title: Characteristics of lipolysis in white adipose tissues of SHR/NDmc-cp rats, a model of metabolic syndrome.
abstract: This study shows the characteristics of hormone-dependent lipolysis in white adipose tissues from corpulent spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR/NDmc-cp(cp/cp)). The glycerol-releasing activity on addition of norepinephrine (NE) and corticotropin (ACTH) was diminished in slices of epididymal, retroperitoneal, and mesenteric adipose tissues from cp/cp rats compared with those from Wistar Kyoto rats and lean spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR/NDmc-cp(+/+)). 8-Bromo-cyclic adenosine monophosphate had a slight effect on lipolysis in epididymal, retroperitoneal, and mesenteric adipose tissues from cp/cp rats, and addition of NE and ACTH resulted in a slight accumulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate in epididymal adipose tissue from cp/cp rats. Therefore, the alteration of hormone-dependent lipolysis-related genes was analyzed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. It was found that the expression of beta(3)-adrenergic receptor, melanocortin 2 receptor, hormone-sensitive lipase, and perilipin messenger RNAs was limited in epididymal, retroperitoneal, mesenteric, and subcutaneous adipose tissues from cp/cp rats compared with +/+ rats. These results indicate that in white adipose tissue from cp/cp rats, the diminished lipolytic response to NE and ACTH may be caused by impaired expression of beta(3)-adrenergic receptor, melanocortin 2 receptor, hormone-sensitive lipase, and perilipin.
