Adipose tissue-specific increase in angiotensinogen expression and secretion in the obese (fa/fa) Zucker rat.
We investigated angiotensinogen (AGT) expression in adipose tissue and liver of Zucker rats during the onset of obesity. The developmental pattern of AGT expression (protein and mRNA) in liver was similar in both genotypes. In inguinal adipose tissue, AGT cell content was similar in suckling and weaned pups in lean rats, whereas it continuously increased with age in obese rats. AGT amount in ad...
متن کاملLeptin production in human adipose tissue.
Following the initial confirmation of the existence of leptin in humans by Friedman and his colleagues (Zhang et al. I994), many publications rapidly appeared concerning all aspects of its regulation and action. However, only a small proportion of these have addressed the in vivo physiology of leptin in man. It is apparent that the main determinant of leptin concentrations in both animals and h...
متن کاملAdipose tissue leptin production and plasma leptin kinetics in humans.
Abdominal adipose tissue leptin production was determined in vivo by arteriovenous balance in 14 lean and obese men (mean BMI 27.0 +/- 1.9, range 21.4-45.2). Blood samples were taken simultaneously from an abdominal vein that drains subcutaneous adipose tissue and from a radial artery. Adipose tissue blood flow was measured by xenon washout. Abdominal vein leptin concentrations (mean 8.9 +/- 2....
متن کاملLeptin expression in adipose tissue from obese humans: depot-specific regulation by insulin and dexamethasone.
We investigated the in vitro regulation of leptin expression in adipose tissue from severely obese women and men before and after culture with insulin (7 nM) and/or dexamethasone (25 nM). Leptin mRNA and leptin secretion were two- to threefold higher in subcutaneous vs. omental adipose tissue before culture. Dexamethasone transiently increased leptin mRNA approximately twofold in both depots af...
متن کاملPrenatal leptin production: evidence that fetal adipose tissue produces leptin.
In the adult, circulating leptin is highly correlated to adipose tissue mass. Whether such a relationship exists prenatally is unknown, because the actual source of fetal leptin has not been determined. In the present study, we have assessed the placental contribution to fetal and maternal circulating leptin concentrations and determined whether fetal adipose tissue produces leptin. The rate of...
