We provide evidence that a factor other than the previously identified lipid mobilizing factor, zinc alpha-2 glycoprotein, promotes lipolysis in the MCA-induced sarcoma-bearing cachexia model. Cachexia is characterized by progressive loss of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle without a concurrent increase in food intake to restore lost tissue stores. We compared tumor-bearing ad lib fed (TB) animals to nontumor bearing ad lib fed (NTB) animals or nontumor-bearing pair-fed (PF) animals at various time points throughout development of tumor derived cachexia. Prior to cachexia, the TB animals lost more than 10 +/- 0.7% of their body fat before losing protein mass and decreasing their food intake. Fat loss occurred because adipocyte size, not number, was reduced. Increased turnover of palmitate and significantly higher serum triglyceride levels prior to cachexia were further indicators of an early loss of lipid from the adipocytes. Yet, circulating levels of norepinephrine, epinephrine, TNF-alpha, and zinc alpha-2 glycoprotein were not increased prior to the loss of fat mass. We provide evidence for a serum factor(s), other than zinc alpha-2 glycoprotein, that stimulates release of glycerol from 3T3-L1 adipocytes and promotes the loss of stored adipose lipid prior to the loss of lean body mass in this model.
