Starvation did not cause increase of hormone-sensitive lipase in rat epididymal adipose tissue. Adrenaline did not activate lipase in the fat cells, although it accelerated the release of free fatty acids from the cells. The results suggest that the mechanism of the stimulation of lipolysis by adrenaline is different from that in the cyclic AMP theory. Adrenaline-sensitive fat globules were prepared by hypotonic treatment of fat cells. Lipolysis in the fat globules was stimulated by adrenaline. It was shown that adrenaline-induced lipolysis in the fat globules was not due to activation of lipase but to initiation of a reaction between lipase and triglyceride. It is well known that calcium ions are essential for ACTH-induced lipolysis and that the hormone stimulates calcium uptake into adipose tissue. It was demonstrated that calcium ions accelerated formation of a complex between fat and lipase. The mechanism of the actions of adrenaline and ACTH are discussed on the basis of these results.

The reversible deactivation of chicken adipose tissue hormone-sensitive lipase alpha(previously activated with Mg2+ ATP and adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate) required Mg2+ and was inhibited by phosphate. These results are consistent with the assumption that deactivation of the protein kinase-activated enzyme is catalyzed by a lipase phosphatase. Cholesterol ester is catalyzed by a lipase phosphatase. Cholesterol ester hydrolase similarly was activated and reversibly deactivated. The activity of endogenous lipase phosphatase in pH 5.2 precipitate fractions was reduced, and in some cases eliminated, by incubation at 50 degrees for 20 min in buffer containing 20% glycerol. Heating at 50 degrees greatly increased the apparent percentage activation of triglyceride and cholesterol ester hydrolases but this was due to a selective decrease in basal (nonactivated) hydrolase activities. Essentially all endogenous lipase phosphatase could be removed by treatment of the pH 5.2 precipitate fraction with ATP-Sepharose affinity gel. The addition of a partially purified preparation of rat liver phosphorylase phosphatase deactivated triglyceride and cholesterol ester hydrolases. The deactivation process was concentration, 5 mM) and was inhibited by 5 mM phosphate and by phosphorylase alpha. Reversible deactivation of hormone-sensitive lipase alpha was also observed with crude prepa- and by phosphorylase alpha. Reversible deactivation of hormone-sensitive lipas alpha was also observed with crude preparations of phosphoprotein phosphatases from rat and turkey hearts, and from rat epididymal fat pads. Thus, hormone-sensitive lipase is deactivated by a variety of phosphoprotein phosphatases from different tissues and different species, implying a low degree of specificity for the deactivating system.

Cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase, purified to homogeneity from bovine lung, was shown to activate hormone-sensitive lipase partially purified from chicken adipose tissue. The degree of activation was the same as that effected by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase although higher concentrations of the cyclic GMP-dependent enzyme were required (relative activities expressed in terms of histone H2b phosphorylation units). Activation by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase was completely blocked by the heat-stable protein kinase inhibitor protein from skeletal muscle but activation by the cyclic GMP enzyme was not inhibited. Lipase fully activated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase showed no further change in activity when treated with cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. Lipase activated by cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase was reversibly deactivated by purified phosphorylase phosphatase (from bovine heart); full activity was restored by reincubation with cyclic GMP and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. Cholesterol esterase activity in the chicken adipose tissue fraction, previously shown to be activated along with the triglyceride lipase by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, was also activated by cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. Crude preparations of hormone-sensitive triglyceride lipase from human or rat adipose tissue and cholesterol esterase from rat adrenal were also activated by cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. Purified phosphorylase kinase (rabbit skeletal muscle) was also shown to be activated by cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. The present results, together with those of other workers on histone phosphorylation, suggest that the substrate specificities of cyclic GMP-dependent and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase may be similar. This is discussed in the light of a model recently proposed with regard to the relationship between the subunit structures of the two kinases. The physiologic significance of the findings remains to be established.

myo-Inositol deficiency in rats produced an overaccumulation of triacylglycerols in the liver due to stimulated lipolysis in the adipose tissue (Hayashi, E., Maeda, T. and Tomita, T. (1974) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 360, 134--155). The mechanism of the enhancement in lipolysis has now been investigated. The lipolytic response to adrenalin, corticotropin and insulin of the epididymal adipose tissue did not change due to the deficiency, but hormone-sensitive lipase activity, plasma adrenalin level and blood pressure were higher in the deficient rats. Adrenalectomy had no influence, but administration of sympathetic nervous blockers (reserpine, hexamethonium and bupranolol) inhibited the liver lipid deposition and an increase of serum free fatty acids in the deficient rats. These results indicate that the enhancement in lipolysis is mediated by an excitation of sympathetic nerve terminals innervating in the adipose tissues.

The effects of noradrenaline (NA) and isopropyl-noradrenaline (ISNA) on glycerol release and cAMP levels in sc adipose tissue were studied in vitro in 27 patients with hyperthyroidism. In 11 patients, the studies were repeated after 6--12 months of treatment for hyperthyroidism. A third group comprised 21 euthyroid patients otherwise healthy except for morbid obesity. The lipolytic response to ISNA, observed in untreated thyrotoxic patients, was found to be reduced by 30% when the patients were reexamined after treatment for thyrotoxicosis. This reduction was attributable to a decrease in the cAMP level. This was observed whether adipose tissue was incubated in the presence or absence of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, theophylline. Both NA and ISNA induced 50% more rapid glycerol release and 4 times higher cAMP levels in adipose tissue of the thyrotoxic subjects than in the obese euthyroid patients. A positive correlation between tissue cAMP and glycerol release, on one hand, and mean fat cell size, on the other hand, was observed in treated thyrotoxic patients and obese euthyroid patients but was not recorded in the untreated hyperthyroid patients. The basal rate of lipolysis was not altered in thyrotoxicosis. The results suggest that the enhanced lipolytic response to catecholamines in adipose tissue of hyperthyroid patients is due to increased beta-adrenergic responsiveness. In addition, a disruption in subsequent stages of the regulatory pathway at the level of protein kinase or hormone-sensitive lipase also seems possible.

A lipoprotein lipase in the bovine arterial wall has been identified and partially characterized. The enzyme has a Km apparent of 1 mM for triolein in a phosphatidylcholine stabilized emulsion. The lipase was stimulated 20- to 30-fold by the addition of heated rat plasma to the assay medium. The activity exhibited a pH optimum at 8.6. Protamine sulfate (1.0 mg/ml) inhibited the activity by 50%, whereas 1.4 M sodium chloride inhibited by 85%. Sodium fluoride, an inhibitor of the hormone-sensitive lipase, had no effect on the activity. Additions of low concentrations of heparin or Ca-2+ to the enzyme caused a slight stimulation of the lipolytic activity. A crude sectioning of the aorta revealed specific activity of lipoprotein lipase to be highest at the endothelial side of the artery.

Some alterations in lipid metabolism in mice were observed by the intraperitoneal injection of endotoxin from Salmonella typhimurium. The content of serum triglyceride increased markedly in poisoned mice 16-24 hr postintoxication. The level of free fatty acid (FFA) in the serum of endotoxin-administered mice decreased in inverse proportion to an increase in the injected dose of endotoxin. The electrophoretic analysis of the serum lipoprotein on cellulose acetate membrane showed that pre beta-lipoprotein increased markedly and that FFA fraction in the poisoned mice sera disappeared 18 hr postintoxication. The activity of hormone-sensitive lipase in adipose tissue was elevated appreciably 2 hr after injection, but decreased more significantly after 18 hr than that in fasted control mice. On the other hand, the activity of lipoprotein lipase decreased in the post-heparin serum and adipose tissue 3 hr postintoxication, and decreased significantly after 16 hr. There were no significant differences between changes in the formation of active glycerol (alpha-GP) and in the activity of alpha glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH) in the mice liver with or without administration of endotoxin, and after 16 hr levels of both hepatic alpha-GP content and alpha-GPDH activity in poisoned mice showed a tendency to be slightly lower than those in fasted control mice.

The administration of 5 I. U. oxytocin (by quick infusion) or of 5 I. U. vasopressin-lysine (intramuscularly) to healthy subjects was followed by a significant decrease in the plasma non-esterified fatty acid level. We regard this as evidence of inhibition of basal lipolysis in the adipose tissue. Vasopressin also completely blocked an increase induced in the plasma non-esterified fatty acid level by activating hormone-sensitive lipase in the adipose tissue by the infusion of 0.5 mg noradrenaline.

Whole homogenates prepared from tissue previously exposed to epinephrine displayed a 3-fold increased rate of lipolysis of endogenous substrate. When the aqueous infranatant phase of such homogenates was collected by centrifugation and assayed against exogenous triolein emulsions, no hormone effect could be demonstrated. Treatment of such infranatants with cAMP-dependent protein kinase prepared from muscle increased their lipase activity against exogenous triolein by 80%. Employing [3H]triolein emulsions as exogenous substrate, rates of lipolysis of both endogenous and exogenous glycerides were measured simultaneously in whole tissue homogenates. Prior treatment of the tissue with epinephrine increased the rate of lipolysis of endogenous glycerides an average of 3-fold but had no effect on the hydrolysis of exogenous triolein. By contrast, treatment of whole homogenates with protein kinase accelerated lipolysis of exogenous triolein without altering the rate of hydrolysis of endogenous glycerides. The data suggest that a second pathway of lipolysis activation occurs in response to epinephrine in addition to that involving a cAMP-mediated increase in the state of phosphorylation of the hormone-sensitive lipase.

A tri-, di-, and monoacylglycerol-hydrolyzing enzyme from rat adipose tissue has been detergent-solubilized and separated from monoacylglycerol lipase (H. Tornqvist and P. Belfrage, 1976, J. Biol. Chem. 251, 813-819) and lipoprotein lipase by use of ion-exchange chromatography, broad and narrow pH range electrofocusing and gel chromatography. The final preparation contained several different proteins. One of these, with an apparent minimum molecular weight of 86,000 by SDS-gel electrophoresis, was identified as the enzyme protein of hormone-sensitive lipase: a) the enzyme activity was reproducibly stimulated 50-100% by incubation with cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, cyclic AMP and ATP-Mg2+; b) the relative intensity of the Mw 86,000 protein band, and only this, closely paralleled the enzyme activity during narrow pH range electrofocusing and during subsequent gel chromatography of the electrofocusing enzyme peak fraction; c) only the Mw 86,000 protein extensively incorporated 32p from [gamma-32P]ATP after incubation with protein kinase and cyclic AMP. The pI of the enzyme was 6.7, it had the same Stokes radius on Sephadex G 200 as IgG and was 50% inactivated by 10 micron HgCl2, 20 micron PCMB, 50 micron DFP, 10 mM NaF and non-ionic detergents above their critical micellar concentration.
