Abstract
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I is assumed to be rate limiting for beta-oxidation in all tissues. However, the concentration of malonyl-CoA in heart and muscle is high and is enough to completely inhibit beta-oxidation if this assumption is correct. In this review, we consider whether: (i) there is a malonyl-CoA-insensitive carnitine palmitoyltransferase I activity; (ii) the measured malonyl-CoA concentration in the heart is physiologically meaningful; and (iii) carnitine palmitoyltransferase I is rate-limiting for beta-oxidation in the heart.Entities:
