Cyclic AMP and lipogenesis in fat cells from thyroidectomized rats

M Verhaegen, C Correze, E Krug

    Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology
    |June 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Thyroidectomy enhances lipogenesis in rat fat cells by altering glucose metabolism pathways. This process is independently regulated by cyclic AMP and insulin, in addition to the absence of thyroid hormones.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Metabolic Regulation
    • Cellular Metabolism

    Background:

    • Thyroid hormones are crucial regulators of lipid metabolism, influencing both lipogenesis and lipolysis.
    • Thyroidectomy, the surgical removal of thyroid glands, significantly impacts metabolic processes.
    • Understanding the intricate regulation of lipogenesis is vital for metabolic research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of thyroidectomy on lipogenesis in rat adipocytes.
    • To elucidate the specific metabolic pathways involved in thyroidectomy-induced lipogenesis.
    • To determine the roles of cyclic AMP and insulin in this process.

    Main Methods:

    • Thyroidectomy was performed on rats to study its effect on fat cells.
    • Glucose metabolism was analyzed using radiolabeled glucose ([1-14C]glucose and [6-14C]glucose).

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The influence of cyclic AMP (using MIX and DBcAMP) and insulin was assessed.

    • Main Results:

    • Thyroidectomy significantly increased glucose conversion to CO2 and fatty acids in rat fat cells.
    • A preferential shift towards the pentose cycle pathway was observed post-thyroidectomy.
    • Lipogenesis was shown to be dependent on cyclic AMP, but thyroidectomy's effect persisted independently.
    • Insulin further augmented glucose conversion in thyroidectomized rat fat cells.

    Conclusions:

    • Thyroidectomy enhances lipogenesis in rat fat cells through modifications in glucose metabolism.
    • Lipogenesis is under the independent control of thyroid hormone status, cyclic AMP, and insulin.
    • These three factors modulate lipogenesis through distinct, non-overlapping mechanisms.
