The objective of this study was to determine whether obese human adipose tissue contains preformed stores of leptin and their relationship to secreted leptin. Detergent increased detectable leptin by about twofold, suggesting that leptin is stored in a membrane-bound location. Subcutaneous tissue leptin was ~1.6-fold higher than omental, paralleling known differences in leptin secretion and expression. The amount of leptin secreted during a 3-h incubation was similar to that of extractable tissue leptin. Tissue leptin levels were maintained over the incubation. Inhibition of protein synthesis decreased tissue leptin content but did not decrease leptin secretion until after 3 h of incubation. Culture of adipose tissue for 2 days with the combination of insulin and dexamethasone, but not with either hormone alone, increased tissue leptin content about twofold in both depots. Although insulin did not affect tissue leptin content, it potentiated leptin secretion (as a % of tissue stores). These data suggest that adipose tissue leptin storage and secretion per se are regulated. Regulation of the release of preformed leptin may modulate serum leptin levels in obese humans.
