RESUMO

PURPOSE: Investigate the pathways of glycerol-3-P (G3P) generation for triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis in retroperitoneal (RWAT) and epididymal (EWAT) white adipose tissues from high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice. METHODS: Mice were fed for 8 weeks a HFD and glycolysis, glyceroneogenesis and direct phosphorylation of glycerol were evaluated, respectively, by 2-deoxyglucose uptake, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK-C) activity and pyruvate incorporation into TAG-glycerol, and glycerokinase activity and glycerol incorporation into TAG-glycerol in both tissues. RESULTS: HFD increased body and adipose tissue mass and serum levels of glucose and insulin, which were accompanied by glucose intolerance. RWAT and EWAT from HFD-fed mice had increased rates of de novo fatty acid (FA) synthesis (52% and 255%, respectively). HFD increased lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity and content in EWAT (107%), but decreased in RWAT (79%). HFD decreased the lipolytic response to norepinephrine (57%, RWAT and 25%, EWAT), ß3-adrenoceptor content (50%), which was accompanied by a decrease in phosphorylated-hormone-sensitive lipase (~80%) and phosphorylated-adipocyte triacylglycerol lipase (~60%) in both tissues. HFD decreased the in vitro rates of glucose uptake (3.5- and 6-fold), as well as in glyceride-glycerol synthesis from pyruvate (~3.5-fold) without changes in PEPCK-C activity and content in RWAT and EWAT, but increased glycerokinase activity(~3-fold) and content (90 and 40%) in both tissues. CONCLUSION: The data suggest that direct phosphorylation of glycerol by glycerokinase may be responsible for maintaining the supply of G3P for the existing rates of FA esterification and TAG synthesis in RWAT and EWAT from HFD-fed mice, contributing, along with a lower lipolytic response to norepinephrine, to higher adiposity.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Investigate the glycerol-3-phosphate generation pathways in epididymal (EPI) and retroperitoneal (RETRO) adipose tissues from dexamethasone-treated rats. METHODS: Rats were treated with dexamethasone for 7 days. Glycerol-3-phosphate generation pathways via glycolysis, glyceroneogenesis and direct phosphorylation of glycerol were evaluated, respectively, by 2-deoxyglucose uptake, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK-C) activity and pyruvate incorporation into triacylglycerol (TAG)-glycerol, and glycerokinase activity and glycerol incorporation into TAG-glycerol. RESULTS: Dexamethasone treatment markedly decreased the body weight, but increased the weight and lipid content of EPI and RETRO and plasma insulin, glucose, non-esterified fatty acid and TAG levels. EPI and RETRO from dexamethasone-treated rats showed increased rates of de novo fatty acid synthesis (80 and 100%) and basal lipolysis (20%). In EPI, dexamethasone decreased the 2-deoxyglucose uptake (50%), as well as glyceroneogenesis, evidenced by a decrease of PEPCK-C activity (39%) and TAG-glycerol synthesis from pyruvate (66%), but increased the glycerokinase activity (50%) and TAG-glycerol synthesis from glycerol (72%) in this tissue. In spite of a similar reduction in 2-deoxyglucose uptake in RETRO, dexamethasone treatment increased glyceroneogenesis, evidenced by PEPCK activity (96%), and TAG-glycerol synthesis from pyruvate (110%), accompanied by a decrease in glycerokinase activity (50%) and TAG-glycerol synthesis from glycerol (50%). Dexamethasone effects on RETRO were accompanied by a decrease in p-Akt content and by lower insulin effects on the rates of glycerol release in the presence of isoproterenol and on the rates of glucose uptake in isolated adipocytes. CONCLUSION: Our data demonstrated differential regulation of glyceroneogenesis and direct phosphorylation of glycerol by glucocorticoids in EPI and RETRO from rats.
