Passage
Whole grains have been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disorders.  A team of scientists discovered that the compound 5-aminovaleric acid betaine (5-AVAB) was present at high levels in cardiomyocytes of mice given a diet rich in whole grains and decided to investigate its role in metabolism.  Preliminary evidence indicated that 5-AVAB did not alter the citric acid cycle in these cardiomyocytes, but that it did alter fatty acid metabolism.The plasma membrane transport protein organic cation/carnitine transporter 2 (OCTN2) transports extracellular L-carnitine into the cell against its concentration gradient using the energy provided by the simultaneous transport of Na+ into the cell.  Cellular L-carnitine is required for the transport of fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondria.  Based on the structures of 5-AVAB and L-carnitine (Figure 1) , scientists hypothesized that 5-AVAB may interfere with OCTN2-mediated transport of L-carnitine.
