Control of endogenous triglyceride breakdown in the mouse diaphragm

NA Abumrad, HM Tepperman and J Tepperman

The control of endogenous triglyceride breakdown was studied in vitro, in the incubated intact mouse diaphragm. Isoproterenol (2 microgram/ml) produced parallel increases in glycerol and free fatty acid release, and in tissue cyclic AMP levels, suggesting that cyclic AMP mediates the action of the catecholamine on triglyceride mobilization. In addition to cyclic AMP, calcium seems to be involved in the action of isoproterenol because preincubation of hemidiaphragms in the presence of the calcium ionophore A23187 decreased the lipolytic effect of the drug. Insulin (12.5 mU/ml) antagonized the action of isoproterenol on triglyceride breakdown (it decreased glycerol and free fatty acid release) without altering its stimulatory effect on cyclic AMP levels. On the other hand, no detectable effect on lipolysis was observed with carbachol in control and denervated hemidiaphragms, although the latter possess acetylcholine receptors over the entire surface area of the muscle. It was concluded that catecholamines control triglyceride breakdown in muscle while the cholinergic system does not seem to be involved. Cyclic AMP, calcium, and insulin all affect lipolysis in muscle and the interrelationships remain to be elucidated.
