Abstract

Objective: The objective of the current study was to investigate the hypothesis that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) influences adipocyte metabolism and adiponectin expression. Therefore, HDL was increased in vivo via apolipoprotein (apo) A-I gene transfer and in vitro via supplementation of HDL to partly differentiated adipocytes, in the presence or absence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), known to decrease HDL cholesterol and adiponectin levels in vivo. Methods and results: Apo A-I transfer resulted in a significant increase of HDL cholesterol in control and LPS-injected C57BL/6 mice, which was paralleled by an increase in plasma adiponectin levels and adiponectin expression in abdominal fat. Triglyceride and free fatty acids levels after LPS administration were 2.2-fold (p
