Plants elaborate a variety of secondary metabolites such as hydrolysable tannins which are relatively abundant in fruits, vegetables and beverages in the human diet. We have studied the in vivo long-term effect consumption of tannic acid-supplemented drinking water (0.05%, w/v) on the rat adipocyte adenyl cyclase system and on lipolysis. We found that 14-day tannic acid supplementation did not significantly affect either body growth or food consumption, while fat pads weight was higher than that of the control, although the difference was not significant. On the other hand, tannic acid supplementation decreased both basal and isoproterenol-stimulated lipolysis significantly whereas cyclic AMP production as well as adenyl cyclase activity increased significantly. These results are at a first glance contradictory as cyclic AMP accumulation and lipolysis are positively correlated in rat adipocytes. They suggest at least that the tannic acid diet led to an inhibition of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity followed by a decrease in lipolysis in rat adipocytes, and to an increased activity of the type VI adenyl cyclase subunit of rat fat cells. This subunit is known to be negatively regulated under phosphorylation by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. More in-depth studies are required to examine whether tannic acid could at least modify the expression of the catalytic subunit of adenyl cyclase, G-proteins and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and/or alter their activities
