  • 摘要:The pathway for the adipokinetic hormone-stimulated synthesis of sn-1,2-diacylglycerols in the adult Manduca sexta fat body was studied. Adult fat body lipids were labeled by feeding 5th instar larvae either with [9,10(n)-3H]oleic acid or [1(3)-3H] glycerol and after 32 days insects at the adult stage were used. This long-term prelabeling led to labeled fat body acylglycerols in which triacylglycerols comprised the main radioactive lipid component (95.5%), regardless of the radiolabeled compound used. Because the distribution of radioactivity among the lipid classes was very close to the mass distribution of the fat body lipid subspecies, it was concluded that homogeneous labeling of fat body lipids was obtained. After adipokinetic hormone treatment, an accumulation of radioactivity in the sn-1,2-diacylglycerol fraction was the only significant change found in the distribution of radioactivity among fat body lipids. The size of diacylglycerol pool increased 280% 60 min after adipokinetic hormone stimulation, whereas the fatty acid, monoacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid pool sizes remained constant. These results support the hypothesis that adipokinetic hormone-stimulated synthesis of sn-1,2-diacylglycerol in the fat body involves stereospecific hydrolysis of the triacylglycerol stores.
