The insulin-independent inhibition of lipolysis by palmitate, the anti-diabetic sulphonylurea glimepiride and H2O2 in rat adipocytes involves stimulation of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-specific phospholipase-C (GPI-PLC) and subsequent translocation of the GPI-anchored membrane ectoproteins (GPI-proteins), Gce1 and cluster of differentiation antigen (CD73), from specialized plasma membrane microdomains (DIGs) to cytosolic lipid droplets (LDs). This results in cAMP degradation at the LD surface and failure to activate hormone-sensitive lipase. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) may trigger this sequence of events in response to palmitate and glimepiride.
