| Abstract | Obesity increases the risk of diabetes. The dysregulation of estrogen metabolism has been associated with the susceptibility to obesity and diabetes. Here, we explore the role estrogen plays in sex differences in obesity and glucose metabolism, specifically adipocyte biology.We randomized C57BL/6 J male, non-ovariectomized female, ovariectomized female, and ovariectomized female mice supplemented with 17β estradiol to receive a calorie-restricted, low- or a high-fat diet (15 mice per group). We measured weight gained, calories consumed, percent body fat, abdominal adipose tissue, adipocyte size, lipogenic and adipogenic gene expression, and glucose tolerance.Male mice had a higher susceptibility to obesity than intact female mice. However, removal of the ovaries in female mice eliminated the protection to obesity and estrogen supplementation restored this protection. Male and ovariectomized female mice gained weight predominately in the form of abdominal adipose tissue possibly due to an increase in adipocyte size. Moreover, for mice consuming the high-fat diet, male and ovariectomized female mice had significantly higher levels of leptin mRNA and lower hormone-sensitive lipase mRNA relative to intact female mice and ovariectomized female mice supplemented with estrogen. Additionally, estrogen had a strong inhibitory effect on key adipogenic genes in non-ovariectomized female and ovx-female mice supplemented with estrogen. Finally, we show that male and ovariectomized female mice consuming the high-fat diet had a higher incidence of glucose intolerance.Estrogen protects female mice from obesity and impaired glucose tolerance possibly by modulating the expression of genes regulating adipogenesis, lipogenesis, and lipolysis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
