Studies were conducted to determine the influence of thyroxine (T4) in vivo on preadipocyte development and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) secretion in stromal-vas-cular (S-V) cultures. Fetal pigs were hypophysectomized (hypox) at 70 days of gestation, implanted with T4 pellets, and fetuses from the dam at 75 days of gestation. In a second experiment, hypox and T4 implantation were performed at 75 days and fetal pigs removed at 95 days of gestation. Primary cultures of stromal vascular (S-V) cells derived from fetal adipose tissue were established. Cultures were stained for morphological analysis and conditioned media were collected for IGF-I determination by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and IGFBP analysis by Western blotting. After only 5 days of T4 treatment, fat cell cluster number and size and lipid deposition in cultures were significantly increased compared to cultures from untreated hypox fetuses. Fetal hypox reduced IGF-I secretion by preadipocytes at both ages and T4 treatment completely normalized IGF-I secretion (p < 0.05). Four IGFBPs (BP-1, BP-2, BP-3 & BP-4) detected in S-V cultures derived from 95-day fetuses were decreased in concentration by hypox by 44 ± 9.4%, 32 ± 9.7%, 42 ± 12% and 53 ± 6.9%. In cultures derived from T4 treated hypox fetuses, the levels of these four IGFBPs were increased by 187 ± 25%, 239 ± 38%, 190 ± 5% and 347 ± 43% over control values, respectively. In cultures from 75-day fetuses, only IGFBP-2 (major one) and BP-1 (minor one) were detected and their secretion was also decreased by hypox and elevated by T4 treatment (190 ± 49.5%, 156 ± 30%, respectively, of controls). The results provide direct evidence that T4 has a major influence on fetal preadipocyte development. T4 stimulated production of IGF-I and IGFBP in fetal S-V cultures, which in turn, may have mediated the capability of T4 to enhance fetal adipose tissue development. 相似文献

HAUSMAN, D.B., G.J. HAUSMAN, AND R.J. MARTIN. Endocrine regulation of fetal adipose tissue metabolism in the pig: interaction of porcine growth hormone and thyroxine. Obes Res. 1999;7:76–82. Objective : This study tested the hypothesis that combined treatment of thyroxine (T4) and growth hormone (GH) could normalize cellular and metabolic aspects of adipose tissue development of hypophysectomized fetal pigs. Research Methods and Procedures : On day 70 of gestation, pig fetuses were hypophysectomized by microcauterization or remained intact. Hypophysectomized fetuses remained untreated or were treated from day 90 to day 105 of gestation with T4, GH, or a combination of both hormones. Results : Body weights were unaffected by hypophysectomy or hormone treatment. De novo lipogenesis in subcutaneous adipose tissue was increased 10-fold by hypophysectomy, consistent with our previous results. This increase was abolished by GH treatment in the hypophysectomized fetuses. In contrast, T4 treatment of the hypophysectomized fetuses resulted in a 12-fold further increase in adipose tissue lipogenesis, an effect that was negated by concomitant administration of GH. Lipolytic response to isoproterenol was decreased by hypophysectomy, unaffected by GH treatment, and restored to intact values by T4 or by T4+GH treatment in the hypophysectomized fetuses. Discussion : In contrast to T4, GH does not influence serum insulin-like growth factor-I or adipose tissue lipolysis, but decreases lipogenesis in the fetal pig. However, replacing both T4 and GH normalized hypophysectomized fetuses to a greater extent than either GH or T4 alone. Thus, any influence of thyroid hormones on stimulating adipose tissue lipogenesis in the developing fetal pig may be normally counterregulated by pituitary-derived growth hormone. 相似文献

Elevated serum hydrocortisone (HC) levels are associated with larger fat cells and elevated levels of Iipogenic and associated enzymes in late term pig fetuses from genetically obese dams. We have investigated the influence of HC status per se on these and other adipose tissue traits by chronically treating pig fetuses hypophysectomized (hypox) on day 70 with HC between either day 70 and 90 or 90 and 105 of gestation. Treatment with HC during both periods increased serum HC levels (P<.05) and increased fat cell size (P<.05) in the perirenal (PERI) and subcutaneous (SQ) depots, but failed to influence body weights, insulin-like growth factor-1 and insulin levels. Quantitative analysis of sections of PERI and SQ adipose tissue indicated that HC increased lipoprotein lipase (LPL), esterase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) activities. The degree of esterase and G6PDH, but not LPL response to HC, was greater during the 90- to 105-day period than during the earlier period. HC significantly increased lipid accretion only in the SQ depot between 90 and 105 days. Overall, HC significantly augmented hypox-induced alterations in cellular and metabolic traits of developing adipose tissue. The general increase in fat cell size (21%) with moderate (SQ-105d) or no (PERI-90, 105d; SQ-90d) increase in lipid accretion indicates that HC either did not influence or decreased apparent fat cell number. Regardless, these data indicate that changes in serum HC per se may account for adipose tissue traits that characterize fetuses from genetically obese dams. 相似文献

The temporal aspect of thyroxine (T4) enhanced development of several fetal adipose tissue depots (locations) and skin was examined in the present study. On day 70 of gestation pig fetuses were either hypophysectomized (hypox), hypoxed and implanted with T4 pellets or left intact (control). Subsequently, fetuses were removed for study at either 73, 75, 80, 85 and 90 days of gestation. Serum levels of T4 and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) were significantly elevated by T4 after 3 days of treatment and throughout the study. T4 treatment enhanced development of skin, inner and outer subcutaneous (SQ) adipose tissue and adipocyte lobules around hair follicles (HFL's) but degree of response and response time were tissue or depot dependent. The T4 response time was shortest for skin and HFL's, longest for inner SQ and intermediate for the outer SQ. Considering the entire treatment period, magnitude of the T4 response was much greater for skin and HFL's than for outer and inner SQ tissues. Possibly, these developmental characteristics indicate that T4 directly influences skin and HFL's and indirectly influences inner SQ adipose tissue by increasing production of a locally produced adipogenic growth factor. Furthermore, developmental characteristics (morphological) indicated that putative local growth factor mediation of T4 action may depend on stage of development or maturity of the tissue. IGF-I is clearly the most logical candidate as a putative local mediator of T4, but evidence at the molecular level is needed to prove this suggestion. Regardless, the particular adipose tissue location or depot is an important aspect of hormone responsiveness during the critical or sensitive period of fetal adipose tissue development. 相似文献

Summary The responsiveness of progeny of sheep-derived unilocular fat cells (adipofibroblasts) to dexamethasone, insulin, insulinlike
growth factor I (IGF-I), growth hormone (GH), and basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) was determined in a clonal culture
system. Primary cultures of mature adipocytes were obtained from intermuscular adipose tissue (semimembranosus/semitendinosus
seam depot) of sheep by ceiling culture techniques. Following degeneration of unilocular fat droplets and re-establishment
of fibroblasticlike adipofibroblasts, all adipofibroblasts adhering to upper flask surfaces were collected and isolated away
from fibroblasts (which had no multilocular vesicles) by Percoll? gradient centrifugation. Progeny derived from a single adipofibroblast were isolated and tested for the ability to proliferate,
differentiate, and accumulate lipids. Stock cultures of adipofibroblasts reached confluence in 5 d and were induced to differentiate
from 7 to 9 d with dexamethasone-methyl isobutylxanthine-insulin (DMI). Incubation with insulin, IGF-I, GH, or FGF prior to
confluence followed by induction with DMI produced no direct (priming) effect on subsequent differentiation. When substituted
individually in place of DMI during the 2 d differentiation/induction period, all factors induced differentiation of cultured
adipofibroblasts as determined by lipogenesis (P<.05) and lipoprotein lipase activity (P<.05). Thus, isolated adipofibroblasts from sheep muscle may be induced by hormones and growth factors to display mature adipocyte
morphology in cell culture. Further definition of the adipofibroblast culture system may aid in the identification of mechanisms
regulating adipocyte development in sheep skeletal muscle, as well as in the study of intercommunication between fat and muscle
cells.

Serum adiponectin has been reported to inversely correlate with the degree of adiposity in children. However, the relative contribution of adiponectin-dependent signaling to the development of metabolic syndrome in childhood obesity is unclear. We overfed prepubertal, male Sprague-Dawley rats a high-fat diet via total enteral nutrition. Excessive caloric intake led to obesity, increased body weight and fat mass; dyslipidemia; ectopic fat deposition; and hyperinsulinemia (P<.05). Expression of fatty acid transporter FAT/CD36 was elevated in both liver and skeletal muscle (P<.05). Hepatic Akt phosphorylation was elevated (P<.05) and FoxO1 protein in hepatic nuclear extracts was reduced (P<.05) in the face of hyperinsulinemia, whereas no increase in Akt phosphorylation or decrease in nuclear FoxO1 was observed in skeletal muscle. Overfeeding increased serum adiponectin concentration from 24.6±1.9 μg/ml to 46.3±5.9 μg/ml (P<.004), and positively correlated with increased adipose tissue mass. The expression of the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor α in the adipose tissue was unchanged. Adiponectin-mediated adenosine monophosphate (AMP) kinase phosphorylation, peroxisome proliferator-activator receptor-α expression and the expression of genes involved in fatty acid oxidation were elevated in both liver and muscle (P<.05). These data (1) demonstrate that excessive intake of a high-fat diet in young rats results in “adiponectin-independent” increases in ectopic fat deposition and hyperinsulinemia, (2) suggest that fatty acid transport is a major mechanism underlying ectopic fat deposition, (3) demonstrate tissue-specific differences in the response of Akt-FoxO signaling to hyperinsulinemia following the development of pediatric obesity and (4) suggest age-related differences in the role of adiponectin in pathological responses associated with obesity. 相似文献

Fasting and postprandial triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This study evaluated whether interleukin-6 (IL-6) and incretin hormones [gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) (active)] were associated with fasting and postprandial TAG in response to an oral lipid load, including very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and chylomicron (CM) TAG, following one bout of exercise in nine men (age, 59±2 years; body mass index, 34±2 kg/m2; waist circumference, 113±3 cm) with high fasting TAG (2.9±0.2 mmol/L). Subjects completed two oral fat tolerance tests (OFTTs), randomized 1 week apart, that consisted of 1g fat/kg body weight emulsified lipids in the absence of carbohydrate and protein. Approximately 16 h prior to one OFTT, subjects completed 60 min of treadmill walking (estimated 55% VO2 peak; heart rate, 122±4 beats/min). No exercise was performed on the day before the other OFTT. Fasted (0 h) and postprandial (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 h) blood samples were taken for analysis of TAG, IL-6 and incretins. Subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies were taken at 0 and 6 h after OFTT ingestion for IL-6 and GIP receptor (GIPr) mRNA quantification. Exercise lowered fasting and postprandial TAG (P<.05) and VLDL TAG (P<.05), while postprandial CM TAG were similar in both OFTT trials (P>.05). Fasting and postprandial plasma IL-6, GIP and GLP-1 did not differ between rest and exercise OFTT trials (P>.05). Exercise reduced IL-6 and GIPr mRNA (P<.05) in adipose tissue. Our results suggest that the reduction in VLDL TAG following an acute bout of exercise is not associated with circulating IL-6 or incretin concentrations, despite reductions in the adipose tissue expression of IL-6 and GIPr. 相似文献

The objectives of the study were to measure progesterone (P4) concentrations in subcutaneous adipose tissue from the tailhead of dairy cows in various reproductive states, and to examine the effect of epinephrine-induced fat mobilization on P4 release from adipose tissue in vitro. Blood samples and adipose tissue biopsies were taken from 12 cows twice during late pregnancy and three times during early lactation. Concentrations of P4 in adipose tissue were higher (P < 0.005) during pregnancy than at any of the non-pregnant stages examined and, in general, the relative changes with reproductive state reflected changes in plasma P4 concentration and body condition score. Plasma and adipose tissue P4 concentrations were positively correlated (P < 0.001) at estrus and during the luteal phase of the estrous cycle. When adipose tissue samples from eight cows were incubated as explants in vitro and challenged with epinephrine, non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) and P4 concentrations increased (P < 0.05) with increasing concentrations of epinephrine. These results demonstrate that substantial quantities of P4 are sequestered in adipose tissue, depending on the reproductive state, and indicate that lypolysis may result in the release of P4 from this tissue, thereby influencing plasma P4 concentrations. 相似文献

The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major public health problem in the United States. Chronic inflammation is a critical component of the MetS, leading to dramatically increased risk of type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease.This study investigates the ability of a wild-blueberry-enriched diet to improve the proinflammatory status associated with MetS in the obese Zucker rat (OZR). Circulating levels of key inflammatory markers and their expression in the liver and abdominal adipose tissue were examined in OZR and its genetic control, the lean Zucker rat (LZR), after feeding a control or an 8% wild blueberry diet (WB) for 8 weeks from age 8 to 16 weeks.In the OZR, WB consumption resulted in decreased plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (?25.6%, P<.05), interleukin (IL)-6 (?14.9%, P<.05) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (?13.1%, P<.05) and increased adiponectin concentration (+21.8%, P<.05). Furthermore, expression of IL-6, TNF-α and nuclear factor (NF)-kB was down-regulated in both the liver (?65%, ?59% and ?25%, respectively) and the abdominal adipose tissue (?64%, ?52% and ?65%), while CRP expression was down-regulated only in the liver (?25%). In the abdominal adipose tissue, similar trends were also observed in LZR following WB treatment, with decreased liver expression of NF-kB, CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α (?24%, ?16%, ?21% and ?50%) and increased adiponectin expression (+25%).Results of this study suggest that wild blueberry consumption exerts an overall anti-inflammatory effect in the OZR, a model of the metabolic syndrome. 相似文献

Hooded seals (Cystophora cristata) lactate for 3.6 days during which females simultaneously fast and transfer large amounts of energy to their pups through
fat-rich milk. Pups grow rapidly, principally due to blubber deposition. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), the primary enzyme responsible
for tissue uptake of triglyceride fatty acids, may strongly influence both maternal milk fat secretion and pup blubber deposition.
We measured the energetic costs of lactation (using hydrogen isotope dilution, 3H20), milk composition, prolactin, and LPL activity (post-heparin plasma LPL [PH LPL], blubber, mammary gland and milk; U) in
six females. PH LPL and blubber LPL were measured in their pups. Females depleted 216.3 MJ · day−1 of body energy and fat accounted for 59% of maternal mass loss and 90% of postpartum body energy loss, but maternal body
composition changed little. Maternal blubber LPL was negligible (0.0–0.2 U), while mammary LPL was elevated (1.8–2.5 U) and
was paralleled by changes in prolactin. Estimated total mammary LPL activity was high (up to 20,000 U · animal−1) effectively favoring the mammary gland for lipid uptake. Levels of total blubber LPL in pups increased seven-fold over lactation.
Pups with higher PH LPL at birth had greater relative growth rates (P = 0.025). Pups with greater blubber stores and total blubber LPL activity had elevated rates of fat deposition (P = 0.035).

Calorie restriction (CR) and alternate-day fasting (ADF) beneficially affect several aspects of adipose tissue physiology, but direct comparisons between regimens have yet to be performed. The present study evaluated the effects of ADF versus CR on body fat distribution and circulating adiponectin levels and examined the kinetic mechanisms that underlie changes in fat distribution. Thirty female C57BL/6J mice were randomized to one of five groups for 4 weeks: (a) CR-25% (25% energy restriction daily), (b) ADF-75% (75% restriction on fast day), (c) ADF-85% (85% restriction on fast day), (d) ADF-100% (100% restriction on fast day) and (e) control (ad libitum fed). Body weights of the CR mice were lower than that of the ADF and control groups posttreatment. After 4 weeks of diet, the proportion of visceral fat decreased (P<.001) and the proportion of subcutaneous fat increased (P<.001) similarly in ADF and CR animals. Adiponectin increased (P<.05) by 62–86% in the ADF groups and by 69% in the CR group. Triglyceride (TG) synthesis and de novo lipogenesis were augmented (P<.05) in the subcutaneous fat pad of ADF and CR animals, relative to control. No differences in net lipolysis were observed, resulting in greater TG accumulation in the subcutaneous fat pad, with a shift in the ratio of TG between depots. These findings indicate that ADF (both modified and true) produces similar beneficial modulations in body fat distribution and adiponectin levels as daily CR. 相似文献

Following menopause, body fat is redistributed from peripheral to central depots. This may be linked to the age related decrease in estrogen levels. We hypothesized that estrogen supplementation could counteract this fat redistribution through tissue‐specific modulation of glucocorticoid exposure. We measured fat depot masses and the expression and activity of the glucocorticoid‐activating enzyme 11β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11βHSD1) in fat and liver of ovariectomized female rats treated with or without 17β‐estradiol. 11βHSD1 converts inert cortisone, or 11‐dehydrocorticosterone in rats into active cortisol and corticosterone. Estradiol‐treated rats gained less weight and had significantly lower visceral adipose tissue weight than nontreated rats (P < 0.01); subcutaneous adipose weight was unaltered. In addition, 11βHSD1 activity/expression was downregulated in liver and visceral, but not subcutaneous, fat of estradiol‐treated rats (P < 0.001 for both). This downregulation altered the balance of 11βHSD1 expression and activity between adipose tissue depots, with higher levels in subcutaneous than visceral adipose tissue of estradiol‐treated animals (P < 0.05 for both), opposite the pattern in ovariectomized rats not treated with estradiol (P < 0.001 for mRNA expression). Thus, estrogen modulates fat distribution, at least in part, through effects on tissue‐specific glucocorticoid metabolism, suggesting that estrogen replacement therapy could influence obesity related morbidity in postmenopausal women. 相似文献

Objective: To determine whether gender differences exist in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in response to exercise and/or insulin. Exercise and insulin are known modulators of LPL activity in men, but this is less clear in women. LPL activity may predict propensity for obesity; therefore, understanding its modulators is of considerable importance. Research Methods and Procedures: Gender differences in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue LPL activity were determined after a single bout of exercise followed by a hyperinsulinemic/euglycemic clamp and compared with an identical rest day in healthy lean men (n = 10) and women (n = 10). Muscle and adipose tissue biopsies were obtained pre‐ (post‐exercise vs. rest) and post‐clamp. Results: Basal levels of muscle and adipose tissue LPL activity were not different between men and women. There was, however, a significant gender by day interaction for muscle LPL activity (p = 0.023) and adipose tissue LPL activity (p = 0.013). In muscle, this was because of a significant increase in LPL activity on the exercise vs. rest day in men (p < 0.001) but not women. Adipose tissue LPL activity also increased significantly in men on the exercise day relative to rest day (p = 0.04) but decreased in women (p = 0.10). The hyperinulinemic/euglycemic clamp had no independent effect on tissue LPL activity, in either gender, after rest or exercise. Discussion: In the 3 to 4 hours after exercise, muscle and adipose tissue LPL activity increased significantly in men, whereas LPL activity remained unchanged in women. 相似文献

Summary The composition and oxidative capacity of brown adipose tissue (BAT) were investigated in Djungarian hamsters kept under natural photoperiod, either indoors at neutralT
a (23°C) or under outdoor conditions. BAT comprises up to 5% of the body weight in summer/indoor hamster, with lipid representing 86% of the total tissue mass. Tissue mass and thermogenic capacity are inversely related during seasonal adaptation: 30% decrease of total DNA, accompanied by extensive lipid depletion, reduces the amount of BAT by almost 60% during acclimatization from summer/indoor to winter/outdoor conditions. Mitochondrial protein in BAT is increased by a factor of 2.6 concomitantly, and by a factor of 4 when related to body weight (body weight reduction 36%).Cytochrome oxidase activity in different brown fat deposits varies by up to 150% in summer/indoor hamsters; depending on the fat pad, the enzyme activity is increased 200%–700% during adaptation to winter/outdoor conditions.Natural photoperiod is decisive in determining the seasonal adaptation of DNA content in BAT and of body weight. Short photoperiod alone may lead to depletion of lipid content of BAT and thus decrease the tissue mass practically to the lowest seasonal level, even though both parameters may be also influenced byT
a. One third of the maximum adaptive increase of tissue mitochondria may be attributed to seasonal changes in photoperiod and up to two thirds toT
a. Photoperiod establishes a fixed fundament of slow-reacting functional adaptation of BAT, whereas the effect of decreasedT
a depends on the rate and duration of cold influence.Abbreviations

Visceral adipose tissue has been shown to have high lipolytic activity. The aim of this study was to examine whether free fatty acid (FFA) uptake into visceral adipose tissue is enhanced compared to abdominal subcutaneous tissue in vivo. Abdominal adipose tissue FFA uptake was measured using positron emission tomography (PET) and [18F]‐labeled 6‐thia‐hepta‐decanoic acid ([18F]FTHA) and fat masses using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 18 healthy young adult males. We found that FFA uptake was 30% higher in visceral compared to subcutaneous adipose tissue (0.0025 ± 0.0018 vs. 0.0020 ± 0.0016 µmol/g/min, P = 0.005). Visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue FFA uptakes were strongly associated with each other (P < 0.001). When tissue FFA uptake per gram of fat was multiplied by the total tissue mass, total FFA uptake was almost 1.5 times higher in abdominal subcutaneous than in visceral adipose tissue. In conclusion, we observed enhanced FFA uptake in visceral compared to abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue and, simultaneously, these metabolic rates were strongly associated with each other. The higher total tissue FFA uptake in subcutaneous than in visceral adipose tissue indicates that although visceral fat is active in extracting FFA, its overall contribution to systemic metabolism is limited in healthy lean males. Our results indicate that subcutaneous, rather than visceral fat storage plays a more direct role in systemic FFA availability. The recognized relationship between abdominal visceral fat mass and metabolic complications may be explained by direct effects of visceral fat on the liver. 相似文献

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is considered as a key enzyme in the lipid deposition and metabolism in tissues. It is assumed to
be a major candidate gene for genetic markers in lipid deposition. Therefore, the polymorphisms of the LPL gene and associations
with carcass traits and viscera fat content were examined in 398 individuals from five yak (Bos grunniens) breeds using PCR–SSCP analysis and DNA sequencing. A novel nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-C→T (nt19913) was identified located
in exon 7 in the coding region of the LPL gene, which replacement was responsible for a Phe-to-Ser substitution at amino acid.
Two alleles (A and B) and three genotypes designed as AA, AB and BB were detected in the PCR products. The frequencies of
allele A were 0.7928, 0.7421, 0.7357, 0.6900 and 0.7083 for Tianzhu white yak (WY), Gannan yak (GY), Qinghai-Plateau yak (PY),
Xinjiang yak (XY) and Datong yak (DY), respectively. The SNP loci was in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium in five yak populations
(P > 0.05). Polymorphism of LPL gene was shown to be associated with carcass traits and lipid deposition. Least squares analysis
revealed that there was a significant effect on live-weight (LW) (P < 0.01), average daily weight gain (ADG) and carcass weight (P < 0.05). Individuals with genotype BB had lower mean values than those with genotype AA and AB for loin eye area and viscera
fat weight (% of LW) in 25–36 months (P < 0.05). The results indicated that LPL gene is a strong candidate gene that affects carcass traits and fat deposition in
yak. 相似文献

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is important in the process of triglyceride storage in adipose tissue. Depression of LPL activity in adipose tissue is associated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p -dioxin (TCDD)-induced wasting syndrome and may have a role in the associated serum hyperlipidemia produced by TCDD. The 3T3-L1 cell line was used as an in vitro model, independent of hormonal, nutritional, or other interfering factors associated with in vivo studies, in order to systematically examine the mechanism of action of TCDD. TCDD produced a statistically significant (P < 0.05) time- and dose-dependent decrease in LPL activity. Results of experiments with Ah-receptor blockers and structure activity studies with different polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and dioxin congeners were consistent with reduction of LPL activity being mediated by the Ah receptor. Culturing of 3T3-L1 cells without glucose or with cytochalasin B, a blocker of facilitative glucose transporters (GLUT), was effective in reducing LPL activity (P < 0.05). TCDD did not further reduce LPL activity in cytochalasin B pretreated 3T3-L1 cells or in 3T3-L1 cells cultured in glucose-free media. Dexamethasone pretreatment, which is known to increase GLUT expression in 3T3-L1 cells, prevented the reduction of LPL activity by TCDD. Protein tyrosine kinase activities, assayed using γ-32P-ATP and RR-SRC, a src specific peptide substrate, were significantly increased (P < 0.05) over control levels by both TCDD and glucose deprivation. Furthermore, results of experiments treating 3T3-L1 cells with either insulin, EGF, 8-Br-cAMP, TPA, or genistein, alone or in combination with TCDD, were generally consistent with the hypothesis that lowered intracellular glucose and altered cellular kinase activities may be involved in reduction of LPL activities by TCDD. Further work is needed to confirm and better understand the role protein phosphorylation plays in TCDD-mediated alteration of glucose disposition and LPL activity. In summary, TCDD reduced LPL activity in 3T3-L1 cells as seen in vivo. Manipulation of glucose transport through a number of experimental approaches produced changes in 3T3-L1 LPL activity consistent with results of previous investigators showing glucose to be a positive regulator of LPL activity and consistent with our hypothesis that TCDD-mediated reduction of glucose transport is an important factor in the down regulation of LPL activity by TCDD. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
