Resumo: | Expression of glycerokinase in brown adipose tissue is stimulated by the sympathetic nervous system. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 284: R1536–R1541, 2003; 10.1152/ajpregu.00764.2002.—The effect of cold exposure (4°C) or prolonged norepinephrine infusion on the activity and mRNA levels of glycerokinase (GyK) was investigated in rat interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT). Cold exposure for 12 and 24 h induced increases of 30% and 100%, respectively, in the activity of BAT GyK, which was paralleled by twofold and fourfold increase in enzyme mRNA levels. BAT hemidenervation resulted in reductions of 50% and 30% in GyK activity and in mRNA levels, respectively, in denervated pads from rats kept at 25°C, and suppressed in these pads the cold-induced increases in both GyK activity and mRNA levels. The increase in GyK activity induced by cold exposure was not affected by phenoxybenzamine, but was markedly inhibited by previous administration of propranolol or actinomycin D. BAT GyK activity did not change significantly after 6 h of continuous subcutaneous infusion of norepinephrine (20 g/h), but increased twofold and fourfold after 12 and 24 h, with no further increase after 72 h of infusion. Norepinephrine infusion also activated mRNA production, but the effect was comparatively smaller than that on enzyme activity. -Adrenergic agonists also stimulated GyK activity with the following relative magnitude of response: CL316243 ( 3) isoproterenol (non-selective) dobutamine ( 1). In vitro rates of incorporation of glycerol into glyceride-glycerol were increased in BAT from rats exposed to cold. The data suggest that in conditions of a sustained increase in BAT sympathetic flow there is a stimulation of GyK gene expression at the pretranslational level, with increased enzyme activity, mediated by -adrenoreceptors, mainly 3. |
