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.

1. Alloxan-diabetic rats showed raised plasma triglyceride levels and low adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity compared with controls. Heart lipoprotein lipase activity appeared unaltered by the diabetic state. 2. Plasma post-heparin lipolytic activity was slightly but not significantly increased in the diabetic group. The significance of these findings is discussed.

Energy Dependent

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 lipoprotein lipase activity per adipocyte was increased in the genetically obese rat (fa/fa). However, there was no difference between obese and lean animals when the enzyme activities were related to adipocyte surface area. The possible implications of the findings are discussed.

Adipose Tissue Lipoprotein Lipase

Adipose tissue blood flow was measured in five depots, and plasma concentrations of glucose, insulin, and triglyceride were measured at 0, 15, 30, and 45 min after the start of a meal in unanesthetized, freely moving rats. In addition, adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity was measured in four depots before and 45 min after the start of a meal. Plasma glucose was significantly elevated only at the 15-min time point, and while plasma triglyceride increased these changes did not reach significance. Plasma insulin was significantly elevated at all time points after a meal. Feeding resulted in a consistent decrease of adipose tissue blood flow expressed per gram wet weight of tissue. This decrease was maximal at 30 min after the start of feeding. The decrease in adipose tissue blood flow averaged 45% at 45 min after the start of feeding for the five depots evaluated. Lipoprotein lipase activity significantly increased in the retroperitoneal and mesenteric fat depots at 45 min after the meal start, but did not change in the epididymal or dorsal subcutaneous fat depots. These results suggest that a decrease in adipose tissue blood flow is a normal result of a meal in the rat. The regional specificity of changes in adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity supports the concept of regional specificity of function for adipose tissue and suggests that the mesenteric and retroperitoneal depots are particularly important for the storage of triglycerides immediately after a meal.

Substrate Concentrations

The effects of species and plane of nutrition on serum activation of sheep adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase were studied over a range of substrate (triolein) concentrations. Serum, either from two species or from the same species on a different plane of nutrition, had differing effects on adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity. Serum from fed sheep was more effective than serum from fed rats in activating sheep adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase at low substrate concentrations. Serum taken from sheep on a restricted plane of nutrition, stimulated adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity at physiological substrate concentrations. The increased activity promoted by the factor(s) present in serum would ensure that those tissues (e.g. cardiac and skeletal muscle) which continue to synthesize lipoprotein lipase during fasting or nutritional restriction, are able to assimilate the relatively low amounts of circulating triacylglycerol.
