BT2 (20 mg/kg/day; intraperitoneal injection; daily; for 7 days; C57BL/6J male mice) treatment robustly enhances BCKDC activity in the heart (12.3-fold) compared with the vehicle-treated animals. Less activation is obtained in muscle and kidney at 3.6- and 3.8-fold, respectively. The -fold activation of BCKDC activity in the above tissues correlates with decreased phosphorylation in heart, muscle, and kidney after the long term BT2 treatment. BT2 treatment reduces the protein levels of BDK in kidneys and heart[1]. Animal Model: C57BL/6J male mice (8-10-week-old)[1] Dosage: 20 mg/kg/day Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; daily; for 1 week Result: BCKDC activity was robustly (12.3-fold) enhanced in the heart compared with the vehicle-treated animals. Less activation was obtained in muscle and kidney at 3.6- and 3.8-fold, respectively. The protein levels of BDK in kidneys and heart were reduced to averages of 39 and 24%, respectively.
