چکیده
OBJECTIVE To test the effects of novel oral hypoglycemic agent A-4166 on lipolysis and lipogenesis in adipocytes from normal rats and non-obese, hypertriglyceridemic, insulin resistant and hypertensive rats (HTG) fed basal or high fat diet. METHODS Adult male Wistar rats and hereditary HTG rats (from our own colony) were used. They were fed either basal or high fat diet for three weeks. On the day of observation the active substance A-4166 was administered intragastrically by gavage 30 minutes before decapitation. Blood was collected for the determination of insulin, glycemia, non esterified fatty acids (NEFA) by using commercial kits. The isolated adipocytes were prepared from epididymal fat pads and lipolysis (by measurement of glycerol release) and lipogenesis (by estimation of labeled glucose incorporation into lipids) were determined. RESULTS The administration of A-4166 results in increased serum insulin and decreased serum glucose level in all rats irrespective of the diet. A significant diminution of serum NEFA levels was observed in A-4166 administered Wistar and HTG rats fed high fat diet. In both groups of rats fed basal diet the lipolysis was not affected by A-4166. However, a decrease of lipolysis was found after A-4166 in Wistar rats fed high fat diet. The stimulation of lipolysis by norepinephrine was not influenced by A-4166. A lowered basal lipolysis was found in HTG rats fed high fat diet. The stimulation of lipolysis by norepinephrine was diminished in HTG rats as compared to Wistar animals. Administration of A-4166 did not affect the stimulation of lipolysis by norepinephrine in HTG rats. A decrease of stimulatory action of insulin on lipogenesis was found in Wistar rats fed high fat diet and in all groups of HTG rats. The administration of A-4166 did not change the basal lipogenesis and also the effect of insulin on lipogenesis. CONCLUSIONS Besides the hyperinsulinemic and hypoglycemic effect of A-4166 also an influence on nonesterified fatty acid serum levels was observed in rats fed high fat diet. This can be partially explained by an antilipolytic action of hyperinsulinemia after A-4166. The studies of lipogenesis showed that Wistar rats fed high fat diet and HTG animals are resistant to the stimulatory action of insulin on lipogenesis and that administration of A-4166 did not affect this response to insulin.

Effects of adenosine A1 receptor antagonism on lipogenesis and lipolysis in isolated rat adipocytes.
Adenosine is secreted from adipocytes, binds to adenosine A(1) receptor and modulates various functions of these cells. In the present study, the effects of an adenosine A(1) receptor antagonist (DPCPX; 0.01, 0.1 and 1 microM) on lipogenesis, glucose transport, lipolysis and the antilipolytic action of insulin were tested in rat adipocytes. DPCPX had a very weak effect on lipogenesis and did no...

متن کاملPropionic acid and butyric acid inhibit lipolysis and de novo lipogenesis and increase insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in primary rat adipocytes
Fermentation of dietary fibers by colonic microbiota generates short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), e.g., propionic acid and butyric acid, which have been described to have "anti-obesity properties" by ameliorating fasting glycaemia, body weight and insulin tolerance in animal models. In the present study, we therefore investigate if propionic acid and butyric acid have effects on lipolysis, de nov...

The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the direct effect of genistein, daidzein and zearalenone on basal and hormone-induced lipogenesis and lipolysis in isolated rat adipocytes. In lipogenesis, daidzein and zearalenone were used at concentrations of 0.01, 0.1 and 1 mmol x L(-1) and genistein at concentrations of 0.01, 0.3, 0.6 and 1 mmol x L(-1). In lipolysis, concentrations of tested comp...
متن کاملStimulation of glucose utilization in 3T3 adipocytes and rat diaphragm in vitro by the sulphonylureas, glimepiride and glibenclamide, is correlated with modulations of the cAMP regulatory cascade.
The long-term hypoglycemic activity of sulphonylurea drugs has been attributed, in part at least, to the stimulation of glucose utilization in extra-pancreatic tissues. The novel sulphonylurea, glimepiride, gives rise to a longer lasting reduction in the blood sugar level in dogs and rabbits compared to glibenclamide (Geisen K, Drug Res 38: 1120-1130, 1988). This cannot be explained adequately ...
