  • Title: Cyclic AMP metabolism in adipose tissue of exercise-trained rats.
    Author: Askew EW, Hecker AL, Coppes VG, Stifel FB.
    Journal: J Lipid Res; 1978 Aug; 19(6):729-36. PubMed ID: 211172.
    Abstract:
    Cyclic AMP metabolism in epididymal adipose tissue of exercise-trained rats was examined to determine if training induced changes in cyclic AMP production or inactivation. Beginning at 7 weeks of age, male rats were physically trained by 12 weeks of treadmill running. Pair-fed control rats remained sedentary in their cages for the duration of the experiment. Tissue levels of cyclic AMP were measured in epididymal adipose tissue slices incubated with norepinephrine. Adenyl cyclase was assayed in adipocyte ghost cell prepartions and low-Km phosphodiesterase was assayed in homogenates of adipose tissue. In response to norepinephrine stimulation, tissue cyclic AMP levels were reduced in trained compared to untrained rats. Training increased the ratio of activity of phosphodiesterase relative to adenyl cyclase. The results of this study indicate that cyclic AMP production in response to norepinephrine stimulation is not increased by training and may even be reduced, implying that adipose tissue cyclic AMP levels may be under a greater degree of control in trained rats. Modulation of adipose tissue cyclic AMP levels may function to regulate more closely the duration of lipolysis in exercise-trained rats.
