Cardiac peroxisomal enzymes and starvation.

In mice subjected to 3-day periods of food deprivation an increase in plasma free fatty acids occurred together with a rise in the cardiac content of fatty acyl CoA-oxidase (+ 15.2%) and catalase (+ 136.2%) activities. Stimulation of hydrogen peroxide production by the heart was found after 30 hours of fasting and this phenomenon was almost completely eliminated by 6 hours of refeeding. These data suggest that high myocardial loads of free fatty acids involve the peroxisomal enzymes in the beta-oxidation process. The resulting increase in hydrogen peroxide production could be partly responsible for the myocardial injury caused by starvation.[1]
