The effects of insulin on lipoprotein lipase (LPL) messenger RNA (mRNA) were studied in mammary glands from virgin and late-pregnant rats. Virgin and pregnant rats (at 17 days of gestation) were subjected to a continuous infusion (35 ml/day) with 50% glucose for 72 h to produce a prolonged hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic condition. Gestation causes a 4-fold increase in LPL mRNA accompanied by a 3- to 4-fold increase in total LPL activity. Experimental hyperinsulinemia, generated by the 50% glucose infusion, had a similar effect in both pregnant and virgin rats, by enhancing (2- to 3-fold) both their LPL activity and LPL mRNA. Thus, total LPL activity and LPL mRNA significantly correlated with plasma insulin (r = 0.789, P &lt; 0.001; and r = 0.772, P &lt; 0.001, respectively). Furthermore, total LPL activity was correlated with LPL mRNA (r = 0.765, P = 0.001). In conclusion, the present study shows that insulin participates in the control of LPL expression in mammary glands, revealing its role as a modulator of the enzyme at a mRNA level.
