloric restriction (Ex/CR). A: Free carnitine and acetylcarnitine. B: Even-chain acylcarnitines. C: Free CoA and acetyl-CoA. D: Even-chain acyl-CoAs. Data represent means ± SEM for 6–8 mice per group. Statistical differences were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. There was an effect of treatment group on free carnitine, acylcarnitine, and acyl-CoA levels. *P < 0.05 between genotypes, #P < 0.05 within a genotype between treatment conditions (sedentary [Sed] versus Ex/CR).
