Acute Female Hypogonadism Alters Adipose Tissue Fatty Acid Storage Factors and Chylomicronemia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
CONTEXT: Chronic sex steroid deficiency has effects on adipose fatty acid (FA) storage mechanisms and fat oxidation, but the chronology of events are not well understood. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to examine the acute effects of female sex steroid suppression on cellular mechanisms affecting abdominal and femoral subcutaneous adipose tissue FA storage. DESIGN: This study had a randomized, longitudinal, parallel study design. SETTING: The study was conducted at the Mayo Clinic Clinical Research Unit. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-eight nonsmoking premenopausal women aged 18-50 years participated in the study. INTERVENTION: The intervention included randomization to receive one of the following: 1) no treatment (control), 2) 3.75 mg of Lupron, or 3) 3.75 mg of Lupron and estrogen, but not progesterone, replacement for 49 days, resulting in at least 4 weeks of sex steroid suppression. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Body composition, fat cell size, postprandial chylomicron and nonchylomicron triglyceride concentrations, adipose tissue meal FA storage, direct free fatty acid storage, lipoprotein lipase, acyl CoA synthetase, and diacylglycerol acyltransferase activities, and CD36 content were measured. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the fed state femoral lipoprotein lipase activity was reduced in women taking Lupron and those taking Lupron and estrogen replacement. In addition, we observed significantly greater postprandial chylomicronemia in the Lupron group than in the other two groups. There were no differences in overall fat storage and oxidation. Depending on the mode of data expression (per unit lipid vs per 1000 adipocytes), there were modest changes in acyl CoA synthetase, diacylglycerol acyltransferase, and CD36 in response to acute sex hormone suppression. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest estrogen and progesterone may have different effects on the regulation of FA metabolism and that acute sex steroid deficiency in women does not alter fat storage and oxidation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
