Endotoxin administration in mice induces the production of a humoral factor by exudate cells that markedly suppresses adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity.
A variety of invasive stimuli have been shown to induce hyperlipidemia due to impaired removal of triglyceride from the circulation. The mechanism by which endotoxin induces a deficiency in the activity of the key enzyme of triglyceride metabolism, lipoprotein lipase (LPL), has been studied. In C3H/HeN (endotoxin-sensitive) mice, LPL activity in adipose tissue was markedly suppressed 16 h after endotoxin administration. In contrast, the endotoxin-resistant C3H/HeJ mice were less sensitive to the suppressive effect of endotoxin on LPL activity. After endotoxin administration, a transferable factor had been detected in the blood of C3H/HeN mice 2 h after the injection of endotoxin that causes a suppression of adipose tissue LPL activity in C3H/HeJ mice as well as in C3H/HeN mice. Conditioned medium from the cultures of peritoneal exudate cells of C3H/HeN mice incubated in endotoxin also suppresses adipose tissue LPL in C3H/HeJ mice. These studies demonstrate that exudate cells produce a humoral factor in response to endotoxin, which suppresses adipose tissue LPL.
Kawakami et al. (Tue,) conducted a other in Endotoxin-induced hyperlipidemia. Endotoxin administration vs. C3H/HeJ (endotoxin-resistant) mice was evaluated on Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in adipose tissue. Endotoxin administration in mice induces the production of a humoral factor by exudate cells that markedly suppresses adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity.
