Glycerol Handling in Paired Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissues in Women with Normal Weight and Upper-Body Obesity.

ABSTRACT: In adipose tissue, reduced expression of the glycerol channel aquaporin 7 (AQP7) has been associated with increased accumulation of triglyceride. The present study determines the relative protein abundances of lipolytic enzymes, AQP7, and cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK-C) in paired mesenteric and omental visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and abdominal and femoral subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in women with either normal weight or upper-body obesity. No differences in the expression of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) or AQP7 were found between the two groups in the four depots. The expression of adipocyte triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and HSL were higher in omental VAT and femoral SAT than in mesenteric VAT in both groups of women. Similarly, AQP7 expression was higher in om
