β-Adrenergic receptor subtypes that mediate ractopamine stimulation of lipolysis1,2
Ractopamine HCl is an β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) ligand that was recently approved for use in swine to enhance carcass leanness. The RR stereoisomer of ractopamine is the most active of the four stereoisomers exhibiting the highest affinity and signaling response. The RR isomer exhibits selective activation of the porcine β2AR, which might limit the lipolytic response to ractopamine because th...
متن کاملAcute Stimulation of White Adipocyte Respiration by PKA-Induced Lipolysis
OBJECTIVE We examined the effect of β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) activation and cAMP-elevating agents on respiration and mitochondrial uncoupling in human adipocytes and probed the underlying molecular mechanisms. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Oxygen consumption rate (OCR, aerobic respiration) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR, anaerobic respiration) were examined in response to isoprot...
متن کاملThe Raf-1 kinase associates with vimentin kinases and regulates the structure of vimentin filaments.
Using immobilized GST-Raf-1 as bait, we have isolated the intermediate filament protein vimentin as a Raf-1-associated protein. Vimentin coimmunoprecipitated and colocalized with Raf-1 in fibroblasts. Vimentin was not a Raf-1 substrate, but was phosphorylated by Raf-1-associated vimentin kinases. We provide evidence for at least two Raf-1-associated vimentin kinases and identified one as casein...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor-alpha stimulates lipolysis in differentiated human adipocytes through activation of extracellular signal-related kinase and elevation of intracellular cAMP.
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) stimulates lipolysis in human adipocytes. However, the mechanisms regulating this process are largely unknown. We demonstrate that TNF-alpha increases lipolysis in differentiated human adipocytes by activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK), extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK), and elevation of intracellular cAMP. TNF-alpha activat...
متن کاملNaringin enhances osteogenic differentiation through the activation of ERK signaling in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
Objective(s): Naringin has been reported to regulate bone metabolism. However, its effect on osteogenesis remains unclear. The aim was to investigate the effect of naringin on osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) through the activation of the ERK signaling pathway in osteogenic differentiation. Materials and Methods: Annexin V-FITC assay and MTT assay ...
