N2 - Organs are flexible as to which substrates they will use to maintain energy homeostasis. Under well-fed conditions, glucose is a preferred substrate for oxidation. During fasting, fatty acid oxidation will become a more important energy source. Glucose oxidation is decreased by fatty acids, a process in which the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH) and its regulator pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) play important roles. It is currently unknown how energy status influences PDH activity. We show that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation by hypoxia and AICAR treatment combined with fatty acid administration synergistically induce PDK4 expression. We provide evidence that AMPK activation modulates ligand-dependent activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor. Finally, we show that this synergistic induction of PDK4 decreases cellular glucose oxidation. In conclusion, AMPK and fatty acids play a direct role in fuel selection in response to cellular energy status in order to spare glucose
