RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS2) is a well-documented inflammatory mediator of insulin resistance in obesity. NOS2 expression is induced in both adipocytes and macrophages within adipose tissue during high-fat (HF)-induced obesity. METHODS: Eight-week-old male mice with adipocyte selective deletion of the Nos2 gene (Nos2AD-KO) and their wildtype littermates (Nos2fl/fl) were subjected to chow or high-fat high-sucrose (HFHS) diet for 10 weeks followed by metabolic phenotyping and determination of brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis. The direct impact of NO on BAT mitochondrial respiration was also assessed in brown adipocytes. RESULTS: HFHS-fed Nos2AD-KO mice had improved insulin sensitivity as compared to Nos2fl/fl littermates. Nos2AD-KO mice were also protected from HF-induced dyslipidemia and exhibited increased energy expenditure compared with Nos2fl/fl mice. This was linked to the activation of BAT in HFHS-fed Nos2AD-KO mice as shown by increased Ucp1 and Ucp2 gene expression and augmented respiratory capacity of BAT mitochondria. Furthermore, mitochondrial respiration was inhibited by NO, or upon cytokine-induced NOS2 activation, but improved by NOS2 inhibition in brown adipocytes. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate the key role of adipocyte NOS2 in the development of obesity-linked insulin resistance and dyslipidemia, partly through NO-dependent inhibition of BAT mitochondrial bioenergetics.
