What happens when you mix caffeine and alcohol? In the case of the energy beer Four Loko, things are getting loco.
Twenty students were hospitalized in New Jersey. Nine freshmen girls in central Washington got sent to the ER. Attackers in a brutal anti-gay gang crime in the Bronx reportedly forced a victim to down four cans of the stuff. Police found a crushed can behind the seat of a man who crashed into car, killing a family of three. And a naked intruder who passed out on a woman's couch in Florida said the last thing he remembered was drinking one.
There's no doubt that the energy beer Four Loko packs a punch—it contains 12 percent alcohol and as much caffeine as a weak cup of coffee in every tallboy. While its makers, Phusion Projects LLC, say that's no different than "having coffee after a meal with a couple of glasses of wine" and should not be inherently linked to risky behavior, the flurry of recent news involving the drink has resurrected the ongoing debate over what the beverage industry calls caffeinated alcoholic beverages, or CABs, and what the rest of us calls alco-speed, alco-crack, or simply "blackout in a can."
Last November, after receiving complaints from state attorneys general, the Food and Drug Administration told beverage makers that they would have 30 days to prove that combining alcohol and caffeine was not dangerous or the agency would "take appropriate action to ensure that the products are removed from the marketplace." It's been nearly a year since the threat—and beverage makers and drinkers alike don't seem to be slowing down.
While Miller killed their CAB Sparks and Anheuser-Busch agreed to discontinue Tilt and Bud Extra in 2009, shelves has been flooded with similar drinks from small manufacturers. The products have names like Liquid Charge, Joose, Torque, Hard Wired, 24/7, Catalyst, Moonshot, Evil Eye, Mobius Lager, Smirnoff Raw Tea Malt Beverage, Wide Eye, Lotus Vodka, 3AM Vodka, Vicious Vodka with Caffeine, Slingshot Party Gel, and Ithaca Eleven Malt Beverage with Coffee.
Since the 1980s, sweet, fruity alcoholic beverages have become more prevalent. From wine coolers to "malternatives," like Zima, in the mid-1990s, they've become a full-blown market force (think Mike's Hard Lemonade and Smirnoff Ice.) Because the drinks generally have a lower percentage of alcohol than wine or whiskey, they're subject to lower taxes and, in some states, can be sold at supermarkets. Beverage Retailer magazine told the San Francisco Chronicle in 2000 that fruity malted brews had surpassed wine coolers and comprised $90 million in sales annually. By the time Sparks launched in 2002, the idea of combining fruity alcohols with energy drinks (Red Bull vodka, anyone?) hardly seemed out of place.
The Center for Disease Control says scientific research indicates that people who consume both caffeine and alcohol simultaneously may increase their risk of alcohol-related injuries, getting into a car with a drunken driver, or being taken advantage of sexually. But that might not be compelling enough evidence for the FDA to warrant a ban. Either way, the agency would still have no jurisdiction over bars serving Red Bull vodkas or Jägerbombs.
Perhaps what's at stake are the larger cultural issues around drinking. As Frank Bruni wrote in The New York Times, "[Four Loko is] a malt liquor in confectionary drag … serving as the clearest possible reminder that many drinkers aren't seeking any particular culinary or aesthetic enjoyment. They're taking a drug. The more festively it's dressed and the more vacuously it goes down, the better."
Prohibition came and went for good reason. Still, kids who aren't exposed to drinking in appropriate and safe settings make mistakes, some of which will make the local police blotter. It's entirely possible to drink "blackout in a can" in a reasonable and prudent manner, so maybe a ban is not the answer. What is in order? A better conversation about drinking. In an earlier debate over provisional drinking licenses (essentially a learners' permit for inexperienced drinkers), David J. Hanson offered this bit of advice in The Chronicle of Higher Education: "It's time to open the doors to constructive debate and to teach through trust and potential rather than through blame, accusation, and guilt. It's time to move beyond the forbidden-fruit syndrome—and its tragic consequences."

In a previous job, I helped manage a few nine-figure fortunes -- which was intimidating at first. I mean, an errant mouse click while making a multimillion-dollar trade and you're fired. But eventually the sweats subsided, and I learned the secrets behind this enormous wealth.
How did the holders of these fortunes do it?
In two easy steps ...
First, they picked the right stocks. But their picks weren't the hot-shot fads of the day. Oh, no. A look at their portfolios revealed almost nothing but blue chips such as H.J. Heinz and 3M (NYSE: MMM ) .
Second, they let their investments compound over long periods of time. Most of the fortunes got their start with family patriarchs or matriarchs who never lived to see the nine-figure promised land. (They did, however, live to see eight figures, which still isn't shabby.) Now, as a result of their wisdom and foresight, the family has a financial legacy to pass down over subsequent generations. In fact, many of the beneficiaries of these fortunes live quite comfortably off the dividends from their inheritances.
As much fun as watching paint dry
Now, you probably haven't heard much about the returns of Heinz or 3M lately. That's because they aren't burning up the charts the month the way Wynn Resorts (Nasdaq: WYNN ) has.
Yet many of the nine-figure portfolios had holdings in both companies in excess of $10 million -- with a cost basis of $20,000. That's close to a 50,000% return. Sound impossible with this boring fare? It's not. It just takes time.
For a $20,000 investment to reach $10 million in 50 years, it needs to grow at an annualized rate of 13.2%. According to Wharton professor Jeremy Siegel's most recent book, The Future for Investors, those returns are easier to get when you buy dividend-payers and reinvest their payouts. Fully 86 of the original S&P 500 stocks achieved that 13.2% benchmark from 1957 to 2003. For example:
Company Name (2003) |
Accumulation of $20,000 Over 47 Years |
Annual Return |
Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY ) |
$25.2 million |
16.4% |
Unilever (NYSE: UL ) |
$14.3 million |
15.0% |
DuPont (NYSE: DD ) |
$13.1 million |
14.8% |
Wyeth (NYSE: WYE ) |
$9.5 million |
14.0% |
Not coincidentally, most of the nine-figure fortunes had bought and held some of these very companies for 50 years or more. In some cases, the patriarch instructed his heirs to never sell these positions because they would be the only stocks they'd ever need.
Finding the winners
If you're ready to build your own financial empire, you'll need to start with today's best dividend-payers. If you want some help in that quest, James Early and his Income Investor team can help. They find and recommend companies with quality management, reasonable valuations, and a history of growing dividends -- in other words, stocks worth holding for 50 years.
Give the service a shot with a free 30-day trial. There's no obligation to buy, so what do you have to lose -- besides an empire?

Anti-Piracy pay-tv satellite information site
Anti-Piracy pay-tv satellite information site
Tuesday 2012-12-11
Ten month sentence for owner of illegal card sharing network;
Global security leaders partner with content distributors to combat media piracy in Europe
It was revealed today that global content security companies Irdeto and NAGRA have been working with satellite service provider M7 Group to investigate and disrupt the illegal distribution of pay TV content in Belgium.
As a result of this work, Ahmad Masroor was convicted in the Herselt Court in Belgium charged with operating an illegal commercial control word sharing server on 29 September 2012. Masroor was sentenced to 10 months imprisonment and ordered to forfeit €50,000 in a Paypal account that was used to collect subscriptions to the illegal service.
Said Hans Troelstra, COO, M7 Group: "M7 will continue to fight piracy with both legal and technical means. We have joint forces with CA vendors and other pay TV operators throughout Europe to further increase the effect of our counter measures."
Investigation into the case commenced in 2009 and focused around the website www.CCcam.tv. The site offered pirate subscriptions for a wide range of pay TV content including TV VLAANDEREN, TéléSAT and CanalDigital. Irdeto made a test purchase from the suspect and subsequently provided expert evidence regarding the control word sharing server to the Belgian Economic Inspectorate. Control word sharing piracy poses a major threat to pay TV operators and broadcasters and occurs when a pirate steals and retransmits a regularly changing control word that is passed between a smart card and a set-top-box (STB), allowing subscribers to watch TV content they have not paid for. Upon receiving the evidence, the Belgian Economic Inspectorate raided the premises of the suspect, seizing PC's, laptops, hard drives, servers and business records. Click here to see Exhibit A: CCcam.tv home page, Exhibit B: CCcam.tv pirate subscriptions and Exhibit C: CCcam.tv FAQ.
A security director of the Irdeto Anti-Piracy & Forensics Unit, said, "The result of this case is significant not only for the strong conviction, but is one of the first cases where assets in the form of profits in a Paypal account were forfeited.
"Illegal profit is the primary motivation for pay TV pirates and this judgment sends a forceful deterrent message to other would-be pirates that if you are caught, not only will you face a lengthy prison sentence but you will also lose your ill-gotten gains. The final court result is very pleasing given the months of work put in by Irdeto, NAGRA and the M7 Group to protect our customers from this significant commercial threat. We continue to work closely with our customers and our industry on both technical and legal fronts to address piracy."
Pascal Metral, Principal Corporate Lawyer at NAGRA and Kudelski Security units said, "This decision confirms the trend observed in other territories where such pay-tv piracy leads to numerous and successful prosecutions. Fighting piracy requires a combination of technical and legal countermeasures. We were pleased to bring our expertise and collaborate with M7 and Irdeto in fighting this case and will continue to do so around the globe."

On October 25, 2012 the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia granted DISH Network and NagraStar's motion for default against Adrian Khan. Khan was sued by DISH Network and NagraStar for federal claims arising out of his subscription to the Dark Angel services. The Court's order includes a permanent injunction against Khan as well as an award of $10,000 in statutory damages (the maximum damages per violation) under the Electronics Communication Privacy Act ("ECPA"), an additional $6,050 in fees/costs, and rules that the entire judgment amount is non-dischargeable in the Bankruptcy proceeding Khan filed in an attempt to escape liability. DISH Network and NagraStar continue to investigate and take action against those responsible for trying to circumvent the companies' security system in order to gain unauthorized access to DISH Network programming.

On October 15, 2012 the United States District Court for the Southern District of California entered judgment in DISH Network and NagraStar's favor in their case against Angel Solis and the myfreeneeds.com website. Solis and others were sued in January of 2012 for their operation of the myfreeneeds.com website, and the site's distribution of piracy-related software files. The Court previously entered a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction compelling the website to be taken offline. In addition to the permanent injunction entered by the Court in the October 15th Order, the judge also awarded DISH Network and NagraStar statutory damages in the amount of $12 million under their Federal Communications Act claim. The Court further ordered GoDaddy to transfer the website domains at issue in the case to NagraStar, and ordered Defendants to turn over for impoundment all software files, business records, inventory computer hard drives and servers related to the operation of the myfreeneeds domains to DISH Network's counsel for impoundment.
Tuesday 2012-10-16
On October 11, 2012 the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, Honorable M. James Lorenz, issued an order denying Sonicview's last attempt to challenge the final judgment entered against them and awarding DISH Network and NagraStar over $64,000,000.00 in damages. As previously reported, the Federal District Court granted DISH Network and NagraStar's motion for summary judgment against the Sonicview corporate and individual defendants on May 31, 2012. In that order, the Court found ruled that Sonicview receivers and various add-on devices distributed by the Defendants violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") as well as the Federal Communications Act ("FCA") because they were primarily designed and intended for use in facilitating satellite television piracy. In an effort to seek relief from that Order, the Sonicview Defendants filed various motions to reconsider, set aside or clarify the final judgment entered against them or, alternatively, for a new trial. The Court's October 11, 2012 Order denied each of those motions, and an earlier Order dated September 19, 2012 similarly denied Defendant Courtney Bernard's motion challenging the judgment against him in an additional amount of approximately $1,000,000.00. Bernard and his brother were distributors of the Sonicview products at issue in the litigation. DISH Network and NagraStar will aggressively pursue the enforcement of the judgment and seizure of assets of the Sonicview Defendants, as well as enforcement of the Court's permanent injunction that was issued along with the May 31, 2012 final judgment.

Mangled Bicycle
Category: Outdoor Scenes
Photo and caption by David Baker
I found this sad looking bicycle outside our hotel in Italy. It was apparently run over by a car backing out of a parking spot, and I guess the bicycle owner decided to just abandon his former means of transportation. The bent rear tire is the obvious focal point in the picture.

The American History Guys: Teed Off: The Tea Party, Then and Now [audio, 25 minutes 52 seconds]
The founding fathers have never really gone out of style. But there are times when their popularity surges. Times like now, when conservative protesters routinely take to the streets with three-cornered hats and "Don't Tread on Me" flags.
In this podcast, the History Guys take a closer look at the Tea Party Movement, and ask what, if anything, 2010 has in common with 1773. They also consider what the history of American populism portends for the Tea Party's future.
* Guest Scholar: Benjamin Carp, Tufts University
The History Guys:
- Peter Onuf (18th Century Guy) is the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation Professor of History at the University of Virginia and the author/editor of eleven books, including most recently Nations, Markets, and War: Modern History and the American Civil War.
- 19th Century Guy Ed Ayers, during a broadcast of BackStory, at the Va Foundation for the Humanities Studio in Charlottesville, June 2009
- Ed Ayers (19th Century Guy) is President of the University of Richmond. Previously, he served as Hugh P.

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

Nothing is more disappointing than unappreciated sarcasm
I'm an outgoing and outdoors person who is looking for someone that loves and appreciates life as much as I do. I love exploring new areas and will find any excuse to pick up and travel. From wine tasting on weekends to watching football on Sundays, I make sure to enjoy all life's pleasures. I probably spend too much money on country concerts and you will most definitely find me in my cowboy boots. I have been told I am kind of a workaholic, but I love what I do and never take any of it for granted. I am truly blessed. I would love to meet someone who has the same passion for life as I do but also doesn't take life too seriously. I have a big heart and would love meet someone who has the same.

Rich Froning Wins Fourth Consecutive Men's CrossFit Games Title
Rich Froning, the biggest name in the sport of fitness, retired Sunday from individual competition after winning his fourth straight CrossFit Games title at the StubHub Center in Carson, CA. The World's Fittest Man was hungrier, more aggressive, and completely dominant in the final day of competition. He claimed first place in all three events on Sunday, ending with Double Grace – 60 reps of clean and jerks (at 135 pounds). Mat Fraser of the Northeast region finished second overall and Northern California favorite Jason Khalipa took third.
CrossFit Confessions: Real Stories of CrossFit from Real People>>
Froning, who signed a long-term deal with Reebok just prior to the CrossFit Games, appeared off his game early in the competition and later admitted he had been sick leading up to the event. On Thursday, he was 37th in the Triple 3 event and didn't place in some other events. "I never really got discouraged," he said. "If it's not meant to be, then it's not meant to be, and it's someone else's time." That someone else will have to wait until next year.
"It's a blessing that's for sure, it has been sweeter and sweeter each time. I can't thanks the fans enough," said the 27-year-old after winning the title. Froning plans to concentrate on group events next year. "Thanks everybody, it's been a blast. I am not retiring, I am just switching gears."

Meanwhile, Canadian Camille LeBlanc-Bazinet won her first CrossFit Games championship after heading into Sunday's events with a 100-point lead. Former two-time champ Annie Thorisdottir claimed two of Sunday's individual events and earned a second-place finish in the Thick 'n Quick event (four 25-foot rope climbs and three 165-pound overhead squats) in her strongest day of competition to come up for second place overall. Julie Foucher followed in third. CrossFit Invictus took the team competition with 935 points.

Véronique Benei Stanford University Press (2008)
Schooling Passions explores an important, yet often overlooked dimension of nationalism - its embodied and emotional components. It does so by focusing on another oft-neglected area, that of elementary education in the modern state. Through an ethnographic study of schools in western India, Véronique Benei examines the idioms through which teachers, students, and parents make meaning of their political world. She articulates how urban middle and lower-class citizens negotiate the processes of self-making through the minutiae of daily life at school and extracurricular activities, ranging from school trips to competitions and parent gatherings. To document how processes of identity formation are embodied, Benei draws upon cultural repertoires of emotionality.
This book shifts the typical focus of attention away from communal violence onto everyday 'banal nationalism.' Paying due attention to the formulation of 'senses of belonging,' this book explores the sensory production and daily manufacture of nationhood and citizenship and how nationalism is nurtured in a nation's youth.
Dr Véronique Benei is a visiting senior fellow in the Department of Anthropology at LSE.

'Benei's compelling ethnography is much more than a book about schooling; it's about schooling in the service of the nation, how schooling functions to create citizens, and how nationalism is inculcated in our youth. I have seldom read a more powerful, beautifully written book.' Susan Wadley, Syracuse University
'Schooling Passions is a major contribution to the study of nationalism and to the burgeoning field of anthropology of emotions. Benei's book is a rich ethnographic study of mundane educational practices based on a deep understanding of their historical context. She pays meticulous attention to the details of language use, to songs and to the everyday disciplines of schooling in western India. Benei's broad theoretical scope enables her to analyze emotions and the corporeal, while also reminding us that language is at the heart of cultural and political passions: what matters is how, when, and in which style, one declares one's love for the nation.' Thomas Blom Hansen, University of Amsterdam

I'd love to hear your thoughts if you're tried it.
i really enjoyed it when i ate there with a group in july - everything was tasty, a nice room and good service - i hope to go back!!

It's a great place to eat tapas (very tasty) and drink cocktails. Good selection of Latin American rums eg cachaca. Interesting multilevel space that sort of winds upwards. Good ambiance.

I really enjoy Cobre. Nice space with clean lines and dark wood. Tapas are delicious. Interesting cocktail menu.
On the 17th they're apparently donating 100% of the food profit to the Food Bank.
re: twinkienic
It's been 13 months so FWIW here's what I said about our visit to Cobre on Oct 30/07:
We had two orders each of the pulled duck, fish, chorizo and poblano tacos, 2 orders of chicken taquitos, 2 orders of skirt steak, 1 order of short ribs, 1 goat cheese and eggplant empanada, 1 cheese pupusa, 1 tomato soup, one special of short ribs, all three desserts on offer and five beverages for $300, tax and tip in. Did I mention there were six of us?
Everything was tasty, with the standouts being the tacos and the skirt steak (which they call vaca frita, a bit literally IMHO). The flavours in each dish were well delineated and nothing was over or undercooked or seasoned. The one minor disappointment was the short rib special which was a little tough and a mite oversauced but it still wasn't bad, just not in league with the other dishes. Each of us had a different favourite among the desserts which were a baked chocolate, dulce de leche and horchata creme brulee. The menu is designed for sharing, and the waiter suggested doubling up on the tacos because there are three per order which was good. Service in general was solid, and the room is inviting (I think the upper loft area is the nicest of the three levels). The website is helpful and the menu gives more details about specific ingredients if you're interested. I would recommend this as a relaxed place for a reasonably priced dinner, or a snack with drinks (they have a whole range of Latin-inspired libations such as the pisco sour I enjoyed).
We tried it early summer and loved it! Definitely part of the new bright lights in Gastown. Great flavour combinations, creative dishes, and one of the few good quality Latin restaurants in town. Low key decor and excellent service complete the package.

In keeping with my mapping topics I have another inline XSLT scenario. In my last XSLT scenario entry I discussed grouping by countries and then cities.
In this entry I want to look at a somewhat related scenario. In this scenario I receive an instance document that contains account numbers and associated amounts. We need the account numbers grouped and the amounts summed by account number.
The instance document looks like:
<ns0:Root xmlns:ns0="http://Blogtopic.SchemaSrc">
<Row ID="1" AccountNbr="1001" Amount="1000" />
<Row ID="2" AccountNbr="1001" Amount="1000" />
<Row ID="3" AccountNbr="2002" Amount="1000" />
<Row ID="4" AccountNbr="1001" Amount="1000" />
<Row ID="5" AccountNbr="3003" Amount="1000" />
<Row ID="6" AccountNbr="2002" Amount="1000" />
The source schema looks like:
And the destination schema looks like:
As mentioned in my last XSLT blog entry there isn't a way to group records in the BizTalk Mapper so we will use a script functoid with custom XSLT.
The first thing we will need to do is to drag a Script functoid onto the Grid. Then drag a line to the element that we will create the output for. Again, with the inline XLST functionality we are required to produce the output for all of the elements underneath the records our functoid is attached to. So in this example we are responsible for creating all of the content under the Destination record.
The map will look like this:
The following XSLT can be cut and paste (without the line numbers) into the Inline Script Buffer section of the script functoid after the Script Type drop down has been set to Inline XSLT
To create the output in the format that we want we will start with the following XLST.
<xsl:variable name="unique-accountNbr"
select="//Source/Row[not(@AccountNbr=preceding-sibling::Row/@AccountNbr)]/@AccountNbr" />
This creates a variable named unique-accountNbr and populates it with the list of unique account numbers. Now we need to output the nodes and loop through the account numbers. The following code will accomplish that.
1. <Destination>
2. <xsl:for-each select="$unique-accountNbr">
3. <Account>
4. <xsl:variable name="accountSum" select="sum(//Source/Row[@AccountNbr=current()]/@Amount)" />
5. <xsl:attribute name="AccountNbr">
6. <xsl:value-of select="current()" />
7. </xsl:attribute>
8. <xsl:attribute name="AccountSum">
9. <xsl:value-of select="$accountSum" />
10. </xsl:attribute>
11. </Account>
12. </xsl:for-each>
13. </Destination>
Lets walk through this code.
Lines 1 and 13 create the Destination node output and close the node.
Line 2 creates the loop that will loop through all of the unique account numbers.
Lines 3 and 11 create the Account node output and close the node
Line 4 creates another variable for the sum of the amounts by account number
Lines 5 and 7 create the AccountNbr attribute and close it
Line 6 takes the current account number in the loop and writes the value to the attribute
Lines 8, 9 and 10 repeat what was just done for the AccountNbr attribute but this time for the AccountSum attribute. Also notice that the value of the accountsum variable is used.
This code will loop through as many unique account numbers as are contained in the input document. Then for each unique account number the code will sum up all of the Amount attributes associated with the unique account numbers.
The output looks like this:
<ns0:Root xmlns:ns0="http://BlogTopic.SchemaDst">
<Account AccountNbr="1001" AccountSum="3000"></Account>
<Account AccountNbr="2002" AccountSum="2000"></Account>
<Account AccountNbr="3003" AccountSum="1000"></Account>

Acute Inhibition of Fatty Acid Import Inhibits GLUT4 Transcription in Adipose Tissue, but Not Skeletal or Cardiac Muscle Tissue, Partly Through Liver X Receptor (LXR) Signaling

OBJECTIVE Insulin-mediated glucose uptake is highly sensitive to the levels of the facilitative GLUT protein GLUT4. Transcription of the GLUT4 gene is repressed in states of insulin deficiency and insulin resistance and can be induced by states of enhanced energy output, such as exercise. The cellular signals that regulate GLUT4 transcription are not well understood. We hypothesized that changes in energy substrate flux regulate GLUT4 transcription.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS To test this hypothesis, we used transgenic mice in which expression of the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene is driven by a functional 895-bp fragment of the human GLUT4 promoter, thereby acting as a reporter for transcriptional activity. Mice were treated with a single dose of etomoxir, which inhibits the transport of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria and increases basal, but not insulin-mediated, glucose flux. GLUT4 and transgenic CAT mRNA were measured.
RESULTS Etomoxir treatment significantly reduced CAT and GLUT4 mRNA transcription in adipose tissue, but did not change transcription in heart and skeletal muscle. Downregulation of GLUT4 transcription was cell autonomous, since etomoxir treatment of 3T3-L1 adipocytes resulted in a similar downregulation of GLUT4 mRNA. GLUT4 transcriptional downregulation required the putative liver X receptor (LXR) binding site in the human GLUT4 gene promoter in adipose tissue and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Treatment of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with the LXR agonist, TO901317, partially restored GLUT4 expression in etomoxir-treated cells.
CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that long-chain fatty acid import into mitochondria in adipose tissue may produce ligands that regulate expression of metabolic genes.
