title: Diversity of SREBP-1 gene expression in rat adipose tissue depots in response to refeeding after food restriction.
abstract: The SREBP-1c mRNA level and precursor (microsomal) form of SREBP-1 abundance were significantly higher in epididymal and perirenal than in subcutaneous white adipose tissue of control rats. Moreover, the SREBP-1c mRNA level and an amount of precursor form of SREBP-1 were significantly higher in the epididymal and perirenal white adipose tissue of rats maintained on restricted diet and refed ad libitum for 48 h as compared to the control animals. No significant effects of food restriction/refeeding on SREBP-1c mRNA level and an amount of precursor form of SREBP-1 were found in subcutaneous white adipose tissue. The mature (nuclear) form of SREBP-1 was significantly increased in the epididymal, perirenal and subcutaneous white adipose tissue of the food restricted/refed animals. The activity, protein level and the mRNA abundance of malic enzyme (one of the target genes for SREBP-1) increased significantly in the epididymal, perirenal and subcutaneous white adipose tissue of the food restricted/refed rats as compared to the control animals, however the increase in perirenal and epididymal was higher than in the subcutaneous white adipose tissue. The results presented suggest that SREBP-1c is differently expressed in various rat white adipose tissue depots both under basal (control) and dieting conditions.
