Human Subcutaneous Fat by Lipid Infusion

چکیده
Little is known about the mechanisms involved in the preferential channeling of different fuels to fat and how the target tissue participates in this process. Dietary fatty acids have been shown to act as signaling molecules that bind and activate a new class of nuclear receptors, the peroxisome proliferatora c t ivated receptors (PPARs). PPA Ris particularly interesting because it may have the potential to link particular fatty acids with a program of gene expression involved in lipid storage and metabolism. We investigated whether a nutrient-sensing pathway is activated by an increased availability of lipid fuels in nine normal weight male volunteers. Using reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction analysis, the mRNA expression of fatty acid translocase (FAT ) / C D 3 6 , P PA R2, leptin, uncoupling protein (UCP)-2 and U C P-3, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)was investigated in gluteal subcutaneous fat biopsies before and after 5 h infusions of saline or Intralipid (Pharmacia and Upjohn, Milan, Italy) plus heparin, which does not modify insulinemia. Marked increases in FAT/CD36 (724 ± 18%; P < 0.05), PPA R2 (200 ± 8%; P < 0.05), leptin (110 ± 13%; P < 0.05), UCP-2 (120 ± 7%; P < 0.05), UCP-3 (80 ± 5%; P < 0.05), and TNFmRNA (130 ± 12%; P < 0.05) were observed in comparison with pretreatment levels, whereas there was no change after saline infusion. These data suggest that the in vivo gene expression of FAT / C D 3 6 , P PA R2, leptin, UCP-2, UCP-3, and TNFin subcutaneous adipose tissue is regulated by circulating lipids independent of insulin and that prolonged hyperlipidemia may therefore contribute to increased fat metabolism and storage as a result of the increased expression of these proteins.

Selected adipokines - plasma concentrations and adipose tissue expressions during 24-hour lipid infusion in healthy men.
Our aim was to assess the reaction of TNFalpha, resistin, leptin and adiponectin to lipid infusion. Eight healthy subjects underwent a 24-hour lasting infusion of lipid emulsion. Plasma concentrations and expressions of selected cytokines in subcutaneous fat were measured. TNFalpha plasma concentration did not change during the first 4 hours of hypertriglyceridemia, but a significant increase a...
متن کاملA single bout of exercise induces beta-adrenergic desensitization in human adipose tissue.
This study was designed to assess whether physiological activation of the sympathetic nervous system induced by exercise changes adipose tissue responsiveness to catecholamines in humans. Lipid mobilization in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue was studied with the use of a microdialysis method in 11 nontrained men (age: 22. 3 +/- 1.5 yr; body mass index: 23.0 +/- 1.6). Adipose tissue adrene...
متن کاملTransposition of Intravascular Lipid in Experimentally Induced Fat Embolism: A Preliminary Study
BACKGROUND Liposuction is a procedure to reduce the volume of subcutaneous fat by physical force. Intracellular storage fat is composed of triglyceride, whereas circulating fat particles exist as cholesterol or triglycerol bound to carrier proteins. It is unavoidable that the storage form of fat particles enters the circulation system after these particles are physiologically destroyed. To date...
متن کاملRegulation of uncoupling protein-2 and uncoupling protein-3 mRNA expression during lipid infusion in human skeletal muscle and subcutaneous adipose tissue.
To study the effect of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) on uncoupling protein-2 (UCP-2) and uncoupling protein-3 (UCP-3) gene expression, a triglyceride emulsion was infused for 5 h in 14 healthy volunteers. A euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp was administered concomitantly in 7 of the 14 subjects. The mRNA levels of UCP-2 and of the short (UCP-3S) and long (UCP-3L) isoforms of UCP-3 were quan...
متن کاملMechanisms Underlying the Onset of Oral Lipid–Induced Skeletal Muscle Insulin Resistance in Humans
Several mechanisms, such as innate immune responses via Toll-like receptor-4, accumulation of diacylglycerols (DAG)/ceramides, and activation of protein kinase C (PKC), are considered to underlie skeletal muscle insulin resistance. In this study, we examined initial events occurring during the onset of insulin resistance upon oral high-fat loading compared with lipid and low-dose endotoxin infu...
