Igf I

The possible involvement of locally produced insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in the cold-induced hyperplasia of interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT) was investigated in 2-, 4-, and 7-day cold-exposed (CE, 4 degrees C) rats by measuring BAT IGF-I expression at a time when extensive BAT cell proliferation occurs. By comparison with thermoneutral (25 degrees C) controls, plasma IGF-I decreased in CE rats despite an increased food intake, whereas BAT IGF-I peptide increased markedly to peak after 4 days at 4 degrees C. The ratio of class 1 to class 2 IGF-I mRNA was much higher in BAT than in liver. BAT IGF-I mRNA levels per unit weight total RNA doubled after 2 days at 4 degrees C but decreased thereafter to the level in controls. Upregulation of BAT IGF-I mRNA also occurred in CE rats with a food intake restricted to the level of controls. The transient cold-induced upregulation of BAT IGF-I (per unit weight total RNA) suggests that IGF-I plays a role in the early cold-induced BAT hyperplasia that occurs in vivo.

Stimulation Of

Effects of unilateral surgical denervation of the interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) on its thermogenic and lipogenic responses to electrical stimulation of the ventromedial hypothalamic (VMH) nucleus were studied in anesthetized rats. The rapid rise in IBAT temperature in response to VMH stimulation was greatly suppressed in the denervated IBAT, whereas the temperature response was not impaired in the contralateral innervated IBAT in the same animals. Similarly, the increased rates of conversion of [14C] glucose and [3H]H2O to fatty acids and glyceride glycerol in vivo in IBAT after VMH stimulation were almost completely inhibited by sympathetic denervation. These results indicate clearly that the increases in lipogenic and thermogenic activities in IBAT in response to VMH stimulation are mediated by the sympathetic nerve supply of this tissue.

Glucose utilization indices (GUI) of interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) declined by 84% after 48 h starvation. Two-thirds of the overall response was observed within 6 h, correlating with decreased insulin concentrations. Re-feeding 48 h-starved rats restored insulin concentrations and evoked a rapid 15-fold increase in IBAT GUI. GUI values after re-feeding were markedly higher than those observed at equivalent insulin concentrations in control post-absorptive rats.

Obese (fa/fa) rats (30 days old) exhibited a 50% increase in the weight of interscapular brown adipose tissue compared with their lean (Fa/fa) littermates. The tissue weight increase was accounted for by an increased fat content. Lipogenesis in vivo, as assessed by the incorporation of 3H from 3H2O into lipid, was increased 5-fold in brown adipose tissue of obese as compared with lean rats. Accordingly, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, fatty acid synthetase, citrate-cleavage enzyme and malic enzyme in this tissue were 4-8 times more active in obese than in lean rats.

Response Percentage

The rate of blood flow (Q) to interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) and the arteriovenous difference in plasma noradrenaline (NA) across the tissue were measured in warm-acclimated (WA) or cold-acclimated (CA) rats during infusion of NA at doses of 1–12.5 ng min−1 g−0.74 (approximately 0.2–2.7 μg min−1 kg−1) and in the period of steady calorigenic response associated with steady concentration of NA in arterial plasma (ANA). ANA was linearly related to the dose of NA. Calorigenic response, percentage of cardiac output to IBAT, and Q per gram of IBAT were sigmoid functions of ANA and at their maxima were about 2.5 times greater in CA than in WA rats. The rate of uptake of NA by IBAT increased with ANA and Q, each of which had a major influence on rate, but the coefficient of extraction of NA by the tissue (ENAIBAT) declined. Measurements in rats given a dose of propranolol that partially inhibited the NA-induced increase in Q to IBAT indicated that the decline in ENAIBAT was attributable primarily to the increase in Q rather than to increasing saturation of uptake mechanisms. Diffusion-limited extraction of NA is the probable basis for the effect of Q on ENAIBAT. Possible implications of flow-dependent extraction of NA in studies involving measurements of the uptake of exogenous NA by tissues or organs are discussed.

Fatty acid synthesis was measured in vivo with 3H2O in interscapular brown adipose tissue of lean and genetically obese (ob/ob) mice. At 26 days of age, before the development of hyperphagia, synthesis in brown adipose tissue was higher in the obese than in the lean mice; synthesis was also elevated in the liver, white adipose tissue and carcass of the obese mice. At 8 weeks of age, when hyperphagia was well established, synthesis remained elevated in all tissues of the obese mice, with the exception of brown adipose tissue. Elevated synthesis rates were not apparent in brown adipose tissue of the obese mice at 14 days of age, nor at 35 days of age. These results demonstrate that brown adipose tissue in ob/ob mice has a transitory hyperlipogenesis at, and just after, weaning on to a low-fat/high-carbohydrate diet. Once hyperphagia has developed, by week 5 of life, brown adipose tissue is the only major lipogenic tissue in the obese mice not to exhibit elevated rates of fatty acid synthesis; this suggests that insulin resistance develops much more rapidly in brown adipose tissue than in other lipogenic tissues of the ob/ob mouse.

Lipogenic response to feeding was measured in vivo in liver, epididymal white adipose tissue (WAT) and interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT), during the development of obesity in gold-thioglucose (GTG)-injected mice. The fatty acid synthesis after a meal was higher in all tissues of GTG-treated mice on a total-tissue basis, but the magnitude of this increase varied, depending on the tissue and the time after the initiation of obesity. Lipogenesis in BAT from GTG mice was double that of control mice for the first 2 weeks, but subsequently decreased to near control values. In WAT, lipogenesis after feeding was highest 2-4 weeks after GTG injection, and in liver, lipid synthesis in fed obese mice was greatest at 7-12 weeks after the induction of obesity. The post-prandial insulin concentration was increased after 2 weeks of obesity, and serum glucose concentration was higher in fed obese mice after 4 weeks. These results indicate that increased lipogenesis in GTG-injected mice may be due to an increase in insulin concentration after feeding and that insulin resistance (assessed by lipogenic response to insulin release) is apparent in BAT before WAT and liver.
