December 2006 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry” The study explored how altering the expression of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (SSAT) affected fat metabolism in mice. Transgenic mice overexpressing SSAT showed increased metabolic activity through the polyamine pathway, resulting in a leaner phenotype with reduced white adipose acetyl- and malonyl-CoA pools and enhanced glucose and palmitate oxidation. In contrast, SSAT knockout mice had decreased metabolic flux, increased body fat, and lower oxidation rates, especially on a high-fat diet. These results indicated that SSAT expression influenced acetyl- and malonyl-CoA levels, affecting fatty acid biosynthesis and oxidation, and thus body fat accumulation. The study underscored the role of SSAT in polyamine metabolism and its impact on fat metabolism via acetyl-CoA modulation.
