precipitated with ethanol, dried, and resuspended in H2O. Contaminating genomic DNA<br />

was removed <strong>by</strong> treatment with DNase (DNA-free; Ambion).<br />

Real-time qPCR. First strand cDNA synthesis and real time quantitative PCR were<br />

carried out using the ABI PRISM 7700 Sequence Detection System (Applied<br />

Biosystems) as previously described (Brown et al. 2003). Primer sets for perilipin and<br />

TATA binding protein (TBP) have previously been described (Brown et al. 2004).<br />

Primer sets for HSL were (accession # NM_005357) sense (5’aagtgggcgcaagtccc),<br />

antisense (5’gcgcatcggctctgctat), and for ADRP were (accession # NM_001122) sense<br />

(5’gctgagcacattgagtcacgtac), antisense (5’ctgagtcaggttgcgggc).<br />

Statistical Analysis<br />

Lipolysis data are expressed as the mean ± S.E. representing 16 independent<br />

observations from four different human subjects. Data were analyzed using one-way<br />

analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed <strong>by</strong> each pair student’s t-tests for multiple<br />

comparisons. Differences were considered significant if p < 0.05. All analyses were<br />

performed using JMP IN v4.04 (SAS Institute; Cary, NC) software.<br />

Results<br />

Trans-10, cis-12 CLA Acutely Increases Lipolysis<br />

To determine the isomer-specific influence of CLA on lipolysis, [ 14 C]-oleic acid<br />

was preloaded into SV cultures containing newly differentiated human adipocytes,<br />

allowing esterification of radio-labeled oleic acid into TG. The release of [ 14 C]-oleic acid<br />
