Reduced triglyceride (TG) turnover is observed in TLR4−/− TB-mice. (A) Primary adipocytes from scAT were incubated in the presence (stimulated) or absence (basal) of isoproterenol (10−5M) for 1 hour. Graph shows lipolysis response assessed by the ratio of glycerol released (nmol/104 cells) relative to the basal condition. N = 4 per group. (B) Serum concentrations of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and (C) % of palmitic acid in scAT were performed for each different group. N = 4 per group. (D) Immunoblot analysis for components of lipolysis. scAT lysates were immunoblotted for phospho-HSL (Ser660) and total HSL (E) Densitometric evaluation of phospho-HSL (Ser660) and total HSL. Ponceau staining was analyzed as a loading control. N = 4 per group. (F) qRT-PCR was performed to quantitate Pck1, Acsl1, Acads, Citrate Synthase, Me3 and Cpt1b mRNA levels in scAT from the different groups. N = 5 per group. Graph show the mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was determined by two-way ANOVA. *P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
