Regional differences in adrenoceptor binding and fat cell lipolysis in obese, postmenopausal women

Metabolism: Clinical and Experimental
D M BermanA P Goldberg

Abstract

In women there is an increase in visceral obesity, subcutaneous abdominal adipocyte lipolysis, and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) associated with weight gain after menopause. The mechanisms underlying this increase in adrenoreceptor (AR)-agonist catecholamine-stimulated lipolysis and abdominal obesity in postmenopausal women were studied in intact adipocytes isolated from the abdominal and gluteal subcutaneous fat depots in 19 obese (48% +/- 1% body fat, mean +/- SE) women with a mean +/- SE age of 58 +/- 1 years. The fat cell size and adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase (ATLPL) activity were similar in both sites. The maximal lipolytic responsiveness and sensitivity to isoproterenol were higher (P < .05) in abdominal compared with gluteal adipocytes, but maximal lipolytic response to a post-AR agent was similar. Abdominal adipocytes had a higher beta-AR ([3H]-CGP-12177) and alpha2-AR ([3H]-yohimbine) affinity than gluteal cells (P < .05), lower alpha2-AR density (P < .05), but similar beta-AR density as gluteal cells. Both abdominal and gluteal cell size correlated with alpha2-AR density (P < .01), but not with beta-AR density. Thus, a higher beta-AR affinity and lower alpha2-AR relative to beta-AR density may explain the ...Continue Reading

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
