ObjectiveApelin is a novel adipokine acting on APJ receptor, regulated by insulin and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in adipose tissue (AT). Plasma apelin levels are increased in obese hyperinsulinemic subjects. The aim was to investigate whether the hypocaloric diet associated with weight loss modifies the elevated plasma apelin levels and the expression of apelin and APJ receptor in AT in obese women.Design and methodsFasting plasma levels of apelin and TNF-α as well as mRNA levels of apelin and APJ in AT were measured before and after a 12-week hypocaloric weight-reducing diet in 20 obese women (body mass index (BMI) before diet 32.2±6.4 kg/m2). Twelve healthy women with a BMI of 20.7±0.6 kg/m2 served as reference.ResultsPlasma levels of apelin and TNF-α were higher in obese compared with lean controls. The hypocaloric diet resulted in a significant decrease of BMI to 29.8±6.3 kg/m2, plasma insulin (8.16±0.73 to 6.58±0.66 mU/l), apelin (369±25 pg/ml to 257±12 pg/ml), TNF-α levels (0.66±0.04 pg/ml to 0.56±0.04 pg/ml), and AT mRNAs of apelin and APJ. In addition, changes in AT mRNA apelin were related to changes in AT mRNA APJ levels.ConclusionThe hypocaloric diet associated with weight loss reduces the increased plasma and AT expression of apelin in obese women. This reduced apelin expression in AT could contribute to decreased circulating apelin levels.

We investigated the in vitro regulation of leptin expression in adipose tissue from severely obese women and men before and after culture with insulin (7 nM) and/or dexamethasone (25 nM). Leptin mRNA and leptin secretion were two- to threefold higher in subcutaneous vs. omental adipose tissue before culture. Dexamethasone transiently increased leptin mRNA approximately twofold in both depots after 1 day of culture [ P < 0.01 vs. basal (no hormone control)], but leptin secretion was only increased in omental adipose tissue ( P < 0.005 vs. basal). Insulin did not increase leptin mRNA in either depot but increased leptin secretion ∼1.5- to 3-fold in subcutaneous tissue throughout 7 days of culture ( P < 0.05 vs. basal). The combination of insulin and dexamethasone increased leptin mRNA and leptin secretion approximately two- to threefold in both depots at day 1( P < 0.005 vs. basal or insulin) and maintained leptin expression throughout 7 days of culture. We conclude that insulin and glucocorticoid have depot-specific effects and function synergistically as long-term regulators of leptin expression in omental and subcutaneous adipose tissue from obese subjects.

In obese individuals, reduced atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) bioavailability appears to promote arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes likely through direct metabolic actions. Mid-regional pro-ANP is cleaved off during ANP processing, thus, serving as ANP release marker. We hypothesized that dietary weight reduction improves ANP release. In 75 overweight and obese women and men who had lost >5% body weight during six months hypocaloric dieting (-9.1±3.8 kg), we analyzed venous mid-regional pro-ANP and natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR) expression in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue before and after the intervention. Participants underwent ambulatory blood pressure (ABPM) monitoring and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. ABPM decreased from 118±9/73±7 to 115±9/71±6 mm Hg and left ventricular mass from 92±20 to 86±19 g (p<0.05 for all). End-diastolic and end-systolic volumes remained unchanged. Mid-regional pro-ANP plasma concentrations did not respond to weight loss (before: 51±24 pmol/; after 53± 24 pmol/l) and increased similarly during exercise testing. Adipose NPR-A mRNA expression remained unchanged whereas NPR-C receptor mRNA decreased from 1.2±0.7 to 1.0±0.5 (p<0.05). Our data suggest that dietary weight loss does not augment ANP release in overweight and obese subjects. However, weight loss could improve ANP bioavailability through decreased clearance. Possible mechanisms are reduced fat mass and reduced expression of adipose tissue ANP scavenger receptor NPR-C.

Adiponectin is an adipose tissue-specific protein that is abundantly present in the circulation and suggested to be involved in insulin sensitivity and development of atherosclerosis. Because cytokines are suggested to regulate adiponectin, the aim of the present study was to investigate the interaction between adiponectin and three adipose tissue-derived cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α). The study was divided into three substudies as follows: 1) plasma adiponectin and mRNA levels in adipose tissue biopsies from obese subjects [mean body mass index (BMI): 39.7 kg/m2, n = 6] before and after weight loss; 2) plasma adiponectin in obese men (mean BMI: 38.7 kg/m2, n = 19) compared with lean men (mean BMI: 23.4 kg/m2, n = 10) before and after weight loss; and 3) in vitro direct effects of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α on adiponectin mRNA levels in adipose tissue cultures. The results were that 1) weight loss resulted in a 51% ( P < 0.05) increase in plasma adiponectin and a 45% ( P < 0.05) increase in adipose tissue mRNA levels; 2) plasma adiponectin was 53% ( P < 0.01) higher in lean compared with obese men, and plasma adiponectin was inversely correlated with adiposity, insulin sensitivity, and IL-6; and 3) TNF-α ( P < 0.01) and IL-6 plus its soluble receptor ( P < 0.05) decreased adiponectin mRNA levels in vitro. The inverse relationship between plasma adiponectin and cytokines in vivo and the cytokine-induced reduction in adiponectin mRNA in vitro suggests that endogenous cytokines may inhibit adiponectin. This could be of importance for the association between cytokines (e.g., IL-6) and insulin resistance and atherosclerosis.
