Glucose, and certain sugars that can readily be converted to glucose 6-phosphate, bring about an activation of adipose-tissue lipoprotein lipase when epididymal fat-bodies from starved rats are incubated in the presence of cycloheximide. Other substrates do not support the activation. If the tissue is preincubated in the presence of cycloheximide for longer than 2h, the ability of added glucose to activate the enzyme is lost. On the other hand, the addition of glucose still brings about an increase in lipoprotein lipase activity after preincubation in the absence of cycloheximide for as long as 4h. The magnitude of the increase in enzyme activity brought about by the addition of glucose is increased when protein synthesis is stimulated during the preincubation period by insulin. The results are interpreted in terms of the existence in adipose tissue of a proenzyme pool of lipoprotein lipase that is normally maintained by protein synthesis and that is converted to complete enzyme of higher specific activity by a process that specifically requires glucose.

The lipoprotein lipase activity of epididymal fat-bodies from starved rats was measured during incubations at 37 degrees C in vitro. Protein synthesis independent activation of the enzyme, previously observed during incubations at 25 decrease C, also occurs at 37 degrees C. Protein-synthesis-dependent increases in the activity of the enzyme occur in the presence of insulin and are markedly potentiated by glucocorticoids. The effects on the activity of the enzyme of insulin alone, or in the presence of glucocorticoids, are correlated with its effects on total protein synthesis in the tissue. Adrenaline antagonizes the increase in activity of the enzyme brought about by insulin and abolishes the potentiation of insulin action by glucocorticoids. These changes may be due, at least in part, to its stimulation of inactivation of the enzyme in the tissue. It is suggested that changes in adipose-tissue lipoprotein lipase activity that occur with changes in nutritional status in vivo result from the combined effects of changes in plasma insulin and glucocorticoid concentrations.

Adipose Tissue Lipoprotein Lipase

The activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in adipose tissue is modulated by changes in the nutritional status. We have measured LPL activity, mass, and mRNA levels in rat adipose tissue during normal feeding cycles, during short- and long-term fasting, and during refeeding after fasting. LPL activity displayed a diurnal rhythm. The activity was highest during the night and early morning, decreased to a minimum during the early afternoon, and then increased again. These changes corresponded to the feeding pattern. The increases and/or decreases resulted from changes in LPL synthetic rate compounded by posttranslational mechanisms. During short-term fasting, LPL specific activity decreased to < 30% of control. The specific activity was restored within 4 h by refeeding. On longer fasting, LPL mRNA decreased. This became significant from 36 h. On refeeding, it took 12 h to restore the mRNA levels, whereas tissue LPL activity and mass could not be fully restored by 36 h of refeeding. These data show that LPL activity during short-term fasting is regulated posttranscriptionally, which allows for quick upregulation after refeeding. On longer fasting, other mechanisms affecting LPL transcription and synthesis come into play, and upregulation after refeeding is slowed down.

The lipoprotein lipase (clearing-factor lipase) activity of the white adipose tissue from rats aged between 1 and 145 days was determined. Five adipose-tissue sites (epididymal, uterine, subcutaneous, perirenal and intramuscular) together with serum concentrations of triacylglycerol, cholesterol and glucose were studied. The pattern of enzyme-activity change was remarkably similar in all the sites studied, although the growth of the tissues proceeded non-uniformly. After a peak of activity early in suckling, lipoprotein lipase activity fell to low values by 20 days of age. At weaning (21 days) the activity increased sharply and within 5 days high values were regained. The serum triacylglycerol and cholesterol concentrations were low at birth and reached peaks of concentration coincidentally with the minima of white-adipose-tissue lipoprotein lipase activities, seen late in suckling. The changes in enzyme activity were related to other metabolic changes in adipose tissue and with the known changes in plasma insulin concentrations occurring during development.

Changes in adipose-tissue lipoprotein lipase activity that are independent of protein synthesis were investigated in an incubation system in vitro. Under appropriate conditions at 25 degrees C a progressive increase in the enzyme activity occurs that is energy-dependent. Part of the enzyme is rapidly inactivated when the tissue is incubated with adrenaline or adrenaline plus theophylline. The mechanism of this inactivation appears to be distinct from, and to follow, the activation of the enzyme. A hypothesis is presented to account for the results in terms of an activation of the enzyme during obligatory post-translational processing and a catecholamine-regulated inactivation of the enzyme as an alternative to secretion from the adipocyte.

The present studies were designed to delineate changes in heart and adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity following the administration of E. coli endotoxin. Plasma triglyceride levels were elevated in animals given endotoxin compared to saline-injected controls. Heart LPL activity decreased from 126.4 mumol fatty acid released per gram wet wt per hour in control rats to less than 22.5 mumol . g-1 . h-1 by 7 h following the injection of endotoxin. Although endotoxin was administered in doses producing 0-100% mortalities in a 24-h period, myocardial LPL activity was depressed to the same extent (75-80%) regardless of dose. The response of adipose tissue was less pronounced. Epididymal fat pad LPL activity fell significantly over the 24-h observation period in control and endotoxin-treated rats with the latter group somewhat more depressed 7 h after treatment. The findings are consistent with the suggestion that hypertriglyceridemia often observed during endotoxic shock may be related to depressed LPL activity; the degree of depression is probably tissue dependent.

Induction of lipoprotein lipase activity in brown adipose tissue (BAT) in response to cold stress has earlier been shown to be regulated by a beta-adrenergic mechanism and to be dependent on mRNA synthesis. In the present study, we have investigated the acute effects of refeeding after a short starvation period and the hormonal mechanism underlying the observed effects. Refeeding was found to rapidly increase tissue wet weight and lipoprotein lipase activity. The increase in enzyme activity could be blocked by the RNA synthesis inhibitor actinomycin D, indicating a gene activation. beta-Adrenergic blockade had no effect on this elevation of enzyme activity, but the increase could be mimicked by insulin injection. The results suggest that BAT contains two different pathways for regulation of lipoprotein lipase activity, both involving mRNA synthesis.
