White adipose tissue (WAT) has a crucial role in the development of obesity and related diseases, and the relevance of WAT mitochondrial function has been highlighted in the literature during the last decade [1,2,4]. Mitochondrial parameters, such as reactive oxygen species, biogenesis, fatty acid oxidation, respiration and uncoupling have been implicated in white adipocyte proliferation, adipogenesis, transdifferentiation, lipolysis and lipogenesis [1,2,4]. Therefore, WAT mitochondria function regulation is a promising target for the development of therapies tackling insulin resistance, obesity and related diseases. Palmitoleic acid is a monounsaturated n-7 fatty acid (16:1n7), produced and released by adipocytes, that has been shown to enhance whole body glucose disposal, to attenuate high-fat-fed mice hepatic steatosis, to protect pancreatic beta-cells from palmitic acid-induced death and to improve circulating lipid profile in both rodents and humans [3]. Our group has recently found strong evidence that palmitoleic acid is an important positive modulator of white adipocyte lipolysis and the content of the major lipases ATGL and HSL through a PPAR alpha-dependent mechanism in vitro and in vivo. Acute and chronic palmitoleic treatment led to enhanced lipolysis and inhibited lipogenesis [3]. To study the correlation of the previously described effects of palmitoleic acid in WAT with mitochondrial function, we performed oxygen consumption experiments using the Oroboros Oxygraph-2k. Our results show that both acute and chronic treatments with palmitoleic acid enhanced basal oxygen consumption in 3T3-L1 adipocytes by 7.6% and 12.8%, respectively. Experiments were carried out to test whether lipolysis and respiration enhancement by palmitoleic acid are linked to improved mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and/or uncoupling.
