In preadipose cellular fractions (I, II and III) isolated by density gradient centrifugation from the inguinal tissue of young rats, we followed the activity of fatty acid synthetase, ATP citrate lyase and lipoprotein lipase during differentiation in culture. 1.5 nM insulin when added at confluence markedly induced the activity of ATP citrate lyase and fatty acid synthetase in the cells derived from the lighter fractions (I and II). The magnitude of this response was 25-50-fold the initial value 15 days after plating. In the cells of the heaviest fraction (III) both enzymes exhibited low activity which was slightly stimulated by the presence of insulin, VLDL and heparin. In contrast, the activity of lipoprotein lipase appeared before confluence in cells from all three fractions and peaked at day 6 after plating. This early emergence was independent of the addition of insulin to the medium. However, insulin slightly enhanced the peak activity in post-confluent cells. The development of cAMP production in response to isoproterenol (100 microM) and to glucagon (0.3 microM) was determined in the cells of fraction II in the same culture conditions. The responsiveness to isoproterenol was present very early in these cells and rose rapidly during the exponential growth phase, reaching a peak value at day 8 after plating. In contrast, the development of glucagon sensitivity occurred only during late differentiation. The stimulatory effect of glucagon was enhanced when VLDL and heparin were added with insulin to the medium.
