title: Influence of high-fat diet on amine oxidase activity in white adipose tissue of mice prone or resistant to diet-induced obesity.
abstract: Decreased monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity has been observed in adipose tissue of obese patients. Since substrates of MAO and semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) can modify adipocyte metabolism, this work investigates whether changes in amine oxidase activity may occur during white adipose tissue (WAT) development. We evaluated MAO and SSAO activities in WAT of high-fat diet (HFD) and low-fat diet fed mice. To distinguish the effect of HFD on its own from the effect of fat mass enlargement, obesity-prone transgenic line of the FVBn strain lacking beta3-adrenergic receptors (AR) but expressing human beta3-AR and alpha2-AR (mbeta3-/-, hbeta3+/+, halpha2+/-) was compared to its obesity-resistant control (mbeta3-/-, hbeta3+/+). As already reported, the former mice became obese while the latter resisted to HFD. No significant change in SSAO or MAO activity was found in WAT of both strains after HFD when expressing oxidase activity per milligram of protein. However, when considering the overall capacity of the fat depots to oxidize tyramine or benzylamine, there was an increase in MAO and SSAO activity only in the enlarged WAT of HFD-induced obese mice. Therefore, the comparison of these models allowed to demonstrate that the higher amine oxidase capacity hold in enlarged fat stores of obese mice is more likely the consequence of increased fat cell number rather than the result of an increased expression of MAO or SSAO in the adipocyte.
