we demonstrated that normal cardiac UCP3 levels are essential to recovery of long-chain fatty acid oxidation, mitochondrial respiratory capacity, and contractile function following cardiac ischemia/reperfusion
Title: Uncoupling protein 3 deficiency impairs myocardial fatty acid oxidation and contractile recovery following ischemia/reperfusion.
Data suggest that UCP3 expression, energy metabolism, and uptake/beta-oxidation of free fatty acids in skeletal muscle can be regulated by dietary components; here, ursolic acid, a dietary triterpenoid, has anti-obesity effects.
Title: Ursolic acid increases energy expenditure through enhancing free fatty acid uptake and β-oxidation via an UCP3/AMPK-dependent pathway in skeletal muscle.
Based on Ucp3 content, a decrease in oxidative capacity and proton leak in intermyofibrillar and subsarcolemmal mitochondria could induce a decline in energy expenditure and thus contribute to the reduced resting metabolic rate found in old rats.
Title: Alterations in proton leak, oxidative status and uncoupling protein 3 content in skeletal muscle subsarcolemmal and intermyofibrillar mitochondria in old rats.
Endurance training blocked the high-sugar diet induced up-regulation of UCP1 expression in interscapular brown adipose tissue, whereas it up-regulated the expression of Ucp3 mRNA in muscle.
Title: Endurance training blocks uncoupling protein 1 up-regulation in brown adipose tissue while increasing uncoupling protein 3 in the muscle tissue of rats fed with a high-sugar diet.
Examined the effect of D-Asp uptake on the expression of the mitochondrial uncoupling protein-3 (UCP3), beta-actin, and alpha-tubulin in rat Harderian gland.
Title: Effect of D-aspartate uptake on uncoupling protein-3 and α-tubulin expressions in rat Harderian gland.
High fat diets increase the expression of fatty acid oxidation enzymes such as UCP3,PDK4, and MCAD concomitant with elevated plasma fatty acid levels and the induction of PGC-1 beta, but independent of changes in AMPK, p38, and PKA signaling.
Title: Interactions between the consumption of a high-fat diet and fasting in the regulation of fatty acid oxidation enzyme gene expression: an evaluation of potential mechanisms.
High-fat diet induced obesity resistance was closely associated with increased UCP2, UCP3, and decreased PPARgamma2 mRNA in white adipose tissue.
Title: [UCPs and PPARgamma2 mRNA in diet induced obesity resistant rats].
These findings indicate that changes in Intramyocellular lipids content but not UCP3 content are implicated in short-term effects of cafeteria-style diet and exercise training on muscular insulin sensitivity in rats.
Title: Hyperglycemic diet and training alter insulin sensitivity, intramyocellular lipid content but not UCP3 protein expression in rat skeletal muscles.
In the mouse C2C12 myoblast cell line, UCP3 has a short half-life of 0.5-4 h. Its turnover is proteasome dependent.
Title: Rapid turnover of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 3.
It is concluded that UCP2 and UCP3 are implicated in the age-depended heart dysfunction and development of the pathological mechanisms during ischemia-reperfusion.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
