Effects of Biotin Supplementation in the Diet on Adipose Tissue cGMP Concentrations, AMPK Activation, Lipolysis, and Serum-Free Fatty Acid Levels

Abstract: Several studies have shown that pharmacological concentrations of biotin decrease hyperlipidemia. The molecular mechanisms by which pharmacological concentrations of biotin modify lipid metabolism are largely unknown. Adipose tissue plays a central role in lipid homeostasis. In the present study, we analyzed the effects of biotin supplementation in adipose tissue on signaling pathways and critical proteins that regulate lipid metabolism, as well as on lipolysis. In addition, we assessed serum fatty acid concen… Show more

“…This translates into a decrease in lipid synthesis rates and a relief malonyl CoA carnitine-palmitoyltransferase-1 inhibition, which leads to a higher rate of fatty acid oxidation. Consistent with the biotin-induced increase of active AMPK, we found that biotin supplementation increased the abundance of phosphorylated ACC-1 and -2 in the liver and adipose tissue [10,13]. Furthermore, we found that serum fatty acid concentrations decreased, but it did not affect lipolysis [10].…”

“…At pharmacological concentrations, biotin has other actions associated with changes in gene expression at the transcription, translation, and post-translation levels [1][2][3][4]. Several investigations have documented that pharmacological concentrations of biotin modify lipid homeostasis [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Studies on humans and rodents demonstrate that the administration of biotin at pharmacological doses decreases serum concentrations of triglycerides [7,12], cholesterol [5,6], and free fatty acid [10,11].…”

“…At weaning three-week-old male Balb/cAnN mice were fed one of the following diets: biotin-control (TD-01362) or biotin-supplemented diet (TD-02458) containing 1.76 mg and 97.70 mg of free biotin/kg diet, respectively (Harlan Teklad, Madison WI, USA) as described previously [1518, 26]. A third group of mice received the control diet but were treated with a single dose of carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 , 2 ml/kg body weight) to induce liver damage.…”

“…Food consumption and body weight were measured through the experiment. After 8 weeks, the mice were deprived of food for 12 h and anesthetized as described in [1518], and the blood and liver were extracted. The mice were killed via cervical dislocation.…”
