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.

Cortisol is known to increase whole body lipolysis, yet chronic hypercortisolemia results in increased fat mass. The main aim of the study was to explain these two apparently opposed observations by examining the acute effects of hypercortisolemia on lipolysis in subcutaneous adipose tissue and in the whole body. Six healthy subjects were studied on two occasions. On one occasion hydrocortisone sodium succinate was infused iv to induce hypercortisolemia (mean plasma cortisol concentrations, 1500 ± 100 vs. 335± 25 nmol/L; P < 0.001); on the other occasion (control study) no intervention was made. Lipolysis in the sc adipose tissue of the anterior abdominal wall was studied by measurement of arterio-venous differences, and lipolysis in the whole body was studied by constant infusion of[ 1,2,3-2H5]glycerol for measurement of the systemic glycerol appearance rate. Hypercortisolemia led to significantly increased arterialized plasma nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA; P < 0.01) and blood glycerol concentrations (P < 0.05), with an increase in systemic glycerol appearance (P < 0.05). However, in sc abdominal adipose tissue, hypercortisolemia decreased veno-arterialized differences for NEFA (P < 0.05) and reduced NEFA efflux (P < 0.05). This reduction was attributable to decreased intracellular lipolysis (P < 0.05), reflecting decreased hormone-sensitive lipase action in this adipose depot. Hypercortisolemia caused a reduction in arterialized plasma TAG concentrations (P < 0.05), but without a significant change in the local extraction of TAG (presumed to reflect the action of adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase). There was no significant difference in plasma insulin concentrations between the control and hypercortisolemia study. Site-specific regulation of the enzymes of intracellular lipolysis (hormone-sensitive lipase) and intravascular lipolysis (lipoprotein lipase) may explain the ability of acute cortisol treatment to increase systemic glycerol and NEFA appearance rates while chronically promoting net central fat deposition.

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.
