RÉSUMÉ

Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) exists as two isoforms, 5a and 5b. TRAP 5a is elevated in adipose tissue of obese women, interacts with pre-adipocytes and is linked to insulin-sensitive hyperplastic obesity when overexpressed in mice. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between serum TRAP 5a, adiposity indices and metabolic syndrome risk markers in lean and obese women, using a newly developed TRAP 5a-specific ELISA. A TRAP 5a sandwich ELISA was optimized using TRAP 5a-specific monoclonal antibodies and tested in sera of healthy males. TRAP 5a levels were quantitated in sera from healthy males and lean and obese women. Serum TRAP 5a protein levels were lower in obese women in comparison with lean. In obese, but not in lean women, serum TRAP 5a correlated positively to % fat mass, BMI, waist- and hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio and PAI, while no correlations to serum leptin, HOMA, glucose, insulin, FFA, HDL, TG, APO-A1 and APO-B were observed. TRAP 5a serum levels correlated positively to anthropometric obesity parameters but not to metabolic syndrome risk factors, indicating that serum TRAP 5a is associated with pathological adipose tissue expansion.
