  • Publication number: 20040204338
    Abstract: The present invention highlights the role of acetyl-CoA carboxylase through its product malonyl-CoA in regulating fatty acid oxidation and synthesis, glucose metabolism and energy homeostasis. It discloses transgenic mice with inactivating mutations in the endogenous gene for the acetyl-CoA carboxylase 2 isoform of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Inactivation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 2 results in mice exhibiting a phenotype of reduced malonyl-CoA levels in skeletal muscle and heart, unrestricted fat oxidation, and reduced fat accumulation in the liver and fat storage cells. As a result, the mice consume more food but accumulate less fat and remain leaner than wild-type mice fed the same diet. These results demonstrate that inhibition of ACC2 acetyl-CoA carboxylase could be used to regulate fat oxidation and accumulation for purposes of weight control.
