Hormone-sensitive lipase deficiency suppresses insulin secretion from pancreatic islets of Lep ob/ob mice.

چکیده
It has long been a matter of debate whether the hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL)-mediated lipolysis in pancreatic beta-cells can affect insulin secretion through the alteration of lipotoxicity. We generated mice lacking both leptin and HSL Lep(ob/ob)/HSL(-/-) and explored the role of HSL in pancreatic beta-cells in the setting of obesity. Lep(ob/ob)/HSL(-/-) developed elevated blood glucose levels and reduced plasma insulin levels compared with Lep(ob/ob)/HSL(+/+) in a fed state, while the deficiency of HSL did not affect glucose homeostasis in Lep(+/+) background. The deficiency of HSL exacerbated the accumulation of triglycerides in Lep(ob/ob) islets, leading to reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. The deficiency of HSL also diminished the islet mass in Lep(ob/ob) mice due to decreased cell proliferation. In conclusion, HSL affects insulin secretary capacity especially in the setting of obesity.

Leptin constrains acetylcholine-induced insulin secretion from pancreatic islets of ob/ob mice.
Hypersecretion of insulin from the pancreas is among the earliest detectable metabolic alterations in some genetically obese animals including the ob/ob mouse and in some obesity-prone humans. Since the primary cause of obesity in the ob/ob mouse is a lack of leptin due to a mutation in the ob gene, we tested the hypothesis that leptin targets a regulatory pathway in pancreatic islets to preven...
متن کاملLoss of stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 improves insulin sensitivity in lean mice but worsens diabetes in leptin-deficient obese mice.
The lipogenic gene stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD)1 appears to be a promising new target for obesity-related diabetes, as mice deficient in this enzyme are resistant to diet- and leptin deficiency-induced obesity. The BTBR mouse strain replicates many features of insulin resistance found in humans with excess visceral adiposity. Using the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique, we determined...
متن کاملInsulin secretion is increased in pancreatic islets of neuropeptide Y-deficient mice.
Neuropeptide Y (NPY), whose role in appetite regulation is well known, is also expressed in pancreatic islets. Although previous studies indicated that application of NPY to pancreatic islets inhibits insulin secretion, its physiological role in the regulation of insulin secretion is not fully understood. We hypothesized that NPY in islets tonically suppresses insulin secretion and the reductio...
متن کاملLeptin suppression of insulin secretion by the activation of ATP-sensitive K+ channels in pancreatic beta-cells.
In the genetic mutant mouse models ob/ob or db/db, leptin deficiency or resistance, respectively, results in severe obesity and the development of a syndrome resembling NIDDM. One of the earliest manifestations in these mutant mice is hyperinsulinemia, suggesting that leptin may normally directly suppress the secretion of insulin. Here, we show that pancreatic islets express a long (signal-tran...
