Abstract: High-fat diet (HFD) and exercise remodel skeletal muscle mitochondria. The electron transfer flavoproteins (ETF) transfer reducing equivalents from Ξ²-oxidation into the electron transfer system. Exercise may stimulate the synthesis of ETF proteins to increase lipid respiration. We determined mitochondrial remodeling for lipid respiration through ETF in the context of higher mitochondrial abundance/capacity seen in female mice. We hypothesized HFD would be a greater stimulus than exercise to remodel ETF and lipid pathways through increased protein synthesis alongside increased lipid respiration. Female C57BL/6J mice (n = 15 per group) consumed HFD or low-fat diet (LFD) for 4 weeks then remained sedentary (SED) or completed 8 weeks of treadmill training (EX). We determined mitochondrial lipid respiration, RNA abundance, individual protein synthesis, and abundance for ETFΞ±, ETFΞ², and ETF dehydrogenase (ETFDH). HFD increased absolute and relative lipid respiration (p = 0.018 and p = 0.034) and RNA abundance for ETFΞ± (p = 0.026), ETFΞ² (p = 0.003), and ETFDH (p = 0.0003). HFD increased synthesis for ETFΞ± and ETFDH (p = 0.0007 and p = 0.002). EX increased synthesis of ETFΞ² and ETFDH (p = 0.008 and p = 0.006). Higher synthesis rates of ETF were not always reflected in greater protein abundance. Greater synthesis of ETF during HFD indicates mitochondrial remodeling which may contribute higher mitochondrial lipid respiration through enhanced ETF function. β’ Keywords: Exercise, Females, High-fat feeding, Mitochondrial respiration, Skeletal muscle β’ Bioblast editor: Plangger M β’ O2k-Network Lab: US CO Colorado Springs Jacobs RA, US OK Oklahoma City Miller BF, US OR Corvallis Robinson MM
