Abstract

A possible mechanism(s) behind exercise training-enhanced lipolysis was investigated in rat adipocytes. Exercise training (9 weeks; running) enhanced the activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and the protein expressions of PKA subunits (catalytic, RIIα, and RIIβ) in P 40 fraction (sedimenting at 40,000 g), but not in I 40 fraction (infranatant of 40,000 g) of adipocyte homogenate. The expression of PKA-anchoring protein 150 (AKAP150) in P 40 fraction was greater in exercise-trained (TR) than in control (C) rats. Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) activities in both fractions were also greater in TR. On the other hand, stimulated lipolysis was accompanied by increased activities of HSL in P 40 but not in I 40 fraction. The decreases in stimulated lipolysis due to St-Ht31 were greater in TR rats. Thus, the mechanisms behind exercise training-enhanced adipocyte lipolysis could involve the increased activities of PKA and HSL with enhanced expressions of AKAP150 and some subunits of PKA, all of which may be compartmentalized within adipocytes.
