Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Activation of macrophages by fatty acids (FAs) is a potential mechanism linking obesity to adipose tissue (AT) inflammation and insulin resistance. Here, we investigated the effects of FAs released during adipocyte lipolysis on AT macrophages (ATMs). METHODS Human THP-1 macrophages were treated with media from human multipotent adipose-derived stem (hMADS) adipocytes stimulated with lipolytic drugs. Macrophages were also treated with mixtures of FAs and an inhibitor of Toll-like receptor 4, since this receptor is activated by saturated FAs. Levels of mRNA and the secretion of inflammation-related molecules were measured in macrophages. FA composition was determined in adipocytes, conditioned media and macrophages. The effect of chronic inhibition or acute activation of fat cell lipolysis on ATM response was investigated in vivo in mice. RESULTS Whereas palmitic acid alone activates THP-1, conditioned media from hMADS adipocyte lipolysis had no effect on IL, chemokine and cytokine gene expression, and secretion by macrophages. Mixtures of FAs representing de novo lipogenesis or habitual dietary conditions also had no effect. FAs derived from adipocyte lipolysis were taken up by macrophages and stored as triacylglycerol droplets. In vivo, chronic treatment with an antilipolytic drug did not modify gene expression and number of ATMs in mice with intact or defective Tlr4. Stimulation of adipocyte lipolysis increased storage of neutral lipids by macrophages without change in number and phenotype. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Our data suggest that adipocyte lipolysis does not activate inflammatory pathways in ATMs, which instead may act as scavengers of FAs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Catecholamines and natriuretic peptides (NPs) are the only hormones with pronounced lipolytic effects in human white adipose tissue. Although catecholamine-induced lipolysis is well known to be impaired in obesity and insulin resistance, it is not known whether the effect of NPs is also altered. METHODS Catecholamine- and atrial NP (ANP)-induced lipolysis was investigated in abdominal subcutaneous adipocytes in vitro and in situ by microdialysis. RESULTS In a cohort of 122 women, both catecholamine- and ANP-induced lipolysis in vitro was markedly attenuated in obesity (n=87), but normalized after substantial body weight loss (n=52). The impairment of lipolysis differed between the two hormones when expressing lipolysis per lipid weight, the ratio of stimulated over basal (spontaneous) lipolysis rate or per number of adipocytes. Thus, while the response to catecholamines was lower when expressed as the former two measures, it was higher when expressed per cell number, a consequence of the significantly larger fat cell size in obesity. In contrast, although ANP-induced lipolysis was also attenuated when expressed per lipid weight or the ratio stimulated/basal, it was similar between non-obese and obese subjects when expressed per cell number suggesting that the lipolytic effect of ANP may be even more sensitive to the effects of obesity than catecholamines. Obesity was characterized by a decrease in the protein expression of the signaling NP A receptor (NPRA) and a trend toward increased levels of the clearance receptor NPRC. The impairment in ANP-induced lipolysis observed in vitro was corroborated by microdialysis experiments in situ in a smaller cohort of lean and overweight men. CONCLUSIONS ANP- and catecholamine-induced lipolysis is reversibly attenuated in obesity. The pro-lipolytic effects of ANP are relatively more impaired compared with that of catecholamines, which may in part be due to specific changes in NP receptor expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Recent reports indicate that inter/intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT), composed by adipocytes underneath the deep fascia of the muscles, is positively correlated with aging, obesity and insulin resistance in humans. However, no molecular/cellular evidence is available to support these interactions. The current study aimed to better characterize human skeletal muscle-derived adipogenic progenitors obtained from obese volunteers and investigate the impact of derived adipocytes on insulin action in primary skeletal muscle cells. METHODS Primary cultured stroma-vascular fraction (SVF) obtained from vastus lateralis muscle biopsies of middle-aged obese subjects was immunoseparated (magnetic beads or flow cytometry). The characteristics and/or metabolic phenotype of CD56(+), CD56(-) and CD56(-)CD15(+) cellular fractions were investigated by complementary approaches (flow cytometry, cytology, quantitative PCR and metabolic assays). The effects of conditioned media from CD56(-)CD15(+) cells differentiated into adipocytes on insulin action and signaling in human primary myotubes was also examined. RESULTS Our data indicate that CD56(+) and CD56(-) cellular fractions isolated from cultured SVF of human muscle contain two distinct committed progenitors: CD56(+) cells (that is, satellite cells) as myogenic progenitors and CD15(+) cells as adipogenic progenitors, respectively. CD56(-)CD15(+)-derived adipocytes display the phenotype and metabolic properties of white adipocytes. Secretions of CD56(-)CD15(+) cells differentiated into functional white adipocytes reduced insulin-mediated non-oxidative glucose disposal (P=0.0002) and insulin signaling. CONCLUSIONS Using in-vitro models, we show for the first time that secretions of skeletal muscle adipocytes are able to impair insulin action and signaling of muscle fibers. This paracrine effect could explain, at least in part, the negative association between high levels of IMAT and insulin sensitivity in obesity and aging.

Abstract
The presence of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in human adults opens attractive perspectives to treat metabolic disorders. Indeed, BAT dissipates energy as heat via uncoupling protein (UCP)1. Brown adipocytes are located in specific deposits or can emerge among white fat through the so-called browning process. Although numerous inducers have been shown to drive this process, no study has investigated whether it could be controlled by specific metabolites. Here, we show that lactate, an important metabolic intermediate, induces browning of murine white adipose cells with expression of functional UCP1. Lactate-induced browning also occurs in human cells and in vivo. Lactate controls Ucp1 expression independently of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and PPARα pathways but requires active PPARγ signaling. We demonstrate that the lactate effect on Ucp1 is mediated by intracellular redox modifications as a result of lactate transport through monocarboxylate transporters. Further, the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate, another metabolite that impacts redox state, is also a strong browning inducer. Because this redox-dependent increase in Ucp1 expression promotes an oxidative phenotype with mitochondria, browning appears as an adaptive mechanism to alleviate redox pressure. Our findings open new perspectives for the control of adipose tissue browning and its physiological relevance.

Abstract
We have previously shown near infrared light (NIr), directed transcranially, mitigates the loss of dopaminergic cells in MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine)-treated mice, a model of parkinsonism. These findings complement others suggesting NIr treatment protects against damage from various insults. However one puzzling feature of NIr treatment is that unilateral exposure can lead to a bilateral healing response, suggesting NIr may have 'indirect' protective effects. We investigated whether remote NIr treatment is neuroprotective by administering different MPTP doses (50-, 75-, 100-mg/kg) to mice and treating with 670-nm light directed specifically at either the head or body. Our results show that, despite no direct irradiation of the damaged tissue, remote NIr treatment produces a significant rescue of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive cells in the substantia nigra pars compacta at the milder MPTP dose of 50-mg/kg (∼30% increase vs sham-treated MPTP mice, p<0.05). However this protection did not appear as robust as that achieved by direct irradiation of the head (∼50% increase vs sham-treated MPTP mice, p<0.001). There was no quantifiable protective effect of NIr at higher MPTP doses, irrespective of the delivery mode. Astrocyte and microglia cell numbers in substantia nigra pars compacta were not influenced by either mode of NIr treatment. In summary, the findings suggest that treatment of a remote tissue with NIr is sufficient to induce protection of the brain, reminiscent of the 'abscopal effect' sometimes observed in radiation treatment of metastatic cancer. This discovery has implications for the clinical translation of light-based therapies, providing an improved mode of delivery over transcranial irradiation.

Abstract
Acetylcholine, and to a lesser extent ATP, mediates neurogenic contractions of bladder smooth muscle. Recently, the urothelium and lamina propria have also been shown to have contractile properties, but the neurotransmitters involved in mediating responses to nerve stimulation have not been investigated. Isolated strips of porcine urothelium with lamina propria were electrically field stimulated and contractions recorded. Drugs interfering with neurotransmission were then employed to identify which neurotransmitters mediated responses. Strips of urothelium/lamina propria developed spontaneous contractions with a frequency of 3.5±0.1 cycles min⁻¹ and amplitude of 0.84±0.06 g. Electrical field stimulation at 5, 10, and 20 Hz resulted in frequency-related contractions (1.13±0.36 g, 1.59±0.46 g and 2.20±0.53 g, respectively, n=13), and these were reduced in the presence of tetrodotoxin (1 μm) by 77±20% at 5 Hz, 79±7% at 10 Hz and 74±12% at 20 Hz (all P<0.01), indicating they were predominantly neurogenic in nature. Neither the muscarinic antagonist atropine (10 μm), the adrenergic neurone blocker guanethidine (10 μm) nor desensitization of the purinergic receptors with α,β-methylene ATP (10 μm) affected the contractile amplitude. Similarly, responses were not affected by the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NNA (100 μm) or drugs that interfere with peptide neurotransmission (capsaicin, NK2 antagonist GR159897, protease inhibitors). In conclusion, electrical depolarization of the nerves present in the porcine urothelium/lamina propria results in frequency-dependent contractions, which are predominantly neurogenic in nature. These contractions are resistant to drugs that inhibit the adrenergic, cholinergic and purinergic systems. The neurotransmitter involved in the responses of this tissue is therefore unknown but does not appear to be a peptide.

Abstract
Leptin is known to exert cardiodepressive effects and to induce left ventricular (LV) remodelling. Nevertheless, the autocrine and/or paracrine activities of this adipokine in the context of post-infarct dysfunction and remodelling have not yet been elucidated. Therefore, we have investigated the evolution of myocardial leptin expression following myocardial infarction (MI) and evaluated the consequences of specific cardiac leptin inhibition on subsequent LV dysfunction. Anaesthetized rats were subjected to temporary coronary occlusion. An antisense oligodesoxynucleotide (AS ODN) directed against leptin mRNA was injected intramyocardially along the border of the infarct 5 days after surgery. Cardiac morphometry and function were monitored by echocardiography over 11 weeks following MI. Production of myocardial leptin and pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 were assessed by ELISA. Our results show that (1) cardiac leptin level peaks 7 days after reperfused MI; (2) intramyocardial injection of leptin-AS ODN reduces early IL-1β and IL-6 overexpression and markedly protects contractile function. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that cardiac leptin expression after MI could contribute to the evolution towards heart failure through autocrine and/or paracrine actions. The detrimental effect of leptin could be mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and IL-6. Our data could constitute the basis of new therapeutic approaches aimed to improve post-MI outcome.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of isoproterenol and prednisolone in the treatment of subcutaneous lipomas. METHODS The first experiment evaluated in vitro lipolysis induced by isoproterenol 10(-6) M alone and across a range of prednisolone concentrations to determine the optimal dose to maximize lipolysis. The second experiment evaluated lipolysis in a lipoma and subcutaneous fat by in vivo microdialysis in five subjects to isoproterenol 10(-6) M with and without prednisolone 10(-6) M. These five subjects and five additional subjects had a lipoma treated five times a week for 4 weeks in a 4-cm grid with 0.2 ml injections of 10(-6) M isoproterenol and 10(-6) M prednisolone. Lipoma size was followed monthly for 1 year or until surgical removal. RESULTS Prednisolone increased in vitro lipolysis to isoproterenol and 10(-6) M was the optimal concentration of both drugs. Lipomas responded with less lipolysis to isoproterenol than subcutaneous fat during microdialysis, and prednisolone treatment increased lipolysis in both lipomas and subcutaneous fat. Injection treatment of the lipomas decreased their volume 50%. All but one lipoma grew after treatment. Eight of the 10 subjects elected for surgical treatment, and the histology of the lipomas was normal fat tissue. CONCLUSIONS Prednisolone and isoproterenol in combination increased lipolysis, and injections of the combination into lipomas decreased their volume 50% over 4 weeks. Eight of the 10 subjects elected for surgical removal.

Abstract
Fat oxidation (FO) is optimized during low- to moderate-intensity exercise in lean and obese subjects, whereas high-intensity exercise induces preferential FO during the recovery period. After food intake during the postexercise period, it is unknown if FO differs according to the intensity exercise in overweight subjects. Fat oxidation was thus evaluated in overweight men after low- and high-intensity exercise during the recovery period before and after food intake as well as during a control session. Ten healthy, sedentary, overweight men (age, 27.9 +/- 5.6 years; body mass index, 27.8 +/- 1.3 kg m(-2); maximal oxygen consumption, 37 +/- 3.9 mL min(-1) kg(-1)) exercised on a cycloergometer (energy expenditure = 300 kcal) at 35% (E35) or 70% (E70) maximal oxygen consumption or rested (Cont). The subjects were fed 30 minutes after the exercise with 300 kcal (1256 kJ) more energy in the exercise sessions than in the Cont session. Respiratory quotient and FO were calculated by indirect calorimetry. Blood samples were analyzed to measure plasma glycerol, nonesterified fatty acid, glucose, and insulin. During exercise, mean respiratory quotient was lower (P < .05) and FO was higher (P < .01) in the E35 than in the E70 session (FO [in mg min(-1)]: E35 = 290 +/- 12, E70 = 256 +/- 38, and Cont = 131 +/- 7). Conversely, FO was higher in the E70 than in both the E35 session and the Cont session during the immediate recovery as well as during the postprandial recovery period (P = .005 for all; FO from the end of the exercise to the end of the session [in grams]: E70 = 45.7 +/- 8.9, E35 = 38.2 +/- 6.8, and Cont = 36.0 +/- 4.3). Blood parameters did not differ between the 3 sessions but changed according to the absorption of the nutrients. In overweight subjects, high-intensity exercise increased FO during the postexercise period even after food intake compared with the low-intensity exercise and the control session.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acquired and inherited risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and the incidence of symptomatic VTE were investigated in patients on adjuvant chemotherapy for breast or gastrointestinal cancer (GI). PATIENTS AND METHODS In a prospective observational study (January 2003 and February 2006), 199 GI (82 women/117 men; age range, 26-84 years) and 182 breast (180 women/2 men; age range, 29-85 years) cancer patients were enrolled and followed-up for symptomatic VTE during adjuvant chemotherapy. The effect of acquired (i.e. age, chemotherapy, tumour histotype, history of thrombosis, body mass index and smoking) and inherited risk factors [i.e. antithrombin, protein C (PC), protein S, homocysteine, activated PC resistance, factor V Leiden (FVL) and prothrombin (PT) mutations) was prospectively evaluated. RESULTS Overall, 30 VTE events (7.87%) were recorded: 28 (7.35%) during treatment and 2 (0.52%) during the subsequent follow-up. Among all the 381 cancer patients, FVL was detected in 14 cases (3.67%) and PT mutation in 10 cases (2.62%). Multivariate analysis showed a significant association between the development of VTE and both thrombocytosis [hazard ratio (HR) 1.65; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.04-2.637, P <0.0341] and a prior episode of thrombosis (HR 7.6; 95% CI, 1.77-33.1, P <0.006). FVL and PT mutations were not associated with the risk for VTE. CONCLUSION The present data indicate thrombocytosis and history of thrombosis as risk factors for development of a thrombotic event during adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with malignant diseases.

Abstract
Human fat cell lipolysis was, until recently, thought to be mediated exclusively by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)-regulated pathway under the control of catecholamines and insulin. We have shown that atrial- and B-type natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP respectively) stimulate lipolysis in human fat cells through a cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) signaling pathway independent of cAMP production and PKA activity. Pharmacological or physiological (exercise) increases in plasma ANP levels stimulate lipid mobilization in humans. This pathway becomes important during chronic treatment with beta-adrenoceptor antagonists, which inhibit catecholamine-induced lipolysis but enhance cardiac ANP release. These findings have metabolic implications and point to potential problems when natriuretic peptide secretion is altered or during therapeutic use of recombinant BNP.

Abstract
Increased intramyocellular triglyceride (IMTG) content is found in both insulin-sensitive endurance-trained subjects and insulin-resistant obese/type 2 diabetic subjects. A high turnover rate of the IMTG pool in athletes is proposed to reduce accumulation of lipotoxic intermediates interfering with insulin signaling. IMTG turnover is a composite measure of the dynamic balance between lipolysis and lipid synthesis; both are influenced by mitochondrial fat oxidation and plasma free fatty acid availability. Therefore, more attention should be given to the factors controlling the rate of turnover of IMTG. In this review, particular attention has been given to muscle oxidative capacity, plasma free fatty acid availability, and IMTG hydrolysis (lipolysis) and synthesis. A higher oxidative, lipolytic, and lipid storage capacity in the muscle of endurance-trained subjects reflects a higher fractional turnover of the IMTG pool. Thus the co-localization of intermyofibrillar lipid droplets and mitochondria allows for a fine coupling of lipolysis of the IMTG pool to mitochondrial beta-oxidation. Conversely, reduced oxidative capacity and a mismatch between IMTG lipolysis and beta-oxidation might be detrimental to insulin sensitivity by generating several lipotoxic intermediates in sedentary populations including obese/type 2 diabetic subjects. Further studies are clearly required to better understand the relationship between the rate of turnover of IMTG and the accumulation of lipotoxic intermediates in the pathophysiology of insulin resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) stimulates lipolysis in human adipocyte through a cGMP signalling pathway, the regulation of which is poorly known. Since phosphodiesterases (PDE) and neutral endopeptidase (NEP) play a major role in the regulation of the biological effects of natriuretic peptides in the cardiovascular and renal systems, we investigated whether these mechanisms could regulate cGMP signalling and ANP-mediated lipolysis in human adipocytes. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The presence of cGMP-specific PDE and NEP in differentiated pre-adipocytes and in mature adipocytes was evaluated by real-time qPCR and Western blot. The effect of non-selective and selective inhibition of these enzymes on ANP-mediated cGMP signalling and lipolysis was determined in isolated mature adipocytes. KEY RESULTS PDE-5A was expressed in both pre-adipocytes and adipocytes. PDE-5A mRNA and protein levels decreased as pre-adipocytes differentiated (10 days). PDE-5A is rapidly activated in response to ANP stimulation and lowers intracellular cGMP levels. Its selective inhibition by sildenafil partly prevented the decline in cGMP levels. However, no changes in baseline- and ANP-mediated lipolysis were observed under PDE-5 blockade using various inhibitors. In addition, NEP mRNA and protein levels gradually increased during the time-course of pre-adipocyte differentiation. Thiorphan, a selective NEP inhibitor, completely abolished NEP activity in human adipocyte membranes but did not modify ANP-mediated lipolysis. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Functional PDE-5A and NEP activities were present in human adipocytes, however these enzymes did not play a major role in the regulation of ANP-mediated lipolysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore sex differences in the regulation of lipolysis during exercise, the lipid-mobilizing mechanisms in the subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT) of overweight men and women were studied using microdialysis. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES Subjects matched for age, BMI, and physical fitness performed two 30-minute exercise bouts in a randomized fashion: the first test at 30% and 50% of their individual maximal oxygen uptake (Vo(2max)) and the second test at 30% and 70% of their Vo(2max). RESULTS In both groups, an exercise-dependent increment in extracellular glycerol concentration (EGC) was observed. Whatever the intensity, phentolamine [alpha-adrenergic receptor (AR) antagonist] added to a dialysis probe potentiated exercise-induced lipolysis only in men. In a probe containing phentolamine plus propranolol (beta-AR antagonist), no changes in EGC occurred when compared with the control probe when exercise was performed at 30% and 50% Vo(2max). A significant reduction of EGC (when compared with the control probe) was observed in women at 70% Vo(2max). At each exercise power, the plasma non-esterified fatty acid and glycerol concentrations were higher in women. Exercise-induced increase in plasma catecholamine levels was lower in women compared with men. Plasma insulin decreased and atrial natriuretic peptide increased similarly in both groups. DISCUSSION Overweight women mobilize more lipids (assessed by glycerol) than men during exercise. alpha(2)-Anti-lipolytic effect was functional in SCAT of men only. The major finding is that during low-to-moderate exercise periods (30% and 50% Vo(2max)), lipid mobilization in SCAT relies less on catecholamine-dependent stimulation of beta-ARs than on an increase in plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentrations and the decrease in plasma insulin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to compare the effect of different exercise intensities on lipid oxidation in overweight men and women. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES Nine young, healthy, overweight men and women were studied (age, 31.4 +/- 2.3 and 26.7 +/- 2.1 years; BMI, 27.9 +/- 0.4 and 27.2 +/- 0.5; for men and women, respectively). On one study day, the subjects first performed 30 minutes of cycling exercise at 30% of their maximal oxygen uptake (Vo(2max); E1 session), followed by 30 minutes of exercise at 50% Vo(2max) (E2 session). On a second study day, a similar E1 session was followed by 30 minutes of exercise at 70% Vo(2max) (E3 session). From the gas exchange measurements, the respiratory exchange ratio (RER) and the fat oxidation rate (FOR) were calculated. Plasma concentrations of glycerol and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) were assayed. RESULTS RER was significantly lower for women during only the E1 session. For both sexes, RER decreased over time during the E2 and E3 sessions. During the E1 session, the FOR per kilogram of lean mass (LM) was higher among women, and it did not change over time despite an increase in plasma NEFAs. FOR per kilogram of LM was higher during the E2 exercise for both sexes. During E2 and E3 sessions, as the exercise time was prolonged, the FOR/kg LM increased simultaneously with the increase in the plasma glycerol. DISCUSSION Lipid oxidation during exercise is optimized for moderate and lengthy exercise. The enhancement of lipid oxidation occurring over time during moderate- and high-intensity exercises could be, in part, linked to the improvement of lipid mobilization. This fact is discussed to shed light on exercise modalities as a tool for the management of overweight.

Abstract
The acute in vitro and in vivo effects of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) on the regulation of adrenergic lipolysis were investigated in human adipose tissue. The effect of a 2 h incubation, without or with LCFA (200 mumol/l), on basal and hormonally induced lipolysis was tested in vitro on isolated fat cells. The lipolytic response to epinephrine was enhanced by suppression of the antilipolytic alpha(2)-adrenergic effect. Then, healthy lean and obese male subjects performed a 45 min exercise bout at 50% of their heart rate reserve either after an overnight fast or 3 h after a high-fat meal (HFM: 95% fat, 5% carbohydrates). Subcutaneous adipose tissue lipolysis was measured by microdialysis in the presence or absence of an alpha-antagonist (phentolamine). In vivo, a HFM increased plasma levels of nonesterified fatty acids in lean and obese subjects. In both groups, the HFM did not alter hormonal responses to exercise. Under fasting conditions, the alpha(2)-adrenergic antilipolytic effect was more pronounced in obese than in lean subjects. The HFM totally suppressed the alpha(2)-adrenergic antilipolytic effect in lean and obese subjects during exercise. LCFAs per se, in vitro as well as in vivo, suppress alpha(2)-adrenergic-mediated antilipolysis in adipose tissue. LCFA-mediated suppression of antilipolytic pathways represents another mechanism whereby a high fat content in the diet might increase adipose tissue lipolysis.

Abstract
Thyroid dysfunction is associated with several abnormalities in intermediary metabolism, including impairment of lipolytic response to catecholamines in subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (SCAAT). Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a powerful lipolytic peptide; however, the role of ANP-mediated lipolysis in thyroid disease has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of thyroid hormones in the regulation of ANP-induced lipolysis as well as in the gene expression of hormone-sensitive lipase, phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B), uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2), natriuretic peptide receptor type A, and beta(2)-adrenergic receptor in SCAAT of hyperthyroid and hypothyroid patients. Gene expression in SCAAT was studied in 13 hypothyroid and 11 hyperthyroid age-matched women before and 2-4 mo after the normalization of their thyroid status. A microdialysis study was performed on a subset of nine hyperthyroid and 10 hypothyroid subjects. ANP- and isoprenaline-induced lipolyses were higher in hyperthyroid subjects, with no differences between the groups following treatment. Hormone-sensitive lipase gene expression was higher in hyperthyroid compared with hypothyroid subjects before treatment, whereas no difference was observed following treatment. No differences in gene expression of other genes were observed between the two groups. Following treatment, the gene expression of UCP2 decreased in hyperthyroid, whereas the expression of PDE3B decreased in hypothyroid subjects. We conclude that thyroid hormones regulate ANP- and isoprenaline-mediated lipolysis in human SCAAT in vivo. Increased lipolytic subcutaneous adipose tissue response in hyperthyroid patients may involve postreceptor signaling mechanisms.

Abstract
Head-down bed rest (HDBR) increases plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and decreases norepinephrine levels. We previously demonstrated that ANP promotes lipid mobilization and utilization, an effect independent of sympathetic nervous system activation, when infused into lean healthy men at pharmacological doses. The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate that a physiological increase in ANP contributes to lipid mobilization and oxidation in healthy young men. Eight men were positioned for 4 h in a sitting (control) or in a HDBR position. Indexes of lipid mobilization and hormonal changes were measured in plasma. Extracellular glycerol, an index of lipolysis, was determined in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT) with a microdialysis technique. A twofold increase in plasma ANP concentration was observed after 60 min of HDBR, and a plateau was maintained thereafter. Plasma norepinephrine decreased by 30-40% during HDBR, while plasma insulin and glucose levels did not change. The level of plasma nonesterified fatty acids was higher during HDBR. SCAT lipolysis, as reflected by interstitial glycerol, as well as interstitial cGMP, the second messenger of the ANP pathway, increased during HDBR. This was associated with an increase in blood flow observed throughout HDBR. Significant changes in respiratory exchange ratio and percent use of lipid and carbohydrate were seen only after 3 h of HDBR. Thus the proportion of lipid oxidized increased by 40% after 3 h of HDBR. The rise in plasma ANP during HDBR was associated with increased lipolysis in SCAT and whole body lipid oxidation. In this physiological setting, independent of increasing catecholamines, our study suggests that ANP contributes to lipid mobilization and oxidation in healthy young men.

Abstract
CONTEXT Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) may play a role in the development of insulin resistance. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether RBP4 adipose tissue mRNA expression and plasma level are related to insulin sensitivity during a diet-induced weight loss. DESIGN, SETTING, PATIENTS, AND INTERVENTION Obese women followed a dietary intervention composed of a 4-wk very low-calorie diet (VLCD), a 2-month low-calorie diet, and 3-4 months of a weight maintenance (WM) phase. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Clinical investigation was performed before and at the end of each phase. Insulin sensitivity was assessed with the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp. Adipose tissue mRNA and plasma levels of RBP4 were determined using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and ELISA, respectively. RESULTS Weight and fat mass decreased during VLCD and were stabilized during WM. Glucose disposal rate increased during VLCD and remained elevated thereafter. Plasma levels of RBP4 decreased after VLCD and, although increasing at subsequent phases, remained lower than prediet values. Adipose tissue mRNA levels were diminished after VLCD, and increased during low-calorie diet and WM to reach basal values. Basal RBP4 levels or diet-induced variations of RBP4 were not different in lean women and two groups of obese women with high- and low-insulin sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS Severe calorie restriction promotes a reduction in adipose tissue and plasma levels of RBP4. The study does not bring evidence for a role for RBP4 in the regulation of diet-induced changes in insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Increased adipose tissue secretion of adipokines and cytokines has been implicated in the chronic low-grade inflammation state and insulin resistance associated with obesity. We tested here whether the cardiovascular and metabolic hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) was able to modulate adipose tissue secretion of several adipokines (derived from adipocytes) and cytokines (derived from adipose tissue macrophages). SUBJECTS AND METHODS We used protein array to measure the secretion of adipokines and cytokines after a 24-h culture of human subcutaneous adipose tissue pieces treated or not with a physiological concentration of ANP. The effect of ANP on protein secretion was also directly studied on isolated adipocytes and macrophages. Gene expression was measured by real-time RT-quantitative PCR. RESULTS ANP decreased the secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-alpha, of several chemokines, and of the adipokines leptin and retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP-4). The secretion of the anti-inflammatory molecules IL-10 and adiponectin remained unaffected. The cytokines were mainly expressed in macrophages that expressed all components of the ANP-dependent signalling pathway. The adipokines, leptin, adiponectin and RBP-4 were specifically expressed in mature adipocytes. ANP directly inhibited the secretion of IL-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 by macrophages. The inhibitory effects of ANP on leptin and growth-related oncogene-alpha secretions were not seen under selective hormone-sensitive lipase inhibition. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION We suggest that ANP, either by direct action on adipocytes and macrophages or through activation of adipocyte hormone-sensitive lipase, inhibits the secretion of factors involved in inflammation and insulin resistance.
