PG - 2342-9 LID - 10.1002/oby.20341 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that high lipolytic responsiveness is related to increased expression of ATM genes in human adipose tissues. DESIGN AND METHODS: Omental (OM) and subcutaneous (SC) fat samples were obtained surgically in 46 women (age: 47.2 +/- 4.7 years, BMI: 26.9 +/- 5.2 kg/m(2) ). Body composition and fat distribution were measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and computed tomography. Lipolysis was measured by glycerol release in mature adipocytes isolated by collagenase digestion under basal-, isoproterenol (10(-5) M)-, and forskolin (10(-5) M)-stimulated conditions. Quantification of macrophage gene mRNA expression (CD11b, CD11c, and CD68) in whole adipose tissue was performed using real-time RT-PCR. RESULTS: SC CD68 mRNA abundance was positively associated with isoproterenol-stimulated lipolysis (r = 0.36, P < 0.05). This association remained significant after adjustment for total body fat mass (r = 0.34, P
