Hormonal control of regional fat distribution.
Hormones exert powerful influences on body fat distribution in humans. Studies under fully controlled conditions in vitro have indicated that cortisol and insulin facilitate lipid accumulation by expressing lipoprotein lipase (LPL). Growth hormone (GH) abolishes this and turns metabolism towards lipid mobilization. Testosterone and GH inhibit LPL and stimulate lipolysis markedly. Cortisol effec...
متن کاملThe hormonal control of fat metabolism in animals.
Of the three main components of the adult animal, bone, skeletal muscle and fat, the fat depots have the most variable growth rate. Growth of adipose tissue depends on the coordinated increase in cell size (hypertrophy) and cell number (hyperplasia) in the fat tissues. The endocrine system will affect the balance between anabolic and catabolic processes within the adipocyte and will influence t...
متن کاملNutritional and hormonal control of muscle growth and fat deposition
This review will consider the processes of skeletal muscle (myogenesis) and fat (adipogenesis) development and the factors involved in regulating them in a variety of species. In particular, the effects of hormones and maternal nutrition during different stages of pregnancy on numbers and types of skeletal muscle fibres will be considered, along with possible underlying mechanisms. Similarly, e...
متن کاملTranscriptional control and hormonal response of thermogenic fat.
Obesity and its associated metabolic diseases present a major public health problem around the world. The discovery that thermogenic fat is active in adult humans has sparked a renewal of interest in the study of its development and function and in the feasibility of using modulators of thermogenesis to work against obesity. In recent years, it has been shown that there are at least two distinc...
متن کاملEffects of body fat distribution on regional lipolysis in obesity.
UNLABELLED To determine the contribution of the major body fat depots to systemic free fatty acid (FFA) availability, palmitate ([1-14C]-palmitate) release was measured from leg (lower body) and non-leg (upper body) fat in eight upper body obese (UB Ob), six lower body obese (LB Ob), and six nonobese (Non Ob) age-matched premenopausal women in the overnight postabsorptive state. Splanchnic palm...
