VENTURE OUT TO THE WILD SIDE; THREE SOLID ZOOS NOT FAR FROM MIAMI VALLEY
K The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden is the second-oldest zoo in the United States. It opened in 1875, just 14 months after the Philadelphia Zoo on July 1, 1874. The Reptile House is the oldest zoo building in America (opened 1875). K The zoo was founded on 65 acres in the middle of the city, and since then it has acquired some of the surrounding blocks and several reserves in Cincinnati's outer suburbs. The zoo's urban setting sets it apart from most other American zoos, which are often in suburbia. K The zoo is sometimes called \"The Sexiest Zoo in America\" because of its successful breeding programs, especially cheetahs. K Seven bonobos live at the Cincinnati Zoo. K Martha, the last living passenger pigeon, died at the zoo in 1914; the zoo was also home to the last living Carolina parakeet, which died in 1918. K The annual spring Zoo Blooms is the one of the Midwest's largest collection of tulips. Insider's view: According to regular patron Margerie Kimbrugh, who lives in Fairfield, the Cincinnati Zoo is well worth the trip at least twice a year: In spring and during the winter holidays. \"The tulips are everywhere and they're just amazing -- exactly the right thing to get you ready for the warm weather,\" she said, \"and I believe the animals respond to them, too, though I could be projecting!\" As far as coldweather zoo-travel goes, the Cincinnati Zoo's annual Festival of Lights must be seen to be appreciated, Kimbrugh said. \"It could be cold and snowy, and you're walking around all bundled up thinking about the hot chocolate you'll have, and then an hour later you'll realize you've just been wandering ... It's so beautiful, with all the lights strung up and twinkling. \"Not to take away from the animals -- all of which I enjoy -- but it's the special events in Cincinnati (at the zoo) that make it special for me.\"

Direct mitochondrial import of lactate supports resilient carbohydrate oxidation
Lactate is the highest turnover circulating metabolite in mammals. While traditionally viewed as a waste product, lactate is an important energy source for many organs, but first must be oxidized to pyruvate for entry into the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle). This reaction is thought to occur in the cytosol, with pyruvate subsequently transported into mitochondria via the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC). Using
C stable isotope tracing, we demonstrated that lactate is oxidized in the myocardial tissue of mice even when the MPC is genetically deleted. This MPC-independent lactate import and mitochondrial oxidation is dependent upon the monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1/
). Mitochondria isolated from the myocardium without MCT1 exhibit a specific defect in mitochondrial lactate, but not pyruvate, metabolism. The import and subsequent mitochondrial oxidation of lactate by mitochondrial lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) acts as an electron shuttle, generating sufficient NADH to support respiration even when the TCA cycle is disrupted. In response to diverse cardiac insults, animals with hearts lacking MCT1 undergo rapid progression to heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Thus, the mitochondrial import and oxidation of lactate enables carbohydrate entry into the TCA cycle to sustain cardiac energetics and maintain myocardial structure and function under stress conditions.
