Connective tissue cells that are histochemically and morphologically distinct from 'fibroblasts' are localized around developing hair follicles in the pig and rat. Immature adipose tissue is limited to small areas immediately around fully descended hair follicles in the rat hypodermis. In the present study, connective tissue around large nerves and blood vessels in fetal pig subcutaneous tissue was examined for the presence of enzymes typical of adipocytes. Samples from decapitated pig fetuses were studied so that the effects of an altered hormonal profile could be examined. Samples of dorsal subcutaneous adipose tissue were obtained from fetuses at 65, 70, 85, 90, 110, and 112 days of gestation. Fetuses were decapitated in utero at 45 days of gestation, and adipose tissue samples were obtained from these fetuses at 110 days of gestation. A close spatial relationship was observed between the growth of large blood vessels and nerves and fat cell cluster development in the older (greater than 70 days) fetuses. Connective tissue cells that were contiguous with fat cell clusters were histochemically identical to adipocytes. The lipid histochemistry of the reactive connective tissue cells (histochemically identical to adipocytes) was variable in young fetuses. In all 110-and 112-day-old fetuses, the reactive cells contained lipid, whereas the reactive cells in decapitated fetuses were devoid of lipid. The reactive connective tissue cells were not associated with capillaries and did not contain basement membranes. The histochemistry of these cells suggests that they respond to a particular hormonal or metabolic profile as do adipocytes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Expression of lipoprotein lipase in different human subcutaneous adipose tissue regions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Steady state expression of lipoprotein lipase was compared in abdominal and gluteal subcutaneous adipose tissue of nonobese men and women. In both regions enzyme activity and lipoprotein lipase mRNA levels were significantly higher in women than in men. In men the enzyme activity was higher in abdominal than in gluteal adipose tissue (P less than 0.01) whereas the opposite was observed in women (P less than 0.05). In both sexes, however, lipoprotein lipase mRNA levels were threefold higher in the abdominal as compared to the gluteal site, whether they were determined in isolated fat cells or in fat segments (P less than 0.01). This regional difference persisted when the mRNA values were expressed as a function of the mRNA concentration for beta-actin. There was a correlation between the two adipose tissue regions as regards the values for enzyme activity and mRNA level (r = 0.6-0.8). Northern blot analysis revealed two mRNA species of 3.5 and 3.7 kilobases, respectively. It is concluded that there are regional variations in the steady state expression of lipoprotein lipase in human subcutaneous adipose tissue. This involves site variations in gene expression as well as posttranslational modification of lipoprotein lipase enzyme activity and may contribute to the characteristic variations in adipose tissue mass and distribution between men and women. 相似文献

Primary cultures of stromal-vascular cells of adipose tissue from fetuses at 70 and 110 days of gestation were evaluated as potential model systems for studies of fetal adipocyte differentiation and proliferation. In the cultures, fat cells developed as very discrete clusters. Fat cell cluster development was dependent on initial cell density and time. Histochemical analysis for NADP-dependent dehydrogenases revealed an age of donor effect. Similar levels of enzymes (malate and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) were apparent in fat cell clusters and stromal cells in cultures of cells from fetuses at 70 days of gestation. These enzymes were only present in fat cell clusters in cultures of cells from fetuses at 110 days of gestation. The distribution of histochemically detectable esterase activity was dependent on the cell density at time of analysis. In areas of high cell density, esterase was restricted to fat cell clusters whereas, both stromal cells and fat cells were esterase reactive in areas of low cell density. Omitting PMS from the dehydrogenase media revealed differences in enzyme reactions of cells grown on collagen-coated and uncoated glass surfaces. These studies demonstrate that primary cultures of stromal-vascular cells from 110-day-old fetuses would be a useful system to identify factors involved in adipocyte proliferation and differentiation. 相似文献

Histochemistry and electron microscopy were used to study the adrenergic innervation of subcutaneous adipose tissue in fetal pigs. Adrenergic innervation was present around arteries, arterioles, and adipocyte-associated capillaries. Nerve fibers were infrequently observed around veins, venules, and adipocytes. Ultrastructural features of nerves included mitochondria, clear synaptic vesicles, and a small number of vesicles with a core of electron-dense material. Innervation of adipose tissue was similar in 70-, 90-, and 110-day-old fetuses. Examination of fetuses decapitated at 45 days of gestation and removed at 110 days showed that adrenergic innervation was absent in adipose tissue of decapitated fetuses. Adrenergic innervation was also absent in adipose tissue from fetuses hypophysectomized at 72-73 days of gestation and examined at 110 days. These data indicate that fetal porcine adipose tissue may be under neural control by day 70 of gestation. Furthermore, an intact pituitary is necessary for the development of adrenergic innervation in fetal adipose tissue. 相似文献

Objective: Abdominal visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) display significant metabolic differences, with VAT showing a functional association to metabolic/cardiovascular disorders. A third abdominal adipose layer, derived by the division of SAT and identified as deep subcutaneous adipose tissue (dSAT), may play a significant and independent metabolic role. The aim of this study was to evaluate depot‐specific differences in the expression of proteins key to adipocyte metabolism in a lean population to establish a potential physiologic role for dSAT. Research Methods and Procedures: Adipocytes and preadipocytes were isolated from whole biopsies taken from superficial SAT (sSAT), dSAT, and VAT samples obtained from 10 healthy normal weight patients (7 women and 3 men), with a mean age of 56.4 ± 4.04 years and a mean BMI of 23.1 ± 0.5 kg/m2. Samples were evaluated for depot‐specific differences in insulin sensitivity using adiponectin, glucose transport protein 4 (GLUT4), and resistin mRNA and protein expression, glucocorticoid metabolism by 11β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type‐1 (11β‐HSD1) expression, and alterations in the adipokines leptin and tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α). Results: Although no regional differences in expression were observed for adiponectin or TNF‐α, dSAT whole biopsies and adipocytes, while intermediary to both sSAT and VAT, reflected more of the VAT expression profile of 11β‐HSD1, leptin, and resistin. Only in the case of the intracellular pool of GLUT4 proteins in whole biopsies was an independent pattern of expression observed for dSAT. In an evaluation of the homeostatic model, dSAT 11β‐HSD1 protein (r = 0.9573, p = 0.0002) and TNF‐α mRNA (r = 0.8210, p = 0.0236) correlated positively to the homeostatic model. Discussion: Overall, dSAT seems to be a distinct abdominal adipose depot supporting an independent metabolic function that may have a potential role in the development of obesity‐associated complications. 相似文献

Subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness (SCATT) has for many years been measured using skinfold calipers, but calipers have several disadvantages, not least that they compress the skinfold. Measuring SCATT using ultrasound was validated by comparing thicknesses at 12 sites with soft-tissue radiographs in 24 adults and with depth gauge measurements on a cadaver. Correlation coefficients ranged from 0.87 to 0.99, and the regression statistics showed no significant difference between ultrasound and the other procedures. The standard errors of estimate of body density from SCATT measured by calipers and ultrasound in 63 young men was +/- 7.8 and 7.3 kg X m-3, respectively. Although problems in the identification of the adipose tissue-muscle interface can arise, ultrasound is a viable alternative to skinfold calipers and is to be preferred when measuring uncompressed SCATT. 相似文献

Glyceroneogenesis, a metabolic pathway that participates during lipolysis in the recycling of free fatty acids to triglycerides into adipocytes, contributes to the lipid-buffering function of adipose tissue. We investigated whether glyceroneogenesis could be affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitors (PIs) responsible or not for dyslipidemia in HIV-infected patients. We treated explants obtained from subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) depots from lean individuals. We observed that the dyslipidemic PIs nelfinavir, lopinavir and ritonavir, but not the lipid-neutral PI atazanavir, increased lipolysis and decreased glyceroneogenesis, leading to an increased release of fatty acids from SAT but not from VAT. At the same time, dyslipidemic PIs decreased the amount of perilipin and increased interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) secretion in SAT but not in VAT. Parthenolide, an inhibitor of the NFκB pathway, counteracted PI-induced increased inflammation and decreased glyceroneogenesis. IL-6 (100 ng) inhibited the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, the key enzyme of glyceroneogenesis, in SAT but not in VAT. Our data show that dyslipidemic but not lipid-neutral PIs decreased glyceroneogenesis as a consequence of PI-induced increased inflammation in SAT that could have an affect on adipocytes and/or macrophages. These results add a new link between fat inflammation and increased fatty acids release and suggest a greater sensitivity of SAT than VAT to PI-induced inflammation. 相似文献

The relationship between subcutaneous and visceral adipocyte metabolism and development has been extensively studied in adult but not in pediatric tissue. Our aim was to isolate, develop, characterize, and compare primary cell cultures of subcutaneous and visceral preadipocytes from 16 normal prepubertal children (10 male and 6 female). Subculture techniques were developed to increase cell number and allow differentiation using a chemically defined serum-free medium. Removal of insulin from the differentiation medium prevented adipogenesis in both subcutaneous and visceral preadipocytes, whereas coincubation with rosiglitazone markedly enhanced glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma expression, and triglyceride accumulation in cells from both fat depots. Adiponectin secretion increased with differentiation from undetectable levels at day 0. Histological analyses demonstrated significant differences in lipid droplet number and size, with subcutaneous cells having fewer but larger vesicles compared with visceral cells. Downregulation and reorganization of the cytoskeleton appeared comparable. We further demonstrate regional differences in adipogenesis manipulation. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha was more effective at inhibiting differentiation in subcutaneous cells, whereas insulin-like growth factor-I stimulated differentiation more effectively in visceral cells. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 enhanced differentiation equally. These observations may have important physiological and pharmacological implications for the development of obesity in later life. 相似文献

Adrenomedullin (AM) is a potent vasodilating peptide originally isolated from human pheochromocytoma cells. This report concerns the expression and secretion of AM from adipose tissue. Northern blot analysis demonstrated marked expression of AM mRNA in mouse adipose tissue. Expression levels in adipose tissues were 2.5-3.2 times higher than in the kidney. AM mRNA level in mature adipocytes was 7.3 times higher than in the stroma-vascular fraction of adipose tissue. In mature adipocyte culture, time-dependent increase of AM peptide concentration in the culture medium was detected. AM expression was also detected in human subcutaneous adipose tissue. Adipose AM expression significantly increased in obesity mouse model, high-fat diet fed mice and ob/ob mice. These results suggest that adipose tissue, especially mature adipocytes, is major source of AM in the body, and that adipocyte-derived AM plays a pathophysiological role in obesity. 相似文献

The objectives of this paper are to explore the potential of the ultrasound technique to quantify subcutaneous adipose tissue, and to explain the differences between skinfolds and ultrasound measurements across a large range of ages and levels of adiposity. The sample consisted of 115 men and 117 women aged 35 to 51 years, 132 girls and 145 boys aged 12 to 20 years. Subcutaneous fat thickness was measured at four sites using skinfolds calipers, and at seven sites using a real-time B-mode ultrasound scanner. Anthropometric measurements were obtained, and percent body fat was estimated using electric impedance. The agreement between skinfolds and ultrasound measurements was calculated for each age and sex group. The agreement between techniques, and the levels of correlation between body composition and fatness measurements were high in the sample of young men. However, the results were less consistent in the other groups. Site specific differences were also noted. 相似文献

Whereas truncal (central) adiposity is strongly associated with the insulin resistant metabolic syndrome, it is uncertain whether this is accounted for principally by visceral adiposity (VAT). Several recent studies find as strong or stronger association between subcutaneous abdominal adiposity (SAT) and insulin resistance. To reexamine the issue of truncal adipose tissue depots, we performed cross-sectional abdominal computed tomography, and we undertook the novel approach of partitioning SAT into the plane superficial to the fascia within subcutaneous adipose tissue (superficial SAT) and that below this fascia (deep SAT), as well as measurement of VAT. Among 47 lean and obese glucose-tolerant men and women, insulin-stimulated glucose utilization, measured by euglycemic clamp, was strongly correlated with both VAT and deep SAT (r = -0.61 and -0.64, respectively; both P < 0.001), but not with superficial SAT (r = -0.29, not significant). Also, VAT and deep SAT followed a highly congruent pattern of associations with glucose and insulin area under the curve (75-g oral glucose tolerance test), mean arterial blood pressure, apoprotein-B, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride. Superficial SAT had markedly weaker association with all these parameters and instead followed the pattern observed for thigh subcutaneous adiposity. We conclude that there are two functionally distinct compartments of adipose tissue within abdominal subcutaneous fat and that the deep SAT has a strong relation to insulin resistance. 相似文献

We examined plasma and fat tissue sex steroid levels in a sample of 28 men aged 24.8-62.2 years (average BMI value of 46.3 +/- 12.7 kg/m(2)). Abdominal adipose tissue biopsies were obtained during general or obesity surgery. Omental and subcutaneous adipose tissue steroid levels were measured by gas chromatography and chemical ionization mass spectrometry after appropriate extraction procedures. BMI and waist circumference were negatively correlated with plasma testosterone (r = -0.49 and -0.50, respectively, p < 0.01) and dihydrotestosterone (r = -0.58 and -0.56, respectively, p < 0.01), and positively associated with estrone levels (r = 0.64 and 0.62, respectively, p < 0.001). Regional differences in adipose tissue steroid levels were observed for dihydrotestosterone (p < 0.005), androstenedione (p < 0.0001) and dehydroepiandrosterone levels (p < 0.05), which were all significantly more concentrated in omental versus subcutaneous fat. Positive significant associations were found between circulating level of a steroid and its concentration in omental and subcutaneous adipose tissue, for estrone (r = 0.72 and 0.57, respectively, p < 0.01), testosterone (r = 0.66 and 0.58, respectively, p < 0.01) and dihydrotestosterone (r = 0.58 and 0.45, respectively, p < 0.05). Positive correlations were observed between plasma dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate and omental (r = 0.56, p < 0.01) as well as subcutaneous adipose tissue dehydroepiandrosterone level (r = 0.38, p = 0.05). Positive significant associations were found between omental adipocyte responsiveness to positive lipolytic stimuli (isoproterenol, dibutyryl cyclic AMP and forskolin) and plasma or omental fat tissue androgen levels. In conclusion, although plasma androgen or estrogen levels are strong correlates of adipose tissue steroid content both in the omental and subcutaneous fat depots, regional differences may be observed. Androgen concentration differences in omental versus subcutaneous adipose tissue suggest a depot-specific impact of these hormones on adipocyte function and metabolism. 相似文献

Beiging of white adipose tissue (WAT) has beneficial effects on metabolism. Although it is known that beige adipocytes are active in lipid catabolism and thermogenesis, how they are regulated deserves more explorations. In this study, we demonstrate that stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) in subcutaneous WAT (scWAT) responded to cold stimulation and was able to promote mobilization of triacylglycerol [TAG (triglyceride)]. In vitro studies showed that SCD1 promoted lipolysis in C3H10T1/2 white adipocytes. The lipolytic effect was contributed by one of SCD1’s products, oleic acid (OA). OA upregulated adipose TAG lipase and hormone-sensitive lipase expression. When SCD1 was overexpressed in the scWAT of mice, lipolysis was enhanced, and oxygen consumption and heat generation were increased. These effects were also demonstrated by the SCD1 knockdown experiments in mice. In conclusion, our study suggests that SCD1, known as an enzyme for lipid synthesis, plays a role in upregulating lipid mobilization through its desaturation product, OA. 相似文献
