Relationship between lipoprotein lipase activity and plasma sex steroid level in obese women.

Abstract: In obese women (a = 16) at their usual weight, fasting adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity, obtained by elution with serum and heparin at 40 and 370C, was inversely correlated to plasma estradiol levels (r = -0.724; P = 0.002) and (r = -0.641; P = 0.010), respectively. Furthermore, fasting postheparin plasma LPL activity during a heparin infusion, showed an even stronger inverse correlation to plasma estradiol when measured at 60 min (r = -0.815; P < 0.001). None of the above parameters was correl… Show more

“…The mRNA levels of both genes were decreased in the OHE group. The observed change in LPL level according to E2 status was consistent with other reports (3,4). Interestingly, however, the mRNA levels of those genes in PPARα -/-mice were not increased in the OH group.…”

“…Estrogen treatment reverses this condition, suggesting the involvement of estrogen in lipid metabolism in adipose tissue. Treatment of ovariectomized animals with estrogen decreased lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in adipose tissue (3,4). LPL is postulated to reduce the release of free fatty acids, decrease TG assimilation, and diminish the size of adipocytes and body fat content.…”

“…LPL activity is regulated by several hormones including catecholamines, insulin, and steroids, as well as by certain cytokines (8,14,15), and serves as an appropriate marker of the overall lipogenic capacity of adipose tissue.…”

“…Since there are many known differences in VLDL metabolism between the sexes 56,57 that may be influenced by plasma sex steroid levels [58][59][60] or adipose tissue distribution, 61 it is possible that there are also mechanistic differences in TG statin response between women and men. Further studies are needed to fully explore this possibility.…”
