Lipolytic and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities were studied in isolated
human adipocytes obtained from two intraabdominal depots (round ligament
and omental) and from the subcutaneous abdominal region of nine severely
obese premenopausal women (with body mass indices ranging from 37 to 51
kg/m2), aged 36 +/- 3 yr, undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. Both fat
cell weight and LPL activity were significantly greater in round ligament
adipose cells than in subcutaneous abdominal or in omental adipocytes (P
< 0.05). The antilipolytic effect of insulin and the sensitivity to this
hormone were also higher in round ligament adipose cells than in omental
adipocytes (P < 0.05). Although epinephrine initiated a similar biphasic
profile of response in all cell types, the catecholamine promoted a weaker
inhibition of lipolysis in omental adipocytes than in subcutaneous
abdominal adipose cells (P < 0.05). In addition, a lack of regional
variation was found in the maximal antilipolysis initiated by UK 14304 and
the alpha 2-adrenoceptors was higher in both subcutaneous abdominal and
round ligament fat cells than in omental adipocytes. Moreover, the maximal
lipolytic response to isoproterenol or to agents acting at post-receptor
levels was not different among fat depots. Finally, a lower beta-adrenergic
lipolytic sensitivity associated with a reduced beta-adrenoceptor density
was observed in round ligament as compared to omental adipose cells. These
data suggest that in massively obese premenopausal women, omental and round
ligament adipose tissues show distinct metabolic properties that may
contribute to limit the impact of intraabdominal obesity.
