Inhibition of specific binding of [125I]‐hGH to rat epididymal adipocytes by polyclonal antiserum raised against the extracellular domain of the rat GH receptor.

Figure 2. Figure 2.

Metabolic pathways in rodent skeletal muscle. Allosteric regulatory effects of metabolites are shown by the shaded arrows. Unbroken arrows accompanied by a (+) sign denote stimulation. Dashed arrows accompanied by a (−) sign denote inhibition.

Figure 3. Figure 3.

Lipid storage and mobilization in adipocytes. R1 and R2 are receptors for agonists that stimulate lipolysis, and R3 and R4 denote inhibitory receptors. Gs and Gi are the stimulatory and inhibitory guanine nucleotide‐binding proteins, respectively. AC = adenylyl clyclase, PDE = cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. PKA = protein kinase A, PKA* = activated protein kinase A, HSL = hormone‐sensitive lipase and HSL* = activated hormone‐sensitive lipase. LPL = lipoprotein lipase, VLDL = very low density lipoproteins, FFA plasma free fatty acids. Intracellular fatty acids may arise from breakdown of adipocyte triglycerides, plasma VLDL, or de novo synthesis from glucose. Glycerol released by lipolysis of triglycerides cannot be reutilized for triglyceride synthesis, which requires α‐glycerol phosphate that arises from glucose metabolism.

Figure 4. Figure 4.

Autoradiogram of 32P‐labeled G‐proteins from rat epididymal adipocytes after separation by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Adipocyte extracts were prepared from normal, hypophysectomized, and hypophysectomized rats treated with GH 4 h earlier. The extracts were incubated either with (32P)NAD+ in the presence of cholera toxin to label the alpha subunit of Gs or with a mixture of cholera toxin and pertussis toxin (ptx) to label the alpha subunits of both Gs and Gi. The abundance of NAD ribosylated Gsα, which migrated on the gel as two bands, was similar in all three conditions, but hypophysectomy selectively increased Giα, which migrated as a single band. Treatment with GH partially reversed the effect of hypophysectomy on Giα.

Figure 5. Figure 5.

Panel A: traditional view of the balance between inhibitory and stimulatory influences on the activity of adenylate cyclase. Panel B: modulation of the relative stimulatory and inhibitory inputs by resting the balance beam on a movable fulcrum. Growth hormone can be viewed as applying leftward pressure on the handle, thereby moving the fulcrum leftward and diminishing inhibitory input.
