The effect of essential fatty acid deficiency on the adrenergic activation of glycogenolysis in rat hepatocytes.

Abstract：

:The fatty acid composition of total lipids and the adrenoceptor-mediated activation of glycogenolysis were studied in isolated hepatocytes from rats maintained on a control diet or on an essential fatty acid (EFA)-free diet. In cells from rats on the EFA-free diet there was a marked reduction in linoleic and arachidonic acid (AA) contents and an increase in eicosatrienoic, oleic, and palmitoleic acid contents compared to controls. In freshly isolated cells from both groups, phosphorylase a activity was increased by phenylephrine or epinephrine but not by isoproterenol, and the effect of epinephrine was inhibited by phenoxybenzamine but not by propranolol. When control cells were preincubated in a serum-free buffer for 4 h before testing, the effect of phenylephrine on phosphorylase a activity was reduced, isoproterenol became a potent agonist and the effect of epinephrine was partially inhibited either by phenoxybenzamine or by propranolol. The emerging beta-adrenergic response in 4-h cells was associated with a marked potentiation of isoproterenol-induced cAMP accumulation. A similar 4-h preincubation of EFA-deficient cells resulted in a reduced response to phenylephrine while isoproterenol remained ineffective for increasing either phosphorylase a activity or cAMP production. The response of these 4-h cells to isoproterenol could be restored by in vivo replacement of the EFA-deficient diet with control diet for the last 4 weeks prior to the experiment, but not by the in vitro exposure of the EFA-deficient cells to 10 microM AA throughout the 4-h incubation period. Extending previous observations (Refs. (6-8)), the present results suggest that the time-dependent emergence of beta-adrenergic glycogenolysis, but not the parallel reduction of the alpha-adrenergic response, is mediated by AA or its metabolite(s), which probably act by facilitating the G-protein-dependent coupling of beta-receptors.
