Abstract
This Special Issue of the Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry contains 7 contributions that have been elaborated in the context of the mini-network "Consortium of Trans-Pyrenean Investigations on Obesity and Diabetes" (CTPIOD), which is on its 18th year of existence. This scientific community, mostly involving research groups from France and Spain, but also open to participants coming from all over the world, is focusing its attention on the prevention and the novel treatments of obesity, diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and other noncommunicable diseases. Accordingly, this special issue covers some nutritional, pharmacologic, and genetic aspects of the current knowledge of metabolic diseases. Some of these papers emerge from the lectures of the 18th Conference on Trans-Pyrenean Investigations in Obesity and Diabetes, organized by the University of Clermont-Ferrand and celebrated online in November 30, 2021.

Abstract
PURPOSE Resveratrol inhibits lipid accumulation but suffers from limited bioavailability. The anti-depressive agent phenelzine limits adipogenesis in various models of cultured preadipocytes, and this hydrazine derivative also inhibits de novo lipogenesis in mature adipocytes. It was therefore tested whether resveratrol effects on adiposity reduction and glucose tolerance improvement could be reinforced by co-administration with phenelzine. METHODS Mice fed a very-high-fat diet (VHFD, 60% calories as fat) were subjected to drinking solution containing low dose of resveratrol (0.003%) and/or 0.02% phenelzine for 12 weeks. Body fat content, glucose tolerance, food and water consumption were checked during treatment while fat depot mass was determined at the end of supplementation. Direct influence of the agents on lipogenesis and glucose uptake was tested in adipocytes. RESULTS Epididymal fat depots were reduced in mice drinking phenelzine alone or with resveratrol. No limitation of body weight gain or body fat content was observed in the groups drinking resveratrol or phenelzine, separately or in combination. The altered glucose tolerance and the increased fat body composition of VHFD-fed mice were not reversed by resveratrol and/or phenelzine. Such lack of potentiation between resveratrol and phenelzine prompted us to verify in vitro their direct effects on mouse adipocytes. Both molecules inhibited de novo lipogenesis, but did not potentiate each other at 10 or 100 μM. Only resveratrol inhibited hexose uptake in a manner that was not improved by phenelzine. CONCLUSIONS Phenelzine has no interest to be combined with low doses of resveratrol for treating/preventing obesity, when considering the VHFD mouse model.

Abstract
Uric acid is involved in nitrogenous waste in animals, together with ammonia and urea. Uric acid has also antioxidant properties and is a surrogate marker of metabolic syndrome. We observed that the elevated plasma uric acid of high-fat fed mice was normalized by benzylamine treatment. Indeed, benzylamine is the reference substrate of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO), an enzyme highly expressed in fat depots and vessels, which generates ammonia when catalysing oxidative deamination. Ammonia interferes with uric acid metabolism/solubility. Our aim was therefore to investigate whether the lowering action of benzylamine on uric acid was related to an improvement of diabetic complications, or was connected with SSAO-dependent ammonia production. First, we observed that benzylamine administration lowered plasma uric acid in diabetic db/db mice while it did not modify uric acid levels in normoglycemic and lean mice. In parallel, benzylamine improved the glycemic control in diabetic but not in normoglycemic mice, while plasma urea remained unaltered. Then, uric acid plasma levels were measured in mice invalidated for AOC3 gene, encoding for SSAO. These mice were unable to oxidize benzylamine but were not diabetic and exhibited unaltered plasma uric levels. Therefore, activated or abolished ammonia production by SSAO was without influence on uric acid in the context of normoglycemia. Our observations confirm that plasma uric acid increases with diabetes and can be normalized when glucose tolerance is improved. They also show that uric acid, a multifunctional metabolite at the crossroads of nitrogen waste and of antioxidant defences, can be influenced by SSAO, in a manner apparently related to changes in glucose homeostasis.

Abstract
Apelin is a peptide present in different cell types and secreted by adipocytes in humans and rodents. Apelin exerts its effects through a G-protein-coupled receptor called APJ. During the past years, a role of apelin/APJ in energy metabolism has emerged. Apelin was shown to stimulate glucose uptake in skeletal muscle through an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-dependent pathway in mice. So far, no metabolic effects of apelin have been reported on human adipose tissue (AT). Thus, the effect of apelin on AMPK in AT was measured as well as AMPK-mediated effects such as inhibition of lipolysis and stimulation of glucose uptake. AMPK and acetyl-CoA carboxylase phosphorylation were measured by western blot to reflect the AMPK activity. Lipolysis and glucose uptake were measured, ex vivo, in response to apelin on isolated adipocytes and explants from AT of the subcutaneous region of healthy subjects (body mass index: 25.6 ± 0.8 kg/m(2), n = 30 in total). APJ mRNA and protein are present in human AT and isolated adipocytes. Apelin stimulated AMPK phosphorylation at Thr-172 in a dose-dependent manner in human AT, which was associated with increased glucose uptake since C compound (20 μM), an AMPK inhibitor, completely prevented apelin-induced glucose uptake. However, in isolated adipocytes or AT explants, apelin had no significant effect on basal and isoprenaline-stimulated lipolysis. Thus, these results reveal, for the first time, that apelin is able to act on human AT in order to stimulate AMPK and glucose uptake.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Histaminergic status can modify adipose tissue (AT) development: histamine-free mice exhibit visceral obesity, and treatments with H3-antagonists reduce body weight gain. However, direct histamine effects on AT remain poorly documented: it has been observed that histamine stimulates lipolysis in rodent adipocytes when its oxidation by amine oxidases (AOs) is blocked by inhibitors such as semicarbazide. OBJECTIVE The aim of this work was to study the influence of AOC3 gene invalidation, encoding for semicarbazide-sensitive AO (SSAO), on histamine oxidation and on histamine lipolytic activity in AT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Expression of AOC- and MAO-encoding genes was determined by real-type PCR in wild-type (WT) and SSAO-deficient (AOC3-KO) mice. Lipolysis was assessed by glycerol release in isolated adipocytes and AO activity by substrate-induced hydrogen peroxide formation in kidney, ileum and AT. RESULTS The expression levels of the genes encoding AOC1, AOC2 or MAOA and MAOB were not modified in the AT of AOC3-KO mice. In WT mice, histamine oxidation was lower than that of the reference SSAO-substrate benzylamine in AT, but not in ileum. The order of magnitude regarding benzylamine oxidation was AT > ileum >> kidney. In AOC3-KO mice, benzylamine oxidation was abolished in all tissues, while histamine oxidation was abolished in AT but not in ileum. Histamine was inactive on lipolysis in WT but stimulated lipolysis in fat cells from AOC3-KO mice, without reaching the maximal intensity of beta-adrenergic stimulation. CONCLUSION Histamine was mainly oxidized by diamine oxidase (AOC1 product) in intestine, but by SSAO (AOC3 product) in AT. When protected from its oxidation by SSAO in AT, histamine moderately activated lipolysis in adipocytes in AOC3-KO mice.

Abstract
Besides adipocytes, specialized in lipid handling and involved in energy balance regulation, white adipose tissue (WAT) is mainly composed of other cell types among which lymphocytes represent a non-negligible proportion. Different types of lymphocytes (B, alphabetaT, gammadeltaT, NK and NKT) have been detected in WAT of rodents or humans, and vary in their relative proportion according to the fat pad anatomical location. The lymphocytes found in intra-abdominal, visceral fat pads seem representative of innate immunity, while those present in subcutaneous fat depots are part of adaptive immunity, at least in mice. Both the number and the activity of the different lymphocyte classes, except B lymphocytes, are modified in obesity. Several of these modifications in the relative proportions of the lymphocyte classes depend on the degree of obesity, or on leptin concentration, or even fat depot anatomical location. Recent studies suggest that alterations of lymphocyte number and composition precede the macrophage increase and the enhanced inflammatory state of WAT found in obesity. Lymphocytes express receptors to adipokines while several proinflammatory chemokines are produced in WAT, rendering intricate crosstalk between fat and immune cells. However, the evidences and controversies available so far are in favour of an involvement of lymphocytes in the control of the number of other cells in WAT, either adipocytes or immune cells and of their secretory and metabolic activities. Therefore, immunotherapy deserves to be considered as a promising approach to treat the endocrino-metabolic disorders associated to excessive fat mass development.

Abstract
Visfatin, a protein identified as a secretion product of visceral fat in humans and mice, is also expressed in different anatomical locations, and is known as pre-B cell-colony enhancing factor (PEBF1). It is also an enzyme displaying nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase activity (Nampt). The evidence that levels of visfatin correlate with visceral fat mass has been largely debated and widely extended to other regulations in numerous clinical studies and in diverse animal models. On the opposite, the initial findings regarding the capacity of visfatin/Nampt/PEBF1 to bind and to activate the insulin receptor have been scarcely reproduced, and even were contradicted in recent reports. Since the putative insulin mimicking effects of visfatin/Nampt/PEBF1 have never been tested on mature human adipocytes, at least to our knowledge, we tested different human visfatin batches on human fat cells freshly isolated from subcutaneous abdominal fat and exhibiting high insulin responsiveness. Up to 10 nM, visfatin was devoid of clear activatory action on glucose transport in human fat cells while, in the same conditions, insulin increased by more than threefold the basal 2-deoxyglucose uptake. Moreover, visfatin was unable to mimic the lipolysis inhibition induced by insulin. Visfatin definitively cannot be considered as a direct activator of insulin signalling in human fat cells. Nevertheless itsin vivo effects on insulin release and on glucose handling deserve to further study the role of this multifunctional extracellular enzyme in obese and diabetic states.

Abstract
Inhibition of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidases (SSAO) and monoamine oxidases (MAO) reduces fat deposition in obese rodents: chronic administration of the SSAO-inhibitor semicarbazide (S) in combination with pargyline (MAO-inhibitor) has been shown to reduce body weight gain in obese Zucker rats, while (E)-2-(4-fluorophenethyl)-3-fluoroallylamine, an SSAO- and MAO-B inhibitor, has been reported to limit weight gain in obese and diabetic mice. Our aim was to state whether such weight gain limitation could occur in non-obese, non-diabetic rats and to extend these observations to other amine oxidase inhibitors. Prolonged treatment of non-obese rats with a high dose of S (900 micromol kg(-1) day(-1)) reduced body weight gain and limited white adipose tissue enlargement. When chronically administered at a threefold lower dose, S also inhibited SSAO activity but not fat depot enlargement, suggesting that effects other than SSAO inhibition were involved in adipose tissue growth retardation. However, combined treatment of this lower dose of S with pargyline inhibited SSAO, MAO, energy intake, weight gain and fat deposition. Adipocytes from treated rats exhibited unchanged insulin responsiveness but impaired antilipolytic responses to amine oxidase substrates. Phenelzine clearly inhibited both MAO and SSAO when tested on adipocytes. Obese rats receiving phenelzine i.p. at 17 micromol kg(-1) day(-1) for 3 weeks, exhibited blunted MAO and SSAO activities in any tested tissue, diminished body weight gain and reduced intra-abdominal adipose tissue. Their adipocytes were less responsive to lipogenesis activation by tyramine or benzylamine. These observations suggest that SSAO inhibition is not sufficient to impair fat deposition. However, combined MAO and SSAO inhibition limits adiposity in non-obese as well as in obese rats.

Abstract
Apelin is a bioactive peptide known as the ligand of the G protein-coupled receptor APJ. Diverse active apelin peptides exist under the form of 13, 17 or 36 amino acids, originated from a common 77-amino-acid precursor. Both apelin and APJ mRNA are widely expressed in several rodent and human tissues and have functional effects in both the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. Apelin has been shown to be involved in the regulation of cardiovascular functions, fluid homeostasis, vessel formation and cell proliferation. More recently, apelin has been described as an adipocyte-secreted factor (adipokine), up-regulated in obesity. By acting as circulating hormone or paracrine factor, adipokines are involved in physiological regulations (fat depot development, energy storage, metabolism or eating behavior) or in the promotion of obesity-associated disorders (type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular dysfunctions). In this regard, expression of apelin gene in adipose tissue is increased by insulin and TNFalpha. This review will consider the main roles of apelin in physiopathology with particular attention on its role in energy balance regulation and in obesity-associated disorders.

Abstract
Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) and monoamine oxidases (MAO) are highly expressed in adipocytes and generate hydrogen peroxide when activated. Consequently, high concentrations of MAO- or SSAO-substrates acutely stimulate glucose transport and inhibit lipolysis in isolated adipocytes in a hydrogen peroxide-dependent manner. Chronic treatments with MAO and SSAO substrates also increase in vitro adipogenesis and in vivo glucose utilization and fat deposition in diabetic rodents. To further investigate the interplay between amine oxidases, energy balance and fat deposition, prolonged MAO and/or SSAO blockade was performed in obese rats. Pargyline (P, MAO inhibitor), semicarbazide (S, SSAO inhibitor), alone or in combination (P+S), were daily i.p. administered for 3-5 weeks to obese Zucker rats at doses ranging from 20 to 300 micromol/kg. P+S treatments abolished MAO and SSAO activities in any tested tissue. P and S led to a 12-17% reduction of food intake when given in combination but were inactive when given separately. Despite a similar body weight gain reduction in P+S-treated and pair-fed rats, the mitigation of fat deposition was greater in rats receiving both inhibitors. Adipocytes from P+S-treated rats responded as control to insulin but exhibited impaired responses to tyramine, benzylamine or methylamine plus vanadate when considering glucose transport activation or lipolysis inhibition. Although our results did not directly demonstrate that amines are able to spontaneously produce in vivo the insulin-like effects described in vitro, we propose that P+S-induced reduction of fat deposition results from decreased food intake and from impaired MAO- and SSAO-dependent lipogenic and antilipolytic actions of endogenous or alimentary amines.

Abstract
Although antipsychotics are established drugs in schizophrenia treatment, they are admittedly known to induce side effects favoring the onset of obesity and worsening its complications. Despite potential involvement of histamine receptor antagonism, or of other neurotransmitter systems, the mechanism by which antipsychotic drugs increase body weight is not elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether chronic antipsychotic treatments can directly alter the regulation of two main functions of white adipose tissue: lipolysis and glucose utilization. The influence of a classical antipsychotic (haloperidol) was compared to that of two atypical antipsychotics, one known to favor weight gain (olanzapine), the other not (ziprasidone). Cell size, lipolytic capacity and glucose transport activity were determined in white adipocytes of rats subjected to 5-week oral treatment with these antipsychotics. Gene expression of adipocyte proteins involved in glucose transport or fat storage and mobilization, such as glucose transporters (GLUT1 and GLUT4), leptin, matrix metallo-proteinase-9 (MMP9), hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) was also evaluated. Adipocytes from chronic olanzapine-treated rats exhibited decreased lipolytic activity, lowered HSL expression and increased FAS expression. These changes were concomitant to enlarged fat deposition and adipocyte size. Alterations were observed in adipocytes from olanzapine-treated rats whereas the other antipsychotics did not induce any notable disorder. Our results therefore show evidence of an effect of chronic antipsychotic treatment on rat adipocyte metabolism. Thus, impairment of fat cell lipolysis should be considered as a side effect of certain antipsychotics, leading, along with the already documented hyperphagia, to the excessive weight gain observed in patients under prolonged treatment..

Abstract
Beneficial effects of aminoguanidine (AG) on diabetic vascular complications result from prevention of protein glycation, inhibition of inductible NO synthase, and inhibition of vascular semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO). However, influence of AG on adipose tissue deposition has been poorly investigated in obesity. Considering that SSAO is highly expressed in fat cells, and that a SSAO blocker has been recently reported to reduce body weight gain in obese mice, this work aimed to investigate the influence of AG on adipose tissue functions. First, AG was shown to directly inhibit SSAO activity in cultured adipocytes. Although AG did not directly alter lipolytic activity in human adipocytes, it inhibited benzylamine-induced antilipolysis via SSAO (but not NO synthase) inhibition. When AG was i.p. administered to obese Zucker rats (270 micromol kg(-1)day(-1) for 3 weeks), treated rats lost their capacity to oxidize benzylamine in a SSAO-dependent manner in adipose tissues and in cerebral vessels. Monoamine oxidase activity was unmodified in liver, skeletal muscles or adipose tissues and tended to increase in brain vessels. AG-treatment did not change body weight gain or hyperinsulinemic state of obese rats but slightly reduced subcutaneous fat deposition. AG did not modify insulin responsiveness in adipocytes but impaired the effects of SSAO substrates, such as glucose transport activation and lipolysis inhibition by methylamine or benzylamine plus vanadate. These results show that complete impairment of SSAO activity produced by AG-treatment in obese rats was likely responsible for a weak limitation of fat deposition. Previously proposed for prophylaxis in diabetes, AG may be useful for treating obesity via its SSAO blocking properties.

Abstract
Substrates of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidases (SSAO) stimulate glucose transport in adipocytes. To definitively demonstrate the involvement of SSAO in this insulin-like effect, glucose transport has been studied in fat cells from mice with a targeted deletion of AOC3, a gene encoding a SSAO called vascular adhesion protein-1. SSAO activity was present in white adipose tissues of wild type (WT) but was absent in AOC3KO mice. The SSAO-substrates benzylamine and methylamine were unable to stimulate hexose transport in adipocytes isolated from AOC3KO mice while they were active in WT adipocytes, especially in combination with vanadate. Impairment of amine-dependent glucose uptake was also observed with tyramine while there was no change in insulin responsiveness. These observations prove that the effects of exogenous or biogenic amines on glucose transport are not receptor-mediated but are oxidation-dependent. They also confirm that the major SSAO form expressed in mouse adipocytes is encoded by the AOC3 gene.

Abstract
Adipocytes express two types of amine oxidases: the cell surface semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) and the mitochondrial monoamine oxidase (MAO). In human abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue, it has been reported that SSAO substrates stimulate glucose transport and inhibit lipolysis while MAO activity is decreased in obese patients when compared to age-matched controls. However, no information has been reported on visceral WAT. To further investigate the obesity-induced regulations of MAO and SSAO in white adipose tissue (WAT) from different anatomical locations, enzyme activities and mRNA abundance have been determined on tissue biopsies from control and high-fat fed dogs, an obesity model already described to be associated with arterial hypertension and hyperinsulinemia. MAO activity was increased in the enlarged omental WAT of diet-induced obese dogs, but not in their mesenteric WAT, another intra-abdominal fat depot. Subcutaneous WAT did not exhibit any change in MAO activity, as did the richest MAO-containing tissue: liver. Similarly, SSAO was increased in omental WAT of diet-induced obese dogs, but was not modified in other WAT and in aorta. The increase in SSAO activity observed in omental WAT likely results from an increased expression of the AOC3 gene since mRNA abundance and maximal benzylamine oxidation velocity were increased. Finally, plasma SSAO was decreased in obese dogs. Although the observed regulations differ from those found in subcutaneous WAT of obese patients, this canine model shows a tissue- and site-specific regulation of peripheral MAO and SSAO in obesity.

Abstract
Beta3-adrenergic agonists have been considered as potent antiobesity and antidiabetic agents mainly on the basis of their beneficial actions discovered twenty years ago in obese and diabetic rodents. The aim of this work was to verify whether prolonged treatment with a beta3-adrenergic agonist known to stimulate lipid mobilisation, could promote desensitization of beta-adrenergic responses. Wistar rats and guinea pigs were treated during one week with CL 316243 (CL, 1 mg/kg/d) by implanted osmotic minipumps. In control animals, beta3-adrenergic agonists were lipolytic in rat but not in guinea pig adipocytes. CL-treatment did not alter body weight gain in both species, but reduced fat stores in rats. Lipolysis stimulation by forskolin was unmodified but responses to beta1-, beta2- and beta3-agonists were reduced in visceral or subcutaneous white adipose tissues of CL-treated rats. Similarly, the beta3-adrenergic-dependent impairment of insulin action on glucose transport and lipogenesis in rat adipocytes was diminished after CL-treatment. In rat adipocytes, [125I]ICYP binding and beta3-adrenoceptor mRNA levels were reduced after sustained CL administration. These findings show that CL 316243 exerts (beta3-adrenergic lipolytic and antilipogenic effects in rat adipocytes. These actions, which are likely involved in the fat depletion observed in rat, also lead to the desensitization of all beta-adrenergic responses. Therefore this desensitization, together with the lack of slimming action in guinea pig, seriously attenuates the usefulness of beta3-agonists as antiobesity agents, and may explain why such agonists have not been conducted to a widespread clinical use.

Abstract
Beta3-adrenergic agonists are well-recognited to promote lipid mobilisation and adipose tissue remodeling in rodents, leading to multilocular fat cells enriched in mitochondria. However, effects of beta3-adrenergic agonists on glucose transport are still controversial. In this work, we studied in white adipose tissue (WAT) the influence of sustained beta3-adrenergic stimulation on the glucose transport and on the mitochondrial monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity. As one-week administration of CL 316243 (CL, 1 mg/kg/d) induces beta-adrenergic desensitization in rat but not in guinea pig adipocytes, attention was paid to compare these models. When expressing glucose uptake as nmoles of 2-deoxyglucose/100 mg cell lipids, maximally stimulated uptake was increased in adipocytes of WAT from treated rats but not from treated guinea pigs. However, basal hexose uptake was also increased in CL-treated rats and, as a consequence, the dose-dependent curves for insulin stimulation were similar in control and CL-treated rats when expressed as fold increase over basal. Insulin-induced lipogenesis was unchanged in rat or guinea pig adipocytes after CL-treatment. The glucose carriers GLUT4 and corresponding mRNA were increased in subcutaneous WAT or in brown adipose tissue (BAT) but not in visceral WAT or muscles of CL-treated rats. There was an increase of MAO activity in WAT and BAT, but not in liver, of CL-treated rats while no change was detected in guinea pigs. These findings show that only rat adipocytes, which are beta3-adrenergic-responsive, respond to chronic beta3-AR agonist by an increase of GLUT4 content and MAO activity, despite a desensitization of all beta-adrenoceptor subtypes.

Abstract
Decreased monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity has been observed in adipose tissue of obese patients. Since substrates of MAO and semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) can modify adipocyte metabolism, this work investigates whether changes in amine oxidase activity may occur during white adipose tissue (WAT) development. We evaluated MAO and SSAO activities in WAT of high-fat diet (HFD) and low-fat diet fed mice. To distinguish the effect of HFD on its own from the effect of fat mass enlargement, obesity-prone transgenic line of the FVBn strain lacking beta3-adrenergic receptors (AR) but expressing human beta3-AR and alpha2-AR (mbeta3-/-, hbeta3+/+, halpha2+/-) was compared to its obesity-resistant control (mbeta3-/-, hbeta3+/+). As already reported, the former mice became obese while the latter resisted to HFD. No significant change in SSAO or MAO activity was found in WAT of both strains after HFD when expressing oxidase activity per milligram of protein. However, when considering the overall capacity of the fat depots to oxidize tyramine or benzylamine, there was an increase in MAO and SSAO activity only in the enlarged WAT of HFD-induced obese mice. Therefore, the comparison of these models allowed to demonstrate that the higher amine oxidase capacity hold in enlarged fat stores of obese mice is more likely the consequence of increased fat cell number rather than the result of an increased expression of MAO or SSAO in the adipocyte.

Abstract
Amine oxidases are widely distributed from microorganisms to vertebrates and produce hydrogen peroxide plus aldehyde when catabolizing endogenous or xenobiotic amines. Novel roles have been attributed to several members of the amine oxidase families, which cannot be anymore considered as simple amine scavengers. Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) is abundantly expressed in mammalian endothelial, smooth muscle, and fat cells, and plays a role in lymphocyte adhesion to vascular wall, arterial fiber elastic maturation, and glucose transport, respectively. This latter role was studied in detail and the perspectives of insulin-like actions of amine oxidase substrates are discussed in the present review. Independent studies have demonstrated that SSAO substrates and monoamine oxidase substrates mimic diverse insulin effects in adipocytes: glucose transport activation, lipogenesis stimulation and lipolysis inhibition. These substrates also stimulate in vitro adipogenesis. Acute in vivo administration of amine oxidase substrates improves glucose tolerance in rats, mice and rabbits, while chronic treatments with benzylamine plus vanadate exert an antihyperglycaemic effect in diabetic rats. Dietary supplementations with methylamine, benzylamine or tyramine have been proven to influence metabolic control in rodents by increasing glucose tolerance or decreasing lipid mobilisation, without noticeable changes in the plasma markers of lipid peroxidation or protein glycation, despite adverse effects on vasculature. Thus, the ingested amines are not totally metabolized at the intestinal level and can act on adipose and vascular tissues. In regard with this influence on metabolic control, more attention must be paid to the composition or supplementation in amines in foods and nutraceutics.

Abstract
Adipose tissue produces and secretes multiple adipokines. Most studies on adipokine production/expression have been performed on whole adipose tissue. In addition, data concerning an overall of adipokine expression are scarce and can be heterogeneous depending on the obesity model studied. Our first aim was to compare the expression of adipokines involved in the interplay between obesity and insulin resistance in isolated adipocytes from different mouse models of obesity displaying different levels of weight gain and insulin sensitivity. The second aim was to determine perigonadal/subcutaneous ratio of each adipokine. Only resistin expression was decreased in obese mice without modifications in glucose and insulin blood levels. In addition to decreased levels of resistin, obesity models associated with hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia presented an increased expression of leptin and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha). Obese and diabetic mice were the only animals to exhibit high expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 and interleukin-6. All adipokines except TNFalpha were more heavily expressed in perigonadal than in subcutaneous adipocytes. Interestingly, fat-enriched diet and overweight on their own did not modify the distribution of adipokines between the two fat depots. However, severe obesity modified the distribution of proinflammatory adipokines. In conclusion, the level and number of adipokines with altered expression increased with obesity and hyperinsulinemia in mice. The physiopathological impact of depot-specific differences of adipokine expression in adipocytes remains to be clarified.

Abstract
Repeated administration of benzylamine plus vanadate have been reported to exhibit anti-hyperglycemic effects in different models of diabetic rats. Likewise oral treatment with Moringa oleifera extracts which contain the alkaloïd moringine, identical to benzylamine, has also been shown to prevent hyperglycemia in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. With these observations we tested whether prolonged oral administration of benzylamine could interact with glucose and/or lipid metabolism. Seven week old male Wistar rats were treated for seven weeks with benzylamine 2.9 g/l in drinking water and were submitted to glucose tolerance tests. A slight decrease in water consumption was observed in benzylamine-treated animals while there was no change in body and adipose tissue weights at the end of treatment. Blood glucose and plasma insulin, triacylglycerol or cholesterol levels were not modified. However, benzylamine treatment resulted in a decrease in plasma free fatty acids in both fed and fasted conditions. Benzylamine treatment improved glucose tolerance as shown by the reduction of hyperglycemic response to intra-peritoneal glucose load. Oral benzylamine treatment did not alter the response of adipocytes to insulin nor to insulin-like actions of benzylamine plus vanadate, via in vitro activation of glucose transport or inhibition of lipolysis. This work demonstrates for the first time that oral administration of benzylamine alone influences glucose and lipid metabolism. However, these results obtained in normoglycemic rats require to be confirmed in diabetic models.

Abstract
Numerous studies have characterized semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase activity (SSAO) in rat fat cells but this oxidase is scarcely documented in human adipose tissue. Our aim was to further characterize SSAO in human adipose tissue (activity, mRNA and protein abundance) and to investigate whether SSAO activity can interplay with glucose and lipid metabolism in human adipocytes via the hydrogen peroxide it generates. Polyclonal antibodies directed against bovine lung SSAO allowed the detection of a substantial amount of immunoreactive protein (apparent molecular mass 100 kDa) in human subcutaneous adipocytes from either mammary or abdominal fat depots. A 4-kb mRNA was detected in fat depots using a cDNA probe designed from the placenta SSAO sequence. Almost all the oxidation of benzylamine found in adipose tissue homogenates was due to fat cells and was located in the adipocyte membrane fraction. The oxidation of benzylamine and methylamine were similar and totally inhibited by semicarbazide or hydralazine but resistant to pargyline. Histamine was poorly oxidized. Benzylamine and methylamine dose-dependently stimulated glucose transport in intact adipocytes. This insulin-like effect of amines did not increase in the presence of 0.1 mM vanadate but was inhibited by semicarbazide and antioxidants. Benzylamine and methylamine also exhibited antilipolytic effects, with complete inhibition of lipolysis at 1 mM. These results show that fat cells from non-obese subjects express a membrane-bound SSAO which readily oxidizes exogenous amines, generates hydrogen peroxide and exerts short-term insulin-like actions on glucose and lipid metabolism.

Abstract
The biogenic amine tyramine has been reported to stimulate in vitro glucose transport in adipocytes, cardiomyocytes and skeletal muscle, and to improve in vivo glucose utilization in rats. These effects were dependent on amine oxidation, since they were blocked by inhibitors of monoamine oxidase (MAO) and semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO). We thus tested in this work whether a prolonged treatment with tyramine could improve glucose tolerance in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. First, tyramine content of standard rodent chow was determined by HPLC and daily tyramine intake of control rats was estimated to be around 26 micromol/kg body weight. Then, tyramine was administred during 3 weeks in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats at 29 micromol/kg by daily i.p. injection alone or together with vanadate 0.02 micromol/kg. In another group of diabetic rats, tyramine was subcutaneously delivered at 116 micromol/kg/day by osmotic minipumps. All tyramine treatments resulted in a decrease of the hyperglycemic responses to an i.p. glucose load. Adipocytes isolated from either untreated or treated diabetic rats were sensitive to the stimulation of glucose uptake by tyramine. However, diabetic animals receiving tyramine for three weeks did not recover from their hyperglycemia, hypoinsulinemia and glucosuria. These results show that the improvement of glucose tolerance induced by prolonged tyramine administration occurs in an insulin-depleted model and probably results from peripheral insulin-like actions of the oxidation of MAO/SSAO substrates, such as the stimulation of glucose uptake into adipocytes.

Abstract
Octopamine is proposed as a substitution product of synephrine by diverse drug industries that advertise new weight-lowering products or medicinal plants enriched in this biogenic amine. We have already reported that octopamine is able to activate in vitro lipolysis in rat adipocytes via beta3-adrenergic receptor activation, while it activates glucose uptake in human fat cells via its oxidation by amine oxidases. In this work, we tested whether a chronic challenge with octopamine could exert anti-obesity effects. A treatment consisting in daily i.p. administration of octopamine (81 micromol/kg) was compared on a four-week period with calorie restriction in the genetically obese Zucker rat. Octopamine treatment resulted in a 19% decrease in body weight gain, when compared to the 177 g gained by controls during the same period. The decrease in body weight gain was detectable only after three weeks of treatment and was apparently not due to a pronounced and sustainable anorectic effect of octopamine since: 1) cumulated food consumption was only reduced by 10%; 2) the experimental 18% reduction of food intake provoked a rapid decrease in body weight gain, significant in less than two weeks. The lipolytic responses to isoprenaline or octopamine and the stimulation of glucose transport by insulin or by the amine oxidase substrate tyramine were unmodified by the treatments. Noteworthy, the elevated plasma insulin of obese rats was lowered by octopamine. This study shows that octopamine can reduce body weight gain in obese rats, without apparent adverse effects, but with less efficacy than beta3-AR agonists.

Abstract
Biogenic amines like tyramine, methylamine and the non-naturally occuring amine, benzylamine, have been described to promote adipose conversion of murine 3T3 preadipocytes. To further investigate these novel effects of amines, we studied whether they selectively mimic the long-term adipogenic action of insulin. To this aim, we decided to use the 3T3-L1 cell line since this model needs a complex combination of inducers to trigger the differentiation programme: insulin, isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX, an activator of cAMP-signal transduction pathway) and the synthetic glucocorticoid, dexamethasone. A cell culture protocol was designed, by which each component of the differentiation cocktail was replaced with either benzylamine or tyramine, in order to determine whether these amine oxidase substrates could substitute any of the differentiation inducers in 3T3-L1 cells. The incomplete lipid accumulation found in cells grown under IBMX- or dexamethasone-free conditions was not improved by the daily addition of amines to the culture medium. Insulin was the only component of adipose differentiation cocktail of 3T3-L1 that could be replaced, although partially, by tyramine or benzylamine. When used at 0.5 mM, these amines resulted in a significant increase of triacylglycerol accumulated eight days after confluence, when compared to cells kept without insulin. This partial insulin replacement was totally abolished by SSAO-inhibitors, while MAO-blockade did not reduce lipid accumulation. As previously reported for other insulin-sensitive processes, such as stimulation of glucose transport or lipolysis inhibition in mature adipocytes, the stimulation of adipogenesis by tyramine and benzylamine was an SSAO-dependent mechanism that apparently shared common signaling pathways with insulin.

Abstract
Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) is highly expressed in adipose cells, and substrates of SSAO such as benzylamine in combination with low concentrations of vanadate strongly stimulate glucose transport and GLUT4 recruitment in mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes and in isolated rat adipocytes. Here we examined whether this combination of molecules also stimulates glucose transport in adipocytes from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and from Goto-Kakizaki diabetic rats. As previously reported, adipocytes obtained from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, showed a reduced stimulation of glucose transport in response to insulin. Under these conditions, the combination of benzylamine and vanadate caused a marked stimulation of glucose transport that was similar to the stimulation detected in control adipocytes. Adipocytes isolated from Goto-Kakizaki diabetic rats also showed a defective response to insulin; however, acute incubation in the presence of benzylamine and vanadate stimulated glucose transport in these cells to the same extent than in adipocytes from non-diabetic rats. These data indicate that adipocytes obtained from two different models of animal diabetes do not show resistance to the activation of glucose transport by SSAO activity, which is in contrast to the well reported resistance to insulin action. It seems to suggest that SSAO activity in combination with vanadate triggers a glucose transport-activating intracellular pathway that remains intact in the diabetic state. Further, our data support the view that the combination of benzylamine and vanadate could be an effective therapy in diabetes.

Abstract
Non digestible dietary carbohydrates have been reported to modify lipaemia and post-prandial glycaemia and insulinaemia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a non-digestible gluco-oligosaccharides (GOS) diet on glucose, insulin, triglycerides and free fatty acid blood levels and glucose sensitivity in high fat diet fed mice (a high fat diet composed of 45% fat, 35% carbohydrate and 20% protein). Female C57B16/J mice were divided into two groups fed a high fat diet (HF) for 20 weeks supplemented or not with 1.5 g/kg/day of GOS (HF-GOS). The GOS supplementation did not change body weight nor fat pad mass, nor any of the blood parameters measured (glucose, insulin, leptin, triglycerides, and free fatty acids). However, mice which received the GOS supplemented diet showed an increased glucose utilization after a 1 g/kg load of glucose compared with the mice fed the high fat diet alone. Our results suggest a role for non-digestible GOS in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism.

Abstract
Octopamine, which is closely related to norepinephrine, acts as a neurotransmitter in invertebrates and is a trace amine with undefined properties in vertebrates. The octopaminergic receptors identified in insects are targets of various pesticides but are absent in vertebrates. We have established that octopamine stimulates fat cell lipolysis in mammals via activation of beta3-adrenoceptors (ARs), whereas this amine has been described elsewhere as an alpha2-AR agonist and as a substrate for monoamine oxidase (MAO) or semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO). Because we have recently reported that amine oxidase substrates promote glucose transport in rat and human adipocytes, the in vitro octopamine effects on lipolysis and glucose uptake were reassessed by using adipocytes from beta3-AR-deficient mice. The lipolytic effect and the counter-regulation of insulin action on glucose transport provoked by 0.1 to 1 mM octopamine or by 1 microM beta3-AR agonists found in control animals disappeared in adipocytes from beta3-AR-deficient mice. This revealed an insulin-like effect of octopamine on glucose uptake, which was dependent on its oxidation by MAO or SSAO, as was the case for tyramine and benzylamine, devoid of beta3-adrenergic agonism. Similarly, octopamine promoted glucose transport in human adipocytes and exhibited a weaker lipolytic stimulation than in rodent adipocytes. These findings indicate that, besides its lipolytic activity, octopamine exerts, at millimolar dose, dual effect on glucose transport in adipocytes: counteracting insulin action via beta3-AR activation and stimulating basal transport via its oxidation by MAO or SSAO.

Abstract
Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) is highly expressed in adipose cells, and substrates of SSAO, such as benzylamine, in combination with low concentrations of vanadate strongly stimulate glucose transport and GLUT4 recruitment in 3T3-L1 and rat adipocytes. Here we examined whether acute and chronic administration of benzylamine and vanadate in vivo enhances glucose tolerance and reduces hyperglycemia in diabetic rats. Acute intravenous administration of these drugs enhanced glucose tolerance in nondiabetic rats and in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. This occurred in the absence of changes in plasma insulin concentrations. However, the administration of benzylamine or vanadate alone did not improve glucose tolerance. The improvement caused by benzylamine plus vanadate was abolished when rats were pretreated with the SSAO-inhibitor semicarbazide. Chronic administration of benzylamine and vanadate exerted potent antidiabetic effects in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Although daily administration of vanadate alone (50 and 25 micromol x kg(-1) x day(-1) i.p.) for 2 weeks had little or no effect on glycemia, vanadate plus benzylamine reduced hyperglycemia in diabetic rats, enhanced basal and insulin-stimulated glucose transport, and upregulated GLUT4 expression in isolated adipocytes. In all, our results substantiated that acute and chronic administration of benzylamine with low dosages of vanadate have potent antidiabetic effects in rats.

Abstract
We have previously reported that substrates of monoamine oxidase (MAO) and semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) exert short-term insulin-like effects in rat adipocytes, such as stimulation of glucose transport. In the present work, we studied whether these substrates could also mimic long-term actions of insulin. Adipose differentiation of 3T3 F442A cells, which is highly insulin-dependent, served as a model to test the effects of sustained administration of amine oxidase substrates. Daily treatment of confluent cells with 0.75 mM tyramine (a substrate of MAO and SSAO) or benzylamine (a substrate of SSAO) over 1 week caused the acquisition of typical adipocyte morphology. The stimulation of protein synthesis and triacylglycerol accumulation caused by tyramine or benzylamine reached one half of that promoted by insulin. This effect was insensitive to pargyline (an MAO inhibitor), but was inhibited by semicarbazide (an SSAO inhibitor) and by N-acetylcysteine (an antioxidant agent), suggesting the involvement of the H(2)O(2) generated during SSAO-dependent amine oxidation. Chronic administration of amine oxidase substrates also induced the emergence of adipose conversion markers, such as aP2, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, the glucose transporter GLUT4, and SSAO itself. Moreover, cells treated with amines acquired the same insulin sensitivity regarding glucose transport as adipocytes classically differentiated with insulin. In all, most of the adipogenic effects of amines were additive to insulin. Our data reveal that amine oxidase substrates partially mimic the adipogenic effect of insulin in cultured preadipocytes. Furthermore, they suggest that SSAO not only represents a novel late marker of adipogenesis, but could also be directly involved in the triggering of terminal adipocyte differentiation.

Abstract
Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidases (SSAO) are widely distributed enzymes scavenging biogenic or exogenous amines and generating hydrogen peroxide. We asked whether human adipose tissue could express SSAO. Since hydrogen peroxide exhibits pharmacological insulin-like effects, we also tested whether its endogenous production by SSAO could mimic several insulin effects on adipocytes, such as stimulation of glucose uptake and inhibition of lipolysis. The benzylamine oxidation by human adipose tissue was inhibited by semicarbazide or hydralazine and resistant to pargyline or selegiline. It was due to an SSAO activity localized in adipocyte membranes. A protein of 100-kDa and a 4-kb mRNA corresponding to SSAO were identified in either mammary or abdominal subcutaneous fat depots. In isolated adipocytes, SSAO oxidized similarly benzylamine and methylamine that dose dependently stimulated glucose transport in a semicarbazide-sensitive manner. Antioxidants also inhibited the benzylamine and methylamine effects. Moreover, the ability of diverse substrates to be oxidized by adipocytes was correlated to their effect on glucose transport. Benzylamine and methylamine exerted antilipolytic effects with a maximum attained at 1 mM. These results show that human adipocytes express a membrane-bound SSAO that not only readily oxidizes exogenous amines and generates H(2)O(2), but that also interplays with glucose and lipid metabolism by exerting insulin-like actions. Based on these results and the fact that variations in plasma levels of the soluble form of SSAO have been previously reported in diabetes, we propose that determination of adipocyte SSAO, feasible on subcutaneous microbiopsies, could bring relevant information in pathologies such as obesity or diabetes.

Abstract
It has been shown that the combination of benzylamine or tyramine and low concentrations of vanadate markedly stimulates glucose transport in rat adipocytes by a mechanism that requires semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) activity and H(2)O(2) formation. Here we have further analysed the insulin-like effects of the combination of SSAO substrates and vanadate and we have studied the signal-transduction pathway activated in rat adipocytes. We found that several SSAO substrates (benzylamine, tyramine, methylamine, n-decylamine, histamine, tryptamine or beta-phenylethylamine), in combination with low concentrations of vanadate, stimulate glucose transport in isolated rat adipocytes. Furthermore, SSAO substrates together with vanadate stimulated the recruitment of GLUT4 to the cell surface in isolated rat adipocytes. Benzylamine plus vanadate also stimulated glucose transport and GLUT4 translocation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Benzylamine or tyramine in combination with vanadate potently stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of both insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and IRS-3. In contrast, benzylamine and vanadate caused only a weak stimulation of insulin receptor kinase. Benzylamine or tyramine in combination with vanadate also stimulated phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity; wortmannin abolished the stimulatory effect of benzylamine and vanadate on glucose transport in adipose cells. Furthermore, the administration of benzylamine and vanadate in vivo caused a rapid lowering of plasma glucose levels, which took place in the absence of alterations in plasma insulin. On the basis of these results we propose that SSAO activity regulates glucose transport in adipocytes. SSAO oxidative activity stimulates glucose transport via the translocation of GLUT4 carriers to the cell surface, resulting from a potent tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and IRS-3 and phosphoinositide 3-kinase activation. Our results also indicate that substrates of SSAO might regulate glucose disposal in vivo.

Abstract
Octopamine is known to exert adrenergic effects in mammals although specific octopamine receptors have been cloned only in invertebrates. It has been shown that octopamine can stimulate alpha(2)-adrenoceptors (ARs) in Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with human alpha(2)-ARs. More recently, we reported that octopamine stimulates lipolysis through beta(3)-rather than beta(1)-or beta(2)-AR activation in white adipocytes from different mammalian species. The present study was thus undertaken to further characterize the adrenergic properties of octopamine. For this purpose, several biological processes known to be regulated by adrenergic stimulation were studied in response to octopamine, noradrenaline, adrenaline and tyramine in white adipocytes from different mammals. First, octopamine was fully lipolytic in garden dormouse and Siberian hamster while tyramine was ineffective. Although being around one hundred-fold less potent that noradrenaline, octopamine was slightly more potent in these hibernators known for their high sensitivity to beta(3)-AR agonists than in rat and chiefly more active than in human adipocytes known for their limited responses to beta(3)-AR agonists. Second, octopamine reduced insulin-dependent glucose transport in rat fat cells, a response also observed with noradrenaline and selective beta(3)-AR agonists but not with beta(1)-or beta(2)-agonists. Third, human adipocytes, which endogenously express a high level of alpha(2)-ARs, exhibited a clear alpha(2)-adrenergic antilipolytic response to adrenaline but not to octopamine. Moreover, octopamine exhibited only a very weak affinity for the alpha(2A)-ARs labeled by [3H]RX821002 in human adipocyte membranes. In Syrian hamster adipocytes, which also possess alpha(2)-ARs, octopamine induced only a weak antilipolysis. Finally, octopamine was a substrate of fat cell amine oxidases, with an apparent affinity similar to that of noradrenaline. All these results demonstrate that octopamine, tyramine noradrenaline and adrenaline can be degraded by adipocyte amine oxidases. However these biogenic amines interact differently with adipocyte adrenoceptors: tyramine is inactive, adrenaline and noradrenaline activate both beta- and alpha(2)-ARs while octopamine activates only beta(3)-ARs and is devoid of alpha(2)-adrenergic agonism. Thus, octopamine could be considered as an endogenous selective beta(3)-AR agonist.

Abstract
The clearance of plasma adrenaline and noradrenaline by human adipose tissue suggests the expression of the catecholamine-degrading enzyme monoamine oxidases and of catecholamine transport systems in adipocytes. In the present study, we identified and characterized the monoamine oxidases and an extraneuronal noradrenaline transporter expressed in human adipocytes. Enzyme assays using the monoamine oxidase A/B substrate [14C]tyramine showed that abdominal and mammary human adipocytes contain one of the highest monoamine oxidase activities in the body. Characterization of the enzyme isoforms by inhibition profiles of [14C]tyramine oxidation and Western and Northern blot analyses showed that mRNAs and proteins related to both monoamine oxidases A and B were expressed in adipocytes. Quantification of each enzyme isoform performed by enzyme assay and Western blot showed that monoamine oxidase A was predominant, representing 70-80% of the total enzyme activity. In uptake experiments, the monoamine oxidase substrate [3H]noradrenaline was transported into white adipocytes (Vmax 0.81+/-0.3 nmol/30 min/100 mg of lipid, Km 235+/-104 microM). The inhibition of [3H]noradrenaline uptake by specific inhibitors indicated that white human adipocytes contain an extraneuronal-type noradrenaline transporter. Competition studies of [14C]tyramine oxidation showed that noradrenaline is metabolized by monoamine oxidases in intact cells. In conclusion, the concomitant expression of monoamine oxidases and of a noradrenaline transporter in human white adipocytes supports the role of the adipose tissue in the clearance of peripheral catecholamines. These results suggest that adipocytes should be considered as a previously unknown potential target of drugs acting on monoamine oxidases and noradrenaline transporters.

Abstract
Numerous synthetic agonists selectively stimulate beta3-adrenoceptors (ARs). The endogenous catecholamines, noradrenaline and adrenaline, however, stimulate all the beta-AR subtypes, and no selective physiological agonist for beta3-ARs has been described so far. The aim of this study was to investigate whether any naturally occurring amine can stimulate selectively beta3-ARs. Since activation of lipolysis is a well-known beta-adrenergic function, the efficacy and potency of various biogenic amines were compared with those of noradrenaline, isoprenaline, and beta3-AR agonists 4-(-{[2-hydroxy-(3-chlorophenyl)ethyl]-amino} propyl)phenoxyacetate (BRL 37,344) and (R,R)-5-(2-{[2-(3-chlorophenyl )-2-hydroxyethyl]-amino} propyl)-1,3-benzo-dioxole-2,2-dicarboxylate (CL 316,243) by testing their lipolytic action in white fat cells. Five mammalian species were studied: rat, hamster and dog, in which selective beta-AR agonists act as full lipolytic agents, and guinea-pigs and humans, in which beta3-AR agonists are less potent activators of lipolysis. Several biogenic amines were inefficient (e.g. dopamine, tyramine and beta-phenylethylamine) while others (synephrine, phenylethanolamine, epinine) were partially active in stimulating lipolysis in all species studied. Their actions were inhibited by all the beta-AR antagonists tested, including those selective for beta1- or beta2-ARs. Octopamine was the only amine fully stimulating lipolysis in rat, hamster and dog fat cells, while inefficient in guinea-pig or human fat cells, like the beta3-AR agonists. In rat white fat cells, beta-AR antagonists inhibited the lipolytic effect of octopamine with a relative order of potency very similar to that observed against CL 316,243. Competitive antagonism of octopamine effect resulted in the following apparent pA2 [-log(IC50), where IC50 is the antagonist concentration eliciting half-maximal inhibition] values: 7.77 (bupranolol), 6.48 [3-(2-ethyl-phenoxy)-1[(1 S)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphth-1-ylaminol]-(2S)2-propanol oxalate, SR 59230A, a beta3-selective antagonist], 6.30[erythro-D,L-1(7-lethylindan-4-yloxy)-3-isopropylamino-+ ++butan-2-ol, ICI 118,551, a beta2-selective antagonist] and 4.71 [(+/-)-[2-(3-carbomyl-4-hydroxyphenoxy)-ethylamino]-3-[4-(1- methyl-4-trifluoromethyl-2-imidazolyl)-phenoxy]2-propanolmethane sulphonate, CGP 20712A, a beta1-selective antagonist]. Octopamine had other properties in common with beta3-AR agonists: stimulation of oxygen consumption in rat brown fat cells and very low affinity in displacing [3H]CGP 12,177 binding to [beta1- or beta2-ARs in dog and rat adipocyte membranes. In Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing human beta3-ARs, octopamine inhibited [125I]ICYP binding with only twofold less affinity than noradrenaline while it exhibited an affinity around 200-fold lower than noradrenaline in CHO cells expressing human beta1- or beta2-ARs. These data suggest that, among the biogenic amines metabolically related to catecholamines, octopamine can be considered as the most selective for beta3-ARs.

Abstract
The previous characterization of an abundant population of non-adrenergic imidazoline-I2 binding sites in adipocytes and the recent demonstration of the interplay between these binding sites and amine oxidases led us to analyze the amine oxidase activity in membranes from isolated rat adipocytes. Adipocyte membranes had substantial levels of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO). SSAO activity and immunoreactive SSAO protein were maximal in plasma membranes, and they were also detectable in intracellular membranes. Vesicle immunoisolation analysis indicated that GLUT4-containing vesicles from rat adipocytes contain substantial levels of SSAO activity and immunoreactive SSAO protein. Immunotitration of intracellular GLUT4 vesicles indicated that GLUT4 and SSAO colocalize in an endosomal compartment in rat adipocytes. SSAO activity was also found in GLUT4 vesicles from 3T3-L1 adipocytes and rat skeletal muscle. Benzylamine, a substrate of SSAO activity, caused a marked stimulation of glucose transport in isolated rat adipocytes in the presence of very low vanadate concentrations that by themselves were ineffective in exerting insulin-like effects. This synergistic effect of benzylamine and vanadate on glucose transport was totally abolished in the presence of semicarbazide, a specific inhibitor of SSAO. Subcellular membrane fractionation revealed that the combination of benzylamine and vanadate caused a recruitment of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane of adipose cells. The stimulatory effects of benzylamine and vanadate on glucose transport were blocked by catalase, suggesting that hydrogen peroxide production coupled to SSAO activity plays a crucial regulatory role. Based on these results we propose that SSAO activity might contribute through hydrogen peroxide production to the in vivo regulation of GLUT4 trafficking in adipose cells.

Abstract
Nonadrenergic imidazoline I2-binding sites colocalize with monoamine oxidase (MAO) in various tissues. As white adipocytes from various species have been reported to be very rich in I2-sites, the authors consider whether these cells show a substantial MAO activity and explore its functional role. Oxidation of [14C]tyramine by rat adipocyte membranes was dependent on both MAO and semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO). Tyramine oxidation was identical in membranes and in intact adipocytes (Vmax: 11-12 nmol/min/mg protein). A similar effect of MAO and SSAO inhibitors was obtained in both the intact cells and the membranes: half of the activity was sensitive to semicarbazide and the other half more easily inhibited by MAO-A than by MAO-B inhibitors. As the reaction catalyzed by amine oxidases generates H2O2, which mimicks certain insulin effects in adipocytes, we tested whether tyramine oxidation influences glucose transport in adipocytes. One mM tyramine weakly stimulated glucose transport. A clear potentiation of tyramine effect occurred in the presence of 0.1 mM vanadate, ineffective by itself, reaching half-maximal insulin stimulation. This stimulation was sensitive to MAO and SSAO inhibitors and to catalase. The 5-fold activation of glucose transport was accompanied by translocation of GLUT4 transporters to the plasma membrane. This shows that tyramine is readily oxidized by adipocytes and potentiates the effects of vanadium on glucose transport through release of hydrogen peroxide. The role of the amine oxidases, which are highly expressed in adipocytes, allows them to be considered as more than mere scavengers of circulating amines.

Abstract
Short day photoperiod promotes thermogenesis and extensive weight loss in Siberian hamsters (Phodopus sungorus sungorus). To determine whether a change in hormone-sensitive lipolysis occurs after short-photoperiod exposure, some lipolytic responses were measured on white adipocytes isolated from animals exposed in warm conditions to short or Long daylight photoperiod. The body mass of male Siberian hamsters exposed during 11 weeks to short days (SD; light: dark, 6:18 hr) reached only 50% of those kept in long days (LD; 16: 8 hr). In SD-hamsters, adipose depot mass also represented approximately 50% of the LD group. A lower DNA content was observed in intra-abdominal fat pads of SD-hamsters. Lipolytic responses to noradrenaline, adrenaline, isoproterenol and ACTH were unchanged. However, sensitivity to the beta-3 adrenergic agonist, BRL 37344, was moderately increased. The major component of the adrenergic control of lipolysis was mediated by beta-3 adrenoceptors in both LD- and SD-Siberian hamsters. The limited antilipolytic effect of alpha-2 adrenergic agonists, PYY or insulin was rather surprising in Siberian hamsters since these inhibitory systems are efficient in hibernants and other photoperiod-sensitive rodents. Our results show that, after short photoperiod exposure, white adipose tissue mass and DNA content are reduced, especially in the epididymal fat pad, with only minor changes in the adipocyte sensitivity to lipolytic hormones.
