Abstract

We investigated the effects of testosterone on the improvement of white adipose tissue explant and its molecular mechanism in adipose tissue of high fat diet-fed male castrated (CAST) mice. The CAST mice treated with testosterone had lower adipose tissue weights, the average size of adipocytes and mRNA levels of $C/EBP{\alpha}$ as well as adipocyte marker genes than the vehicle-treated CAST mice. These results suggest that testosterone prevent the expression of $C/EBP{\alpha}$ and $C/EBP{\alpha}$-mediated adipocyte marker genes, resulting in decreased adipose tissue mass and adipocyte metabolism in male CAST mice. Moreover, this study give a valuable molecular and biological knowledge on testosterone therapy in obese hypogonadal men.

본 연구는 고지방식이를 섭취한 정소절제수술을 한 수컷 마우스에서 백색지방증가의 개선에 대한 testosterone의 영향과 그것에 대한 분자생물학적 조절기전을 규명하였다. Testosterone이 처리된 정소절제수술 마우스(CAST+T)는 정소절제수술 마우스 (CAST)에 비해 지방조직무게, 지방세포크기 및 $C/EBP{\alpha}$와 지방세포 표지유전자의 mRNA 발현이 감소되었다. 본 연구결과는 testosterone이 $C/EBP{\alpha}$와 $C/EBP{\alpha}$에 의해 조절되는 지방세포 표지 유전자들의 발현을 억제시킴으로써 지방세포 조절기전이 억제되고 지방조직의 무게가 감소된다는 것을 시사하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 성선기능저하증 남성의 비만조절에 대한 testosterone therapy의 유익한 분자생물학적 정보를 제공할 것이다.
