Tamoxifen reduces hepatic VLDL production and GH secretion in women: a possible mechanism for steatosis development

Context Growth hormone (GH) stimulates hepatic synthesis of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), whereas hepatic steatosis develops as a result of GH deficiency. Steatosis is also a complication of tamoxifen treatment, the cause of which is not known. As tamoxifen inhibits the secretion and action...

description Context Growth hormone (GH) stimulates hepatic synthesis of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), whereas hepatic steatosis develops as a result of GH deficiency. Steatosis is also a complication of tamoxifen treatment, the cause of which is not known. As tamoxifen inhibits the secretion and action of GH, we hypothesize that it induces steatosis by inhibiting hepatic VLDL export. Aim To investigate whether tamoxifen reduces hepatic VLDL secretion. Design Eight healthy, normolipidemic women (age: 64.4 ± 2.1 years) were studied in random sequence at baseline, after 2 weeks of tamoxifen (20 mg/day) and after 2 weeks of estradiol valerate (EV; 2 mg/day) treatments, separated by a 4-week washout period. The kinetics of apolipoprotein B (apoB), the structural protein of VLDL particles, were measured using a stable isotope 2H3-leucine turnover technique. VLDL-apoB fractional catabolic rate (FCR) was determined using a multicompartment model. VLDL-apoB secretion was estimated as the product of FCR and VLDL-apoB concentration. GH response to arginine stimulation, circulating levels of IGF-1, FFA, and TG, along with TG content in VLDL were measured. Results Tamoxifen significantly (P

Results Tamoxifen significantly (P &lt; 0.05) reduced VLDL-apoB concentration and secretion by 27.3 ± 7.8% and 29.8 ± 10.2%, respectively. In contrast, EV did not significantly change VLDL-apoB concentration or secretion. Tamoxifen but not EV significantly reduced (P &lt; 0.05) GH response to arginine stimulation. Both treatments significantly lowered (P &lt; 0.05) circulating IGF-1. Conclusion Inhibition of VLDL secretion may contribute to the development of fatty liver during tamoxifen therapy. As GH stimulates VLDL secretion, the development of steatosis may arise secondarily from GH insufficiency induced by tamoxifen.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0804-4643</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1479-683X</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1530/EJE-17-0151</identifier><identifier>PMID: 28500244</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: Bioscientifica Ltd</publisher><subject>17β-Estradiol ; Aged ; Apolipoprotein B ; Arginine ; Clinical Study ; Estrogen Antagonists - adverse effects ; Estrogen Antagonists - pharmacology ; Fatty liver ; Fatty Liver - blood ; Fatty Liver - chemically induced ; Fatty Liver - diagnosis ; Female ; Growth hormones ; Human Growth Hormone - antagonists &amp; inhibitors ; Human Growth Hormone - blood ; Humans ; Insulin-like growth factor I ; Leucine ; Lipoproteins ; Lipoproteins (very low density) ; Lipoproteins, VLDL - antagonists &amp; inhibitors ; Lipoproteins, VLDL - blood ; Liver - drug effects ; Liver - metabolism ; Low density lipoprotein ; Middle Aged ; Secretion ; Steatosis ; Tamoxifen ; Tamoxifen - adverse effects ; Tamoxifen - pharmacology</subject><ispartof>European journal of endocrinology, 2017-08, Vol.177 (2), p.137-143</ispartof><rights>2017 European Society of Endocrinology</rights><rights>2017 European Society of Endocrinology.</rights><rights>Copyright BioScientifica Ltd.
