Alterations in mRNA levels, expression, and function of GTP-binding regulatory proteins in adipocytes from obese mice (C57BL/6J-ob/ob).
Messenger RNA levels for the alpha subunit of G-proteins expressed in adipocytes of lean and obese (ob/ob) mice were compared with relative levels of the encoded proteins. Using both toxin labeling and Western blots, expression of Gs alpha, Gi alpha-1, and Gi alpha-3 was decreased by approximately 2-fold in adipocytes of obese mice, while levels of Gi alpha-2 did not differ between the phenotyp...
متن کاملGlucose regulation of insulin receptor affinity in primary cultured adipocytes.
Treatment of primary cultured adipocytes with 20 mM glucose resulted in a progressive increase in specific 125I-insulin binding that began almost immediately (no lag period) and culminated in a 60% increase by 24 h. This effect was dose-dependent (glucose ED50 of 4.6 mM) and mediated by an increase in insulin receptor affinity. Moreover, it appears that glucose modulates insulin receptor affini...
متن کاملInverse regulation of leptin mRNA expression by short- and long-chain fatty acids in cultured bovine adipocytes.
Leptin is an adipose tissue-derived cytokine plays key roles in the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure. However, regulatory mechanisms of leptin gene expression are not fully elucidated in ruminants that utilize short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), known as volatile fatty acids, as principal energy sources. In this study, we determined effects of SCFA and long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) ...
متن کاملRegulation of GLUT4 gene expression by SREBP-1c in adipocytes.
Expression of the GLUT4 (glucose transporter type 4 isoform) gene in adipocytes is subject to hormonal or metabolic control. In the present study, we have characterized an adipose tissue transcription factor that is influenced by fasting/refeeding regimens and insulin. Northern blotting showed that refeeding increased GLUT4 mRNA levels for 24 h in adipose tissue. Consistent with an increased GL...
متن کاملSREBP-1-independent regulation of lipogenic gene expression in adipocytes.
Sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1c is now well established as a key transcription factor for the regulation of lipogenic enzyme genes such as FAS in hepatocytes. Meanwhile, the mechanisms of lipogenic gene regulation in adipocytes remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that those in adipocytes are independent of SREBP-1c. In adipocytes, unlike in hepatocytes, the stimulation of ...
