| Abstract: | An electrophoretic and enzyme-substrate staining technique for acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACD) enzymes was developed for use with small (less than 100 mg) tissue samples. Based on their electrophoretic mobility and substrate staining specificity, at least two and perhaps three chain-length specific enzymes for dehydrogenation of saturated fatty acids were found in human skeletal muscle. ACD enzymes staining with octanoyl-CoA or palmitoyl-CoA were identified by this technique in human skeletal muscle, heart, and liver, but the ACD enzyme staining with butyryl-CoA was difficult to detect and was definitely visualized only in skeletal muscle. |
