Change in composition of high density lipoprotein during gemfibrozil therapy.

We investigated the high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) response in 20 middle-aged males during a 12-week course of gemfibrozil. Three aspects of the increase in HDL-C (25%) were studied and our observations are as follows: (1) subfraction analysis showed that HDL3-C rose earlier and to a larger extent (28%) than HDL2-C (15%), (2) analysis of variance group--time interaction effect and correlation studies of HDL-C and total triglycerides suggest the increase in HDL-C was due to a direct effect of gemfibrozil on HDL metabolism, and (3) HDL-C was the only one of 4 HDL components to increase. Apoprotein A-I (apo A-I) and HDL-phospholipid (HDL-PL) did not change, and HDL-triglyceride (HDL-TG) decreased. This pattern is consistent with a change in composition of HDL, i.e. cholesterol enrichment and triglyceride depletion.

TSH receptor in adipose cells.

Although there have been reports supporting the presence of the TSH receptor (TSHR) in human adipose tissue, these findings are still not universally accepted. Contributing to the controversy is a paucity of data about the physiological role the TSH receptor might play in adipose cells. In addition to mature lipid-filled adipocytes, adipose tissue also harbors a pool of specialized, fibroblast-like preadipocytes within the stromal-vascular compartment. Upon appropriate induction, preadipocytes can either differentiate into adipocytes or undergo apoptosis. Since TSHR has been detected in preadipocytes and adipocytes, its potential impact on adipose tissue function may relate to differentiation stage-specific cellular properties.
