Objective: In vitro, insulin and endothelin (ET) both modulate adiponectin secretion from adipocyte cell lines. The current studies were performed to assess whether endogenous ET contributes to the acute action of insulin infusions on adiponectin levels in vivo in humans. Research Methods and Procedures: We studied 17 lean and 20 obese subjects (BMI 21.8 ± 2.2 and 34.0 ± 5.0 kg/m2, respectively). Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp studies were performed using insulin infusion rates of 10, 30, or 300 mU/m2 per minute alone or with concurrent infusion of BQ123, an antagonist of type A ET receptors. Circulating adiponectin levels were assessed at baseline and after achievement of steady‐state glucose with the insulin infusion. Results: Adiponectin levels were lower in obese than lean subjects (6.76 ± 3.66 vs. 8.37 ± 2.79 μg/mL, p = 0.0148 adjusted for differences across gender). Insulin infusions suppressed adiponectin by a mean of 7.8% (p < 0.0001). In a subset of 13 lean and 14 obese subjects for whom data with and without BQ123 were available, there was no evident effect of BQ123 to modulate clamp‐associated suppression of adiponectin (p = 0.16). Surprisingly, there was no evident relationship between steady‐state insulin concentrations and adiponectin suppression (r = 0.14, p = 0.30), and again no effect of BQ123 to modify this relationship was seen. Discussion: Despite baseline differences in adiponectin levels, we observed equal suppression of adiponectin with insulin infusions in lean and obese subjects. ET receptor antagonism with BQ123 did not modulate this effect, suggesting that endogenous ET does not have a role in modifying the acute effects of insulin on adiponectin production and/or disposition. 相似文献

Objective: Because leptin production by adipose tissue is under hormonal control, we examined the impact of epinephrine administration on plasma leptin concentrations. Research Methods and Procedures: We measured plasma leptin, insulin, and free fatty acid (FFA) responses after a 60-minute epinephrine infusion (0.010 μg/kg fat free mass/min) followed by a 30-minute recovery period (no infusion) in a group of 11 lean (mean body mass index ± SD: 22.6 ± 1.1 kg/m2) and 15 obese (30.0 ± 1.3 kg/m2) premenopausal women. Leptin, insulin, and FFA levels were measured in plasma before (−15 and 0 minutes) and at every 30 minutes over the 90-minute period. Results: In both lean and obese individuals, plasma leptin was significantly reduced by epinephrine (p < 0.0001). Body fat mass was associated with fasting leptin levels (r = 0.64, p < 0.0005) as well as with the decrease in leptinemia (r = −0.51, p < 0.01) produced by epinephrine administration. Furthermore, we noted a large range of leptin response to epinephrine among our subjects, especially in obese women (from −12 to −570 ng/mL per 60 minutes). However, there was no association between postepinephrine leptin and FFA levels (r = −0.14, p = 0.55). Discussion: Results of this study indicate that leptin levels decrease after epinephrine administration in both lean and obese premenopausal women. However, the heterogeneity in the response of leptin to catecholamines suggests potential alterations of the leptin axis that may contribute to generate a positive energy balance and, thus, may favor weight gain in some obese individuals. 相似文献

This study tests the hypothesis that a high‐fat postnatal diet increases fat mass and reduces improved insulin sensitivity (IS) found in the low‐protein model of maternal undernutrition. Offspring from Wistar dams fed either a 20% (control (CON)) or 8% (low protein (LP)) protein diet during gestation and lactation were randomly assigned to a control (con) or cafeteria (caf) diet at weaning (21 days) until 3 months of age at which point IS was measured (hyperinsulinemic–euglycemic clamp). Fat mass, growth, energy intake (EI) and expenditure (EE), fuel utilization, insulin secretion, and leptin and adiponectin levels were measured to identify a possible role in any changes in IS. IS was increased in LP‐con in comparison to CON‐con animals. Cafeteria feeding prevented this increase in LP animals but had no effect in CON animals (insulin‐stimulated glucose infusion rates (GIRs; mg/min/kg); CON‐con: 13.9 ± 1.0, CON caf: 12.1 ± 2.1, LP‐con: 25.4 ± 2.0, LP‐caf: 13.7 ± 3.7, P < 0.05). CON‐caf animals had similar percent epididymal white adipose tissue (%EWAT; CON‐con: 1.71 ± 0.09 vs. CON‐caf: 1.66 ± 0.08) and adiponectin (µg/ml: CON‐con: 4.61 ± 0.34 vs. CON‐caf: 3.67 ± 0.18) except hyperinsulinemia and relative hyperleptinemia in comparison to CON‐con. Differently, LP‐caf animals had increased %EWAT (LP‐con: 1.11 ± 0.06 vs. LP‐caf: 1.44 ± 0.08, P < 0.05) and adiponectin (µg/ml: LP‐con: 5.38 ± 0.39 vs. LP‐caf: 3.75 ± 0.35, P < 0.05) but did not show cafeteria‐induced hyperinsulinemia or relative hyperleptinemia. An increased propensity to store visceral fat in LP animals may prevent the elevated IS in LP offspring. 相似文献

Objective: It has been hypothesized that excessive fatty acid availability contributes to steatosis and the metabolic abnormalities associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether adipose tissue lipolytic activity and the rate of fatty acid release into plasma are increased in obese adolescents with NAFLD. Methods: Palmitate kinetics were determined in obese adolescents with normal (n = 9; BMI = 37 ± 2 kg/m2; intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) ≤5.5% of liver volume) and increased (n = 9; BMI = 36 ± 2 kg/m2; IHTG ≥ 10% of liver volume) IHTG content during the basal state (postabsorptive condition) and during physiological hyperinsulinemia (postprandial condition). Both groups were matched on body weight, BMI, percent body fat, age, sex, and Tanner stage. The hyperinsulinemic‐euglycemic clamp procedure, in conjunction with a deuterated palmitate tracer infusion, was used to determine free‐fatty acid (FFA) kinetics, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to determine IHTG content. Results: The rate of whole‐body palmitate release into plasma was greater in subjects with NAFLD than those with normal IHTG content during basal conditions, (87 ± 7 vs. 127 ± 13 µmol/min; P < 0.01) and during physiological hyperinsulinemia, (24 ± 2 vs. 44 ± 8 µmol/min; P < 0.01). Discussion: These results demonstrate that adipose tissue lipolytic activity is increased in obese adolescents with NAFLD and results in an increase in the rate of fatty acid release into plasma throughout the day. This continual excess in fatty acid flux supports the hypothesis that adipose insulin resistance is involved in the pathogenesis of steatosis and contributes to the metabolic complications associated with NAFLD. 相似文献

6 normal subjects received two times of 2 hr euglycemic glucose clamp studies (insulin infusion rate 40 mU/M2/min) one with and the other without somatostatin (SRIF) infusion (500 microgram/hr). Serum C-peptide and glucagon levels were measured during clamp to study the sensitivity of pancreatic alpha and beta cells to the suppressive effects of exogenous hyperinsulinemia during normoglycemia in normal subjects and to find whether SRIF had any modulative effects on endocrine pancreas secretion at the status of hyperinsulinemia. The results showed that in normal man the degree of suppression of pancreatic glucagon secretion by hyperinsulinemia (approximately 100 uU/ml) during euglycemic glucose clamp without SRIF infusion was less than that of C-peptide with mean value of 62 +/- 4% of basal glucagon remained at the end of clamp study; while only about 30 +/- 2% of basal C-peptide concentrations remained. But during SRIF infused glucose clamp studies (SRIF was infused from 60 to 120 min), 32 +/- 2% of mean basal C-peptide concentrations and 38 +/- 6% of mean basal glucagon concentrations left at the end of 2 hr clamp studies when serum insulin level was about 100 uU/ml. For the glucose infusion rate (M value), it was significantly greater in our normal subjects in response to insulin + SRIF as compared to insulin alone (12.0 + 0.9 vs 8.8 +/- 1.4; P less than 0.01). We concluded: during hyperinsulinemia (100 uU/ml), the sensitivity of pancreatic alpha cells to insulin seems less than that of beta cells in normal man at normoglycemia.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Aim of this study was to determine whether an increase in adiposity, without a concomitant increase in intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) content, is associated with a deterioration in metabolic function. To this end, multiorgan insulin sensitivity, assessed by using a two‐stage hyperinsulinemic–euglycemic clamp procedure in conjunction with stable isotopically labeled tracer infusion, and very low‐density lipoprotein (VLDL) kinetics, assessed by using stable isotopically labeled tracer infusion and mathematical modeling, were determined in 10 subjects with class I obesity (BMI: 31.6 ± 0.3 kg/m2; 37 ± 2% body fat; visceral adipose tissue (VAT): 1,225 ± 144 cm3) and 10 subjects with class III obesity (BMI: 41.5 ± 0.5 kg/m2; 43 ± 2% body fat; VAT: 2,121 ± 378 cm3), matched on age, sex, and IHTG content (14 ± 4 and 14 ± 3%, respectively). No differences between class I and class III obese groups were detected in insulin‐mediated suppression of palmitate (67 ± 3 and 65 ± 3%, respectively; P = 0.635) and glucose (67 ± 3 and 73 ± 5%, respectively; P = 0.348) rates of appearance in plasma, and the insulin‐mediated increase in glucose disposal (218 ± 18 and 193 ± 30%, respectively; P = 0.489). In addition, no differences between class I and class III obese groups were detected in secretion rates of VLDL‐triglyceride (6.5 ± 1.0 and 6.0 ± 1.4 µmol/l·min, respectively; P = 0.787) and VLDL‐apolipoprotein B‐100 (0.40 ± 0.05 and 0.41 ± 0.04 nmol/l·min, respectively; P = 0.866), and plasma clearance rates of VLDL‐triglyceride (31 (16–59) and 29 (18–46) ml/min, respectively; P = 0.888) and VLDL‐apolipoprotein B‐100 (15 (11–19) and 17 (11–25) ml/min, respectively; P = 0.608). We conclude that increased adiposity without a concomitant increase in IHTG content does not cause additional abnormalities in adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and hepatic insulin sensitivity, or VLDL metabolism. 相似文献

Objective: The goal of this study was to quantify differences in lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity in black and white subjects to explain ethnic clinicopathological differences in type 2 diabetes. Research Methods and Procedures: The in vitro lipolytic activity of adipocytes isolated from obese black and white women was measured in the presence of insulin and isoproterenol. Insulin resistance was assessed in vivo using the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp technique. Results: Fasting plasma levels of insulin and nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) in black and white women were 67 ± 5 pM vs. 152 ± 20 pM (p < 0.01) and 863 ± 93 μM vs. 412 ± 34 μM (p < 0.01), respectively. Euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp studies showed that obese black subjects were more insulin‐resistant than their white counterparts (glucose infusion rates: 1.3 ± 0.2 vs. 2.2 ± 0.3 mg/kg per min; p < 0.05). Isolated adipocytes from white women were more responsive to insulin than those from black women with 0.7 nM insulin causing a 55 ± 4% inhibition of isoproterenol‐stimulated lipolysis compared with 27 ± 10% in black women (p < 0.05). Discussion: The low responsiveness of adipocyte lipolytic activity to insulin in black women in the presence of a relative insulinopenia may account for the high plasma NEFA levels seen in these women, which may, in turn, account for their higher in vivo insulin resistance. High NEFA levels may also contribute to the low insulin secretory activity observed in the obese black females. These data suggest that the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes within the black obese community is strongly influenced by their adipocyte metabolism. 相似文献

Serum leptin concentration and insulin sensitivity in men with abdominal obesity. Obes Res. 1998;6:416–421. Objective : We have examined the association between generalized adiposity, abdominal adiposity, insulin sensitivity, and serum levels of leptin in a cross-sectional study of abdominally obese men. Research Methods and Procedures : Thirty men, 48 to 66 years of age with a body mass index (BMI) of between 25 kg/m2 and 35 kg/m2 and a waist hip ratio of <0.95, were included in the study. Serum leptin concentration was measured using radioimmunoassay. Total body fat percentage was determined from total body potassium, abdominal adiposity was measured by computed tomography, and the glucose disposal rate (GDR) was measured during an euglycemic, hyperinsulinemic glucose clamp. Results : Significant correlations were found between serum leptin concentration and BMI, percentage body fat, abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue, serum insulin, GDR, and 24-hour urinary-free Cortisol. In a multiple regression analysis, it was shown that abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue, GDR, and BMI explained 72% of the variability of serum leptin concentration. GDR demonstrated an independent inverse correlation with serum leptin concentration. Discussion : In abdominally obese men with insulin resistance, it was demonstrated that most of the individual variability in serum leptin concentration was explained by the amount of subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue, insulin sensitivity, and BMI. 相似文献

HENNES, MAGDA MI, ARNAVAZ DUA, DIANA L MAAS, GABRIELE E SONNENBERG, GLENN R KRAKOWER, AHMED H KISSEBAH. Relationships of plasma leptin levels to changes in plasma free fatty acids in women who are lean and women who are abdominally obese. Regulation of leptin production by the hormonal and metabolic milieu is poorly understood. Because abdominal obesity is commonly associated with elevated plasma free fatty acid (FFA) flux, we examined the effects of augmenting FFA on plasma leptin levels in women who were lean and of suppressing FFA in women with abdominal obesity. In study 1, nine subjects who were lean, after a 12-hour overnight fast, received either intravenous saline or Intralipid plus heparin to increase the plasma FFA concentration to approximately 1000 μmol/ L. After 3 hours of additional fasting, subjects underwent 3-hour hyperglycemic clamps. In study 2, seven subjects with abdominal obesity were evaluated by a similar protocol, but lipolysis and plasma FFA flux were instead maximally suppressed by acipimox. In the individuals who were lean, leptin levels were unchanged during clamping. Increasing plasma FFA reduced plasma leptin from 7.66 ± 0.66 to 7.05 ±0 0.66 (p=0.03), but 3 hours of hyperglycemia plus hyperinsulinemia had no additional effect on leptin levels (7.15 ± 0.71). Basal leptin levels, 4-fold higher in the subjects with obesity, were reduced from 34.6 ± 2.4 μg/L to 32.3 ± 1.1 μg/L (p=0.004) during the clamp period. When plasma FFA flux was suppressed, however, plasma leptin levels after clamped hyperglycemia/hyperinsulinemia were increased to 38.9 ± 1.2 μg/L (p=0.014 vs. time 0 and 0.001 vs. saline protocol). Changes in leptin concentrations are not correlated with changes in FFA. These results suggest that plasma FFA concentration does not regulate plasma leptin levels in basal, extended fasting, or hyperglycemic/hyperinsulinemic states. 相似文献

Objective: Relative to whites, African Americans have lower circulating triglycerides (TG) and greater highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol. The metabolic basis for this difference is not known. This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that insulin‐induced suppression of free fatty acids (FFA) results in lower serum TG in African American versus white prepubertal children. Research Methods and Procedures: Insulin, FFA, and TG were determined at baseline and during a frequently sampled, intravenous glucose tolerance test in eight African American and eight white prepubertal males pair‐matched for whole‐body insulin sensitivity. Results: Baseline TG was lower in African Americans (0.43 ± 0.10 vs. 0.79 ± 0.37 mM/L; mean ± SD; p < 0.01). African Americans had higher peak insulin (218 ± 102 vs. 100 ± 30 pM/L; mean ± SD; p < 0.01) and a greater acute insulin response (9282 ± 4272 vs. 4230 ± 1326 pM/L × 10 minutes; mean ± SD; p < 0.05). FFA and TG values determined at the FFA nadir were lower in African Americans (0.26 ± 0.02 vs. 0.30 ± 0.03 mEq/L; mean ± SD; p < 0.01 for FFA nadir and 0.49 ± 0.07 vs. 0.77 ± 0.33 mM/L; mean ± SD; p < 0.05 for TG). Among all subjects, FFA nadir was correlated with peak insulin (r = ?0.54; p < 0.05). After adjusting for FFA nadir, neither baseline nor postchallenge TG differed with ethnicity (p = 0.073 and 0.192, respectively). The ethnic difference in FFA nadir disappeared after adjusting for peak insulin (p = 0.073). Discussion: These data suggest that hyperinsulinemiainduced suppression of FFA among African Americans is a determinant of lower TG in this group. 相似文献

LIU, JIANMEI, HASAN ASKARI, AND SAMUEL DAGOGO-JACK. Basal and stimulated plasma leptin in diabetic subjects. Obes Res. Objective: To determine whether leptin secretion is impaired in diabetes, we compared basal and stimulated plasma leptin levels in diabetic subjects and healthy controls. Research Methods and Procedures: Blood samples for assay of leptin and other hormones were obtained at baseline in 54 diabetic patients and 65 controls, and 8 hours, 16 hours, and 40 hours following ingestion of dexamethasone (4 mg) in 6 healthy and 12 controls. C-peptide status was defined as “negative” if ≤0.1 ng/mL or “positive” if ≥0.3 ng/mL, in fasting plasma. Results: Basal plasma leptin levels were 19. 7±2. 2 ng/mL in nondiabetic subjects, 13. 4±1. 5 ng/ml in C-peptide negative (n = 28) and 26. 1±23. 7 ng/mL in C-peptide positive (n = 26, p = 0. 001) diabetic patients. Dexamethasone increased leptin levels of controls (n = 6) to 145±17% of baseline values at 8 hours (p = O. O3), 224±18% at 16 hours (p = 0. 01), and 134218% at 40 hours (p = 0. 05). The corresponding changes were 108±13%, 126±23%, and 98±16% in C-peptide negative (n = 6), and 121±10%, 144±16% (p = 0. 03), and 147±23% (p = 0. 11) in C-peptide positive (n = 6) diabetic patients, respectively. The peak stimulated leptin levels were lower in the diabetic patients, compared with controls. Plasma insulin increased (p = 0. 02) in controls, but not in the diabetic patients, following dexamethasone. Discussion: Although diabetic patients have normal plasma leptin levels under basal conditions, their leptin responses to glucocorticoid are impaired, probably because of the concomitant insulin secretory defect. A subnormal leptin secretory response could worsen obesity and insulin resistance in diabetes. 相似文献

Obesity in adolescents is associated with metabolic risk factors for type 2 diabetes, particularly insulin resistance and excessive accumulation of intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of moderate weight loss on IHTG content and insulin sensitivity in obese adolescents who had normal oral glucose tolerance. Insulin sensitivity, assessed by using the hyperinsulinemic–euglycemic clamp technique in conjunction with stable isotopically labeled tracer infusion, and IHTG content, assessed by using magnetic resonance spectroscopy, were evaluated in eight obese adolescents (BMI ≥95th percentile for age and sex; age 15.3 ± 0.6 years) before and after moderate diet‐induced weight loss (8.2 ± 2.0% of initial body weight). Weight loss caused a 61.6 ± 8.5% decrease in IHTG content (P = 0.01), and improved both hepatic (56 ± 18% increase in hepatic insulin sensitivity index, P = 0.01) and skeletal muscle (97 ± 45% increase in insulin‐mediated glucose disposal, P = 0.01) insulin sensitivity. Moderate diet‐induced weight loss decreases IHTG content and improves insulin sensitivity in the liver and skeletal muscle in obese adolescents who have normal glucose tolerance. These results support the benefits of weight loss therapy in obese adolescents who do not have evidence of obesity‐related metabolic complications during a standard medical evaluation. 相似文献

Objective: We examined short-term effects of arginine infusion on plasma leptin in diabetic and healthy subjects. Research Methods and Procedures: Arginine stimulation tests were performed in C-peptide negative type 1 [DM1; hemoglobin A1c; 7.3 ± 0.3%], hyperinsulinemic type 2 diabetic (DM2; 7.6 ± 0.7%), and nondiabetic subjects (CON; 5.4 ± 0.1%). Results: Fasting plasma leptin correlated linearly with body mass index among all groups (r = 0.61, p = 0.001). During arginine infusion, peak plasma insulin was lower in DM1 than in DM2 (p < 0.05) and CON (p < 0.01). Plasma leptin decreased within 30 minutes by ∼11% in DM1 (p < 0.001), DM2 (p < 0.01), and CON (p < 0.005), slowly returning to baseline thereafter. Plasma free fatty acids (FFAs) were higher in DM1 (0.6 ± 0.1 mM) and DM2 (0.6 ± 0.1 mM) than in CON (0.4 ± 0.1 mM, p < 0.05) and transiently declined by ∼50% (p < 0.05) at 45 minutes in all groups before rebounding toward baseline. To examine the direct effects of FFAs on plasma leptin, we infused healthy subjects with lipid/heparin and glycerol during fasting, and somatostatin-insulin (∼35 pM) -glucagon (∼90 ng/mL) clamps were performed. In both protocols, plasma leptin continuously declined by ∼25% (p < 0.05) during 540 minutes without any difference between the high and low FFA conditions. Discussion: Arginine infusion transiently decreased plasma leptin concentrations both in insulin-deficient and hyperinsulinemic diabetic patients, indicating a direct inhibitory effect of the amino acid but not of insulin or FFAs. 相似文献

Objective: To determine the effects of weight loss (WL) alone and combined with aerobic exercise on visceral adipose tissue (VAT), intramuscular fat, insulin‐stimulated glucose uptake, and the rate of decline in free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations during hyperinsulinemia. Research Methods and Procedures: We studied 33 sedentary, obese (BMI = 32 ± 1 kg/m2) postmenopausal women who completed a 6‐month (three times per week) program of either WL alone (n = 16) or WL + aerobic exercise (AEX) (n = 17). Glucose utilization (M) was measured during a 3‐hour hyperinsulinemic‐euglycemic clamp (40 mU/m2 per minute). M/I, the amount of glucose metabolized per unit of plasma insulin (I), was used as an index of insulin sensitivity. Results: Body weight, total fat mass, and percentage fat decreased similarly in both groups (p < 0.01). VAT, subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue, mid‐thigh subcutaneous fat, and intramuscular fat decreased to a similar extent in both groups and between 14% and 27% after WL and WL+AEX (p < 0.05). WL alone did not change M or M/I; however, M and M/I increased 15% and 21% after WL+AEX (p < 0.05). Fasting concentrations and rate of decline of FFA did not change in either group. In stepwise regression models to determine the independent predictors of changes in M and M/I, the change in VAT was the single independent predictor of M (r2 = 0.30) and M/I (r2 = 0.33). Discussion: Intramuscular fat decreases similarly with 6 months of moderate WL alone or with aerobic exercise in postmenopausal women. In contrast, only WL combined with exercise results in increased glucose utilization and insulin sensitivity. These findings should be validated in a larger population. 相似文献

Objective: To examine the effects of graded doses of hydrocortisone (HC) on leptin secretion, and determine the effect of fasting. Research Methods and Procedures: This was a randomized, placebo‐controlled, crossover study, with a 1‐week “washout” period between interventions. Eight healthy subjects [age = 36 ± 2.3 years (±SE), body mass index = 31.5 ± 1.6 kg/m2] completed the dose‐response study in which an intravenous infusion of saline (placebo) or HC (30 or 100 mg) was administered for 24 hours. Four healthy subjects (age = 35.2 ± 3.0 years, body mass index = 27.1 ± 2.1 kg/m2) completed the fasting study, which entailed continuous infusion of saline, HC (300 mg/24 hours) in the fed state, or HC (300 mg/24 hours) with total caloric deprivation for 24 hours. Blood sampling was performed every 1 to 2 hours for measurement of leptin, cortisol, insulin, and glucose levels. Results: Peak hyperleptinemia occurred after 16 hours of HC infusion; peak/baseline leptin levels were 129% (placebo), 140% (30 mg of HC for 24 hours, p = 0.05), and 185% (100 mg of HC for 24 hours, p < 0.01). During infusion of HC (300 mg/24 hours or placebo), the peak/baseline plasma leptin levels were 16.1 ± 5.8/12.8 ± 5.9 ng/mL (placebo with food, 126%), 14.6 ± 6.0/12.5 ± 6.5 ng/mL (HC fasting, 117%), and 32.5 ± 12.5/12.0 ± 8.4 ng/mL (HC with food, 271%, p < 0.001). Discussion: Leptin secretory responses occur at physiological doses of HC, are obliterated by fasting, and thus may be of metabolic significance. 相似文献

Starvation and experimental diabetes induce a stable increase in pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) activity in skeletal muscle, which is largely due to a selective upregulation of PDK-4 expression. Increased free fatty acid (FFA) level has been suggested to be responsible for the upregulation. Because these metabolic states are also characterized by insulin deficiency, the present study was designed to examine whether insulin has a significant effect to regulate PDK mRNA expression in rat skeletal muscle. In study 1, overnight-fasted rats received an infusion of saline or insulin for 5 h (n = 6 each). During the insulin infusion, plasma glucose was clamped at basal levels (euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp). A third group (n = 6) received Intralipid infusion during the clamp to prevent a fall in plasma FFA. PDK-2 mRNA level in gastrocnemius muscle was not altered by insulin or FFA (i.e., Intralipid infusion). In contrast, PDK-4 mRNA level was decreased 72% by insulin (P < 0.05), and Intralipid infusion prevented only 20% of the decrease. PDK-4 protein level was decreased approximately 20% by insulin (P < 0.05), but this effect was not altered by Intralipid infusion. In study 2, overnight-fasted rats were refed or received an infusion of saline or nicotinic acid (NA, 30 micromol/h) for 5 h (n = 5 each). During the refeeding and NA infusion, plasma FFA levels were similarly (i.e., 60-70% vs. saline control) lowered. Muscle PDK-4 mRNA level decreased 77% after the refeeding (P < 0.05) but not after the NA infusion. In conclusion, the present data indicate that insulin had a profound effect to suppress PDK-4 expression in skeletal muscle and that, contrary to previous suggestions, circulating FFA had little impact on PDK-4 mRNA expression, at least within 5 h. 相似文献

Leptin has been shown to regulate feed intake and energy expenditure. Insulin stimulates leptin secretion in rodents, but its action on leptin secretion is still obscure in ruminants. If insulin stimulates leptin secretion in ruminants, circulating leptin concentrations may change during exposure to cold, because of fluctuating insulin secretion and action in the cold environment. The present experiment was designed to determine whether feeding or exogenous administration of insulin affects circulating leptin levels in sheep exposed to thermoneutral and cold environments. Suffolk rams that were shorn and fed a diet once daily were subjected to a thermoneutral (20 degrees C) or cold (0 degrees C) environment for at least 1 week. Overall mean concentrations of plasma leptin in the feeding experiment were lower (P<0.05) in the cold environment than in the thermoneutral environment. Plasma leptin levels remained relatively unchanged after feeding in both environments, though plasma insulin response to feeding in both environments increased (P<0.01). The euglycemic clamps (insulin infusion rate: 4 mUkgBW(-1)min(-1) for 2 h) increased (P<0.01) circulating leptin concentrations in the thermoneutral, but not in the cold environment. These results suggest that lower circulating leptin levels in ruminants exposed to the cold environment could be partly due to the depressed insulin action on leptin secretion. 相似文献

Objective: The role of cortisol in the regulation of lipolysis is not clear. This study was undertaken to explore whether a standard dose of prednisolone for 1 week would influence lipolysis in abdominal and femoral tissue. Research Methods and Procedures: We used the microdialysis technique, the forearm technique, and indirect calorimetry, in the fasting state, after 1 week of treatment with prednisolone (30 mg daily) or placebo. Eight healthy young men (age: 25 ± 3 years; height: 181 ± 1 cm; body mass index [BMI]: 23.3 ± 0.7 kg/m2) were studied. Results: Treatment with prednisolone induced insulin resistance (Homeostasis Model Assessment index: placebo vs. prednisolone: 7.15 ± 1.63 vs. 17.00 ± 14.26, p = 0.03), hyperinsulinemia (p = 0.01), and hyperglucagonemia (p = 0.001), whereas growth hormone concentrations were unaffected. Abdominal adipose tissue interstitial glycerol was increased during treatment with prednisolone in the face of significant hyperinsulinemia, although it barely reached statistical significance (p = 0.06). At the femoral adipose tissue depot, no difference in lipolysis was found. Arterial and venous free fatty acids (FFA) were comparable in the two situations, whereas the arteriovenous difference across the forearm was significantly decreased during treatment with prednisolone, indicating increased uptake, or decreased release of FFA. Energy expenditure (p = 0.3), repiratory quotient (p = 0.9), glucose oxidation (p = 0.9), lipid oxidation (p = 1.0), and protein oxidation (p = 0.1) were unaltered on the 2 study days. Discussion: Short‐term treatment with a standard dose of corticosteroids induces increased abdominal adipose tissue lipolysis, as well as hyperinsulinemia, hyperglucagonemia, and insulin resistance. 相似文献

RICCI, MATTHEW R. AND SUSAN K. FRIED. Isoproterenol decreases leptin expression in adipose tissue of obese humans. Obes Res. Objective: We investigated the effects of the non-selective β-adrenergic agonist, isoproterenol (Iso), on leptin expression in human adipose tissue. Research Methods and Procedures: Subcutaneous (SQ) and omental adipose (OM) tissue taken during surgery from 12 morbidly obese subjects (10 women and 2 men) were cultured for up to 24 hours with insulin (7 nM) and/or dexamethasone (25 nM), a synthetic glucocorticoid, in the presence or absence of isoproterenol (10 μM). Adipose tissue was also acutely incubated for 3 hours in media alone with or without isoproterenol. Leptin secretion and leptin mRNA abundance were measured. Results: Iso acutely decreased leptin release by −30% (vs. no hormone controls) in fragments of OM and SQ adipose tissue. In 24-hour culture, addition of Iso (in the presence of insulin) resulted in lower leptin accumulation in the medium (−20–30%) and leptin mRNA levels (−40–50%) from both tissue depots. Culture with insulin and dexamethasone increased leptin expression vs. insulin alone. Addition of Iso with insulin and dexamethasone decreased media leptin (−40–60%) and leptin mRNA levels were lower (−65%) in Iso-treated adipose tissue from both depots after 24 hours. Iso effects were not detectable after 5 hours of culture. Discussion: We conclude that stimulation of β-adrenergic receptors may modulate leptin expression in human adipose tissue by two mechanisms: an acute effect on leptin release and a longer-term antagonism of stimulatory effects of insulin and dexamethasone on leptin mRNA expression. These mechanisms may contribute to the decline in serum leptin that occurs during fasting. 相似文献
