Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine if Shc proteins influence the
metabolic response to acute (7 days) feeding of a high-fat diet (HFD). To this
end, whole animal energy expenditure (EE) and substrate oxidation were measured
in the Shc knockout (ShcKO) and wild-type (WT) mice fed a control or HFD. The
activities of enzymes of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, electron transport
chain (ETC), and ß-oxidation were also investigated in liver and skeletal muscle
of ShcKO and WT animals. The study showed that ShcKO increases (P < .05) EE
adjusted for either total body weight or lean mass. This change in EE could
contribute to decreases in weight gain in ShcKO versus WT mice fed an HFD. Thus,
our results indicate that Shc proteins should be considered as potential targets
for developing interventions to mitigate weight gain on HFD by stimulating EE.
Although decreased levels of Shc proteins influenced the activity of some
enzymes in response to high-fat feeding (eg, increasing the activity of acyl-CoA
dehydrogenase), it did not produce concerted changes in enzymes of glycolysis,
citric acid cycle, or the ETC. The physiological significance of observed
changes in select enzyme activities remains to be determined., We report higher
EE in ShcKO versus WT mice when consuming the HFD. Although decreased levels of
Shc proteins influenced the activity of a central enzyme of ß-oxidation in
response to high-fat feeding, it did not produce concerted changes in enzymes of
glycolysis, citric acid cycle, or the ETC. Thus, an increase in EE in response
to consumption of an HFD may be a mechanism that leads to decreased weight gain
previously reported in ShcKO mice with long-term consumption of an HFD.
