Lipoprotein Lipase Overexpression in Skeletal Muscle Attenuates Weight Regain by Potentiating Energy Expenditure
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We investigated the effect of weight loss maintenance (WLM) and weight regain on skeletal muscle in rodents. In skeletal muscle of obesity prone rats, WLM reduced fat oxidative capacity and down-regulated genes involved in fat metabolism. After weight was regained in rats, the genes involved in fat metabolism were still reduced. Mice with skeletal muscle lipoprotein lipase overexpression (mCK-hLPL), which augments fat metabolism, were subjected to our WLM and weight regain paradigm. We found that mCK-hLPL attenuated weight regain by potentiating energy expenditure.Irrespective of genotype, weight regain suppressed dietary fat oxidation and down-regulated genes involved in fat metabolism in skeletal muscle. However, mCK-hLPL mice oxidized more fat throughout weight regain and had greater expression of genes involved in fat metabolism and lower expression of genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism during WLM and regain.
