Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We previously found that epinephrine, a mixed beta- and alpha-adrenoreceptor agonist, stimulates systemic and nonsplanchnic upper body free fatty acid (FFA) release but not lower body FFA release in healthy nonobese women. To evaluate the role of beta-adrenergic-mediated effects on this regional difference in lipolysis, we measured systemic, leg, and splanchnic FFA kinetics ([3H]palmitate) in seven healthy nonobese women before and during an intravenous isoproterenol infusion. Isoproterenol increased systemic palmitate flux (87 +/- 12 vs. 100 +/- 10 mumol/min, P < 0.05) but failed to affect leg [10.8 +/- 1.2 vs. 11.4 +/- 2.3 mumol/min, P = not significant (NS)] or splanchnic (10.8 +/- 3.2 vs. 10.0 +/- 1.8 mumol/min, P = NS) palmitate release. Upper body nonsplanchnic palmitate release increased from 56 +/- 14 to 71 +/- 10 mumol/min. Systemic O2 consumption increased (227 +/- 11 to 241 +/- 10 ml/min, P = 0.006) during isoproterenol infusion, as did leg (318 +/- 42 vs. 404 +/- 53 ml/min, P < 0.01) and splanchnic (827 +/- 104 vs. 970 +/- 108 ml/min, P < 0.05) plasma flow. These results suggest that lower body adipose tissue lipolysis in women is less sensitive or responsive than nonsplanchnic upper body adipose tissue to beta-adrenergic stimulation and that regional differences in alpha 2-adrenergic-receptor responses were not responsible for the similar regional differences we observed previously with epinephrine.
