The role of hypercorticism in the development of compromised beta-adrenergic signaling in adipose tissue was assessed in ob/ob mice adrenalectomized at 4 weeks of age and studied 1 and 3 weeks thereafter. Adrenalectomy prevented the rapid increase in body weight and fat deposition between 4 and 5 weeks of age in ob/ob mice and produced a phenotype indistinguishable from that of lean mice. However, adrenalectomized ob/ob mice became intermediate between lean and ob/ob mice by 7 weeks of age. Adipocyte beta3-adrenergic receptor (AR) messenger RNA levels were similar between lean and adrenalectomized ob/ob mice at both time points and were 4- to 8-fold higher than messenger RNA levels in ob/ob mice. As judged by maximal activation of adenylyl cyclase by a beta3-AR-selective agonist, adrenalectomy also restored functional activity of the beta3-AR to levels above or equivalent to those seen in lean mice at both time points. The present results suggest that development of hypercorticism at or before weaning in ob/ob mice represses expression of the beta3-AR and prevents the normal postweaning development of this signaling system in the adipocyte.
