Regulation of Cardiac Energy Metabolism

What is...the heart generates more than 95% of its ATP by oxidative metabolism of energy substrates; 60% to 70% of ATP arises from the oxidation of fatty acids (FAs), and 30% to 40% from the oxidation of glucose and other substrates such as lactate, amino acids, and ketone bodies, depending on their availability in the circulation.2 Utilization of FAs for ATP regeneration initially requires FA uptake into the cardiomyocyte via fatty acid transporters such as CD36 and the fatty acid transporters (FATP, family of proteins). Following esterification to acyl CoA by acyl-CoA synthetase, they are imported into mitochondria by transient coupling to carnitine via the carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) system. Once imported into mitochondria, acyl Coenzyme A (CoA) is oxidized in the β-oxidation spiral to yield acetyl CoA and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH). Utilization of glucose requires sarcolemmal glucose uptake via the classical insulin-responsive glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) and the constitutive glucose transporter (GLUT1).3
