Abstract

NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is a flavoprotein that utilizes NAD(P)H as an electron donor, catalyzing the two-electron reduction and detoxification of quinones and their derivatives. NQO1-/- mice deficient in NQO1 activity and protein were generated in our laboratory (Rajendirane, V., Joseph, P., Lee, Y. H., Kimura, S., Klein-Szanto, A. J. P., Gonzalez, F. J., and Jaiswal, A. K. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 7382-7389). Mice lacking a functional NQO1 gene (NQO1-/-) were born normal and reproduced adeptly as the wild-type NQO1+/+ mice. In the present report, we show that NQO1-/- mice exhibit significantly lower levels of abdominal adipose tissue as compared with the wild-type mice. The NQO1-/- mice showed lower blood levels of glucose, no change in insulin, and higher levels of triglycerides, beta-hydroxy butyrate, pyruvate, lactate, and glucagon as compared with wild-type mice. Insulin tolerance test demonstrated that the NQO1-/- mice are insulin resistant. The NQO1-/- mice livers also showed significantly higher levels of triglycerides, lactate, pyruvate, and glucose. The liver glycogen reserve was found decreased in NQO1-/- mice as compared with wild-type mice. The livers and kidneys from NQO1-/- mice also showed sign...Continue Reading
