Diabetes is a prevalent metabolic disease affecting more than 25 million Americans. About 90% to 95% of patients have non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or type II diabetes.
Lipolysis plays a central role in the regulation of energy balance. Lipolysis is the process in which triglycerides (TG) are hydrolyzed into glycerol and free fatty acids. This process releases free fatty acids (FFA) into the bloodstream where they may be either re-esterified by the adipocyte or travel to other tissues and exert other effects throughout the body. Elevated adipocyte lipolysis has been observed in obese and diabetic individuals (Arner 1996). Excessive free fatty acid production is believed to contribute to insulin resistance in skeletal muscle that is observed in obesity. Hormone sensitive lipase is the rate-limiting enzyme catalyzing triglyceride breakdown. Perilipins, one of the PAT (perilipins, adipophilin, TIP47 proteins) family of lipid-associated proteins, are implicated in adipocyte lipolysis by mediating the interaction of HSL with the triacylglycerol molecule (Brasaemle et al. 2004; reviewed in, Tansey et al. 2004.) The presence of these proteins corresponds to lipolytic stimulation in cultured adipocytes (Braemle et al. 2004).

Lipid accumulation assays provide the tools to study the compounds that stimulate cultured human adipocyte differentiation or lipogenesis. Such compounds may be PPAR. agonists or a combination of thiazolidinediones and glucocorticoids that are potentially useful in the treatment of diabetes. Our assays measure potential PPAR agonists or glucocorticoid analogs. Assays include cellular accumulation of lipid after proscribed periods of time in culture, with and without compounds of interest.
