title: Nutritional dependence of the effect of estrogen on fat cell lipoprotein lipase.
abstract: We investigated the effects of ethynylestradiol (EE) at low dose (1.2 micrograms/day) injected s.c. for 10 days on lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in fat cells of female rats fed a standard diet (5% lipid, 49.5% glucid, 23.5% protein) as a function of the nutritional state. EE caused a 150% increase in LPL activity in the fed state, and a 65% decrease in the fasting state, resulting in a large increment in the physiological feeding-fasting difference. Feeding the rats a diet supplemented with 20% lard reversed the estrogen-dependent LPL increase in the fed state. Under all experimental conditions, EE caused a depletion of fat stores and an increase in plasma levels of triacyglycerol.
