The effects of glucose and of various inhibitors of glycolysis or of oxidative phosphorylation on stimulated lipolysis and on intracellular cyclic AMP and ATP levels were investigated in isolated human fat cells. The glycolysis inhibitors, NaF and monoiodoacetate, inhibited epinephrine or theophylline-stimulated lipolysis and parallely reduced the intracellular cyclic AMP and ATP levels; however, neither NaF nor monoidoacetate significantly affected dibutyryl cyclic AMP-induced lipolysis. Removal of glucose from the medium also reduced the rate of epinephrine-stimulated lipolysis and the intracellular cyclic AMP and ATP levels but failed to modify the lipolytic activity of dibutyryl cyclic AMP. The oxidative phosphorylation inhibitors, antimycin A and, under fixed conditions, 2,4-dinitrophenol also strongly decreased the adipocyte cyclic AMP and ATP levels but inhibited as well the rate of epinephrine- and of dibutyryl cyclic AMP-induced lipolysis. N-Ethylmaleimide, a mixed glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation inhibitor, not only reduced the intracellular cyclic AMP and ATP levels and epinephrine- or theophylline-induced lipolysis, but also that stimulated by dibutyryl cyclic AMP. When glycolysis was almost fully inhibited, human fat cells were insensitive to epinephrine but remained fully responsive to dibutyryl cyclic AMP. These results, showing a relationship between ATP availability, cyclic AMP synthesis and lipolysis, suggest a different ATP requirement for cyclic AMP synthesis and triacylglycerol lipase activation, a difference which could explain why ATP issued from glucose breakdown appears to be a determinant factor for cyclic AMP synthesis, but not for triacylglycerol lipase activation in human fat cells.
